    As a creative person, I was always interested in design but I never knew how to become a creative myself. I found the course a total life changer it opened my eyes to a creative industry that I had always wanted to be involved in.

    What an experience! I started with no technical adobe suite knowledge and a heart full of passion and excitement, and finished with a working knowledge of Adobe Suite, a group of amazing people I can now call friends, a portfolio of work that I am proud of and a creative support network. The course is full on and a lot of hard work, but because I was keen to expand my skillset and push myself to rise to the challenge I thoroughly enjoyed every step of the way. I can honestly say it has been one of the best experiences of my life.

    I attended Shillington College of Graphic Design at the Sydney campus in a full-time capacity which was an exciting decision for me. I completely did a 180 from working full time after many years to studying full time. I was unsure of how it would all turn out but looking back can advise it was well worth diving in and meeting liked minded new friends and entered a new community. We all quickly discovered how hard we would work but it saw us produce a large variety of creative and fun projects. We had fun always along the way and learned so much from each other as we all had different abilities and it was truly wonderful to discover different methods and techniques and evolve our designs within a supportive environment.

    To compile our own portfolio, in the end, was a pleasant way to conclude the course and reflect on all the work we had achieved. I was happy to discover my creative side through all the projects and the information resources were amazing and relevant /up to date. I appreciate (during the course), designers presenting and now after the course all the inspiration it is endless!!! I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to discover their creative self, the entire experience was special and I won’t forget my time there, thank you 🙂

    I choose Shillington for my design education based on its reputation and flexibility to study part-time. My experience at Shillington was extremely positive and my design skills and confidence in my abilities improved dramatically. By the end of the course, I made the decision to switch to a career in design full-time and found a job one month after graduation with my Shillington portfolio.

Hosted By Bedford Borough Council: Shillington School

The elevation of the new school [AD3865/39]

The school in Shillington was established in 1856 as a National School, for which plans survive [AD3865/39]. The site was behind old almshouses. The new buildings could accommodate 120 children and comprised two schoolrooms, one for boys and one for girls according to the plan [AD3865/39].

The first Education Act was passed in 1870 (more correctly it was known as the Elementary Education Act). It was a milestone in the provision of education in Britain demonstrating central government’s unequivocal support for education of all classes across the country. It also sought to secularise education by allowing the creation of School Boards. These were groups of representatives, elected by the local ratepayers and the Board had the powers to raise funds to form a local rate to support local education, build and run schools, pay the fees of the poorest children, make local school attendance compulsory between the ages of 5 and 13 and could even support local church schools, though in practice they replaced them, turning them into Board run schools (known as Board Schools). Naturally, and luckily for local historians, the Act required a questionnaire of local schools in 1870. The return for Shillington stated that accommodation for an additional 210 children was needed.

In 1874 a School Board was formed for Shillington, taking control of the school away from the church. By 1875 there were 200 at the school which was, thus, overcrowded and a new infants’ room was built. The number became 300 just three years later and the church was used to teach overspill classes. Eventually the Board bit the bullet and decided to build a new school, the Education Department in London estimating that there were 440 children between the ages of 3 and 13 in the parish. A piece of land adjoining the old school was bought and new schoolrooms built, the children moving to them in 1878 [SDShillington1/1]. As it turned out numbers began falling so that by 1903 there were only 200 on the books!

 
The former Junior School March 2014

A land mark Education Act was passed in 1902, coming into effect in 1903. It disbanded the School Boards and gave day to day running of education to newly formed Local Education Authorities, usually the county council, as in Bedfordshire. The old Board Schools thus became Council Schools whilst the old National, British and other non-Board schools became known as Public Elementary Schools. Shillington thus became a council school.

Bedfordshire & Luton Archives & Records Service has a scrapbook of cuttings of visits made to most Bedfordshire Schools by School Inspectors for a period from just before the First World War through the inter-war years [E/IN1/1]. The first entry is for 1910 when the inspector visited the junior department: “In the Mixed Department cloak-room accommodation for the girls is insufficient and for the boys almost entirely wanting. I regret that this serious defect in the premises, which have bene greatly and liberally improved in recent years, was not pointed out before”.

The first visit was to the junior department in 1910: “The condition of this department is not in all ways satisfactory. The children in the first class are very backward in reading, while in the second class the teaching is lifeless and the order is poor. The babies appear to be kindly and suitably treated”. A marginal note reads: “The Managers are taking steps to effect a change of Teachers in this Department”.

In 1911 the inspector reported of the mixed department that it was: “well organised and both carefully and intelligently taught. A good tone prevails and the level of efficiency reached is very creditable to the Head Master and his Staff”. In 1914 average attendance of juniors was 112: “The school is in excellent order and is taught in a careful and painstaking manner. The work of the upper division is very creditable and that of the middle division is, in most respects, satisfactory; the lower part of the school is a little weak but is evidently rapidly improving”. The inspector in the infants department wrote: “The Infants’ School has very much improved since last reported upon. Order in all classes is now good. The children are kindly and sympathetically treated and make good progress”.

In 1914 the inspector visiting the infants, average attendance 50, reported: “The Infants’ Department is kindly ordered and suitably taught, and in spite of a good deal of hindrance through epidemic sickness good progress has been made in all subjects”.

