In connection with a
convention of teachers held in Saskatoon a short time ago, the Saskatoon
Phoenix
has the following reference to Mr. William H. Sharp:
"Visiting teachers at
the convention will do well to get acquainted with the principal of
the Princess Alexandra, the largest school in the city, for he is an
advocate of
more physical drill and music in schools, believing as does many
another advanced educationist, that the acquirement of grace and
poise is one of the most important features of child training.
"Mr. Sharpe was
born in Port Dover, Ontario, attended public and high schools there,
and after courses at Simcoe Model School and London Normal, went to
Queen's University. He has the B.A. degree with honors in
mathematics.
"He was science master
at Dunnville High School two years and also taught physical and
military drill there. Since 1913 he has been principal of the
Princess Alexandra School in Saskatoon.
"He married Miss
Genevieve F. Steinhoff of Simcoe.
They have one daughter."
