100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Frankston to get its own grammar school The teacher was giving a nature study lesson on a hen’s egg. Having elicited the fact that an egg is oval, he naturally inquired the reason for its shape. Much to his amusement a small child answered “Please, Sir, so that it will fit in an egg cup.” *** THE following letter has been received by the Editor: Through the columns of the “Standard” we wish to thank the parties who render valuable assistance to our pal who was stricken with influenza while on a holiday to Somerville during the Easter vacation. Unlimited praise is due to Mrs Meldrum and family, well known residents who did everything possible to relieve him of his sufferings and Dr Griffith for his prompt and kind attention. Also Mr Jack Webb for leaving his jinker and pony at our disposal. Yours etc., F.R. Webb & F.H. Swain, Richmond. *** A GRATEFUL Ratepaper writes: Great credit is due to the Frankston and Hastings Shire for the water trough erected on Cranbourne Road. When it is stated that recently the writer travelled 20 miles on one Main road without finding a trough to water his steed and eight miles in another direction, it can be readily seen what a boon to travellers is this work. It is so well constructed that the authorities evidently mean it to last for several generations. *** IT is safe to assume that if the Frankston Brass Band is established
it will receive solid support from local citizens, for undoubtedly a good band is of great benefit to any town. We are informed that one of the best Frankston barrackers and well wishers can put his hand on a score of pounds in donations if the Frankston Band comes here to stay. *** MRS J. H. Fielder who has successfully established a dancing class for children in Frankston, has consented to conduct an evening class for adults to commence on Tuesday 17th June, in the Mechanics. *** AT the special meeting of the Frankston Sub Branch R.S. & S.I.L.A. held on Monday’ night 19th. inst, the following office bearers were elected.—President, Mr A. Wilcox; Vice-Presidents — Messrs C. Bunney and W. Hanton; Treasurer — Mr A. Hill; Auditors — Messrs Carter and J. Smith; Committee — Messrs Hill, Stephens, McComb, Darcy, Walker and Johns; Secretary — O. Young. *** MRS Greene, of Frankston, has been notified that her second son Private E. R. Greene is returning from the front and is due to arrive in Melbourne on 30th May. *** PRIVATE Gus Goodwin who, is suffering from shell shock met with a painful accident on Saturday last. While boarding an electric tram he slipped and fractured his right hand and was kept in the Base Hospital for treatment. His brother, Gunner Bert. Goodwin is expected to arrive Friday, by the
