# 7 - OPENING OF THE COMMON SCHOOL 1869 Mr Thomas Mattingley was appointed Head Teacher at a fixed salary, which had to be raised partly by a weekly charge of from sixpence 6d. to one shilling 1/-, being made for each scholar, according to age, the Committee holding itself responsible for any deficiency that might occur. On one occasion as much as Five pound had to be paid by each member of the Committee to make good the teacher's salary. Such arrangements continued in force until the passing of the famous Education Act of 1870.
