Notes

This report details the history of the Saskatchewan schools overseen by the Rosthern Superintendency (a region that's currently part of Prairie Spirit School Division No. 206). from the 1880s until 1967. The report includes histories of schools in the Duck Lake, Hague, Hepburn, Laird, Osler, Rosthern, and Waldheim areas (including St. Michael's Indian Residential School and Rosthern Junior College). Chapters on school activities - such as sports, drama, and music - and brief biographies of key Superintendency figures are also included. The Review is an amalgamation of local history facts, accounts of settler-indigenous relations, stories of pioneer life, and administrative/regulatory observations.
