School in High Park

When I lived in the High Park area, we would sometimes walk through the park on the way to the playground, the zoo or the gardens, all attractions to me and my grandmother. I would see beds and benches for students. I don't remember seeing the students but the article that I read in Renaissance, the Retired Teachers of Ontario Magazine suggests that there would have been students.
The school functioned Monday to Saturday each year, May 1st to October 31st. In the time that passed, I sometimes thought that it was my imagination that there were students in the woods. How remarkable to find out that there really were students studying in the woods. I understand that tuberculous is not the problem that it once was but won't it be wonderful to be able to study under the trees in High Park. Too bad that they closed the school down.