The next visit did not take place until after World War One, due to shortages in resources caused by the conflict. So in 1922, when average attendance in the mixed department was 121, the inspector reported: “The School is very carefully taught and the work of all Classes, in spite of recent poor attendance owing to illness, is, as a rule, quite satisfactory. The Geography of the First Class and the Composition and Spelling of the Fifth Standard fall below the level of the rest of the work, but marked progress has been made in History in which the children now take considerable interest. It is somewhat surprising to find that the Head Teacher, whose work in other respects is very thorough, appears to be unconscious that the children’s Speech throughout the School is very faulty, indistinct, and often almost inaudible. Many of the Reading books are in a dilapidated condition”.

In 1924 it was the turn of the infants to be visited, average attendance was 46: “It is many years since a report was submitted upon the work of this Department. The Head Mistress and her assistant may fairly be congratulated upon their earnest thought for the children, and, on the whole, the success of their methods. The power of reading is up to the average, possibly slightly better than average. Writing is clear and clean, but might in some cases be criticised for want of regularity. Number is interesting in that experiments with much of the Montessori Apparatus and largely on the lines of that system, have been conducted. The children appear to enjoy dealing with and talking of very large numbers; their attention has also been directed to small fractions and, informally to “tables”. This part of the teaching wants clinching. Their answers, at an afternoon visit and in unpropitious circumstances, seemed to show that the foundation work still wants precision, young though they are. Recitation is well known, rather more individual confidence in speaking out is desirable, and it is shyness of utterance which prevents the reading being really good. The singing is fairly good. The Teachers have difficulties with which to contend: it is hoped that they will go on in the spirit they are now showing”.

In 1925 both departments were visited. Average attendance in the infants’ department was 34: “The attendances at this school since the 14th May last year have, for 14 weeks been very low, ranging from 35 per cent to 85 per cent, and there have nee months of closure also. The sickness prevalent and persistent through the year has in fact made it impossible for the work to reach a high level. Certain aspects of the work and methods of teaching were discussed at this visit, and, given better attendance, there seems no reason why the attainments should not be quite satisfactory in future”.

The average attendance at the junior school was 119: “As in the case of the Infants’ School, the work of this school has been very seriously affected by long closures and much unsatisfactory attendance during the past twelve months. Under the circumstances creditable progress has been made. The subjects which have suffered most appear to be Writing, especially in the lower half of the school, Composition, History, Geography and Physical Training; but Arithmetic and most of the Reading and Singing do not fall greatly below their usual level. Given satisfactory conditions the lost ground bids fair to be recovered during the present School Year. The girls of the First Class should speak out better”.

 

The former infants’ school March 2014

The last visit to the infants’ school was in November 1926 when average attendance was 46: “These two visits were paid at the request of the Local Education Authority. No report was submitted in January, as the School work had been seriously hindered by epidemic sickness; but a communication on the state of affairs then found was made, and a further inspection was desired. There is on the whole little change to report in the work from the condition recorded in the report of 31st March 1924. There is very definite interest on the part of the children in Reading and Number, both of which are taught individually. Their interest keeps them at work, and apparently, hard at work. Reading is very good up to a point; they know their sounds and can help themselves as a rule over strange but straightforward words. Where they fall short of the usual standard is in phrasing. Even the best children – and every child was heard – read words and there is no attempt at phrasing. Number, however, seems to be a manipulation of groups of beads, and an elaborate series of tables, made out by the beads and constructed (or copied, for the work is sometimes copied from previous tables) ten times. At both these visits, and at a visit paid in April 1925, it was quite evident that mental work wanted more attention and that the reliance on the apparatus was bad for calculation”.

“This was the main criticism of the report of 1924. To sum up Number is not at all good. Handwriting is on the whole satisfactory. Recitation is most unsatisfactory. The children will not volunteer to say the very small amount they have learned and that senior infants only will say small Nursery Rhymes is a serious confession of weakness. The children are too reticent”.

“In the “Babies” room, the work has much improved. The children there answered with confidence questions in Number over which the older children with three exceptions (of the 11 round the table at the time) hesitated. Writing has improved. In fact this room is better. There is no doubt that much thought is expended on the School – but the results are in no way commensurate with the trouble expended. The methods are all too theoretical – and the work wants clinching”.

In 1928 attendance at the junior school was 109: “This school continues to make steady progress on sound lines. The Headmaster has recently introduced a House Sustem, which, when more fully developed should be far reaching in its effects. Already the children are shouldering their new responsibilities with credit and a new spirit has entered the School. The work shows evidence of sincere and sound teaching though this is more evident in written work than in oral. The former is good throughout and in the top class reaches a particularly good standard. English Composition must be specially mentioned for its fluency. There is some interesting Light Woodwork that might be successfully developed if a few more tools were added to the present inadequate equipment. Points in connection with the teaching of Arithmetic and private study methods in History and Geography were discussed with the Head Teacher at the close of the inspection”.

The inspection in 1933 was the first since both infants and juniors were integrated into the same school instead of separate departments, average attendance was 155: “This is a good country school in which there is clear clean written work. Good oral work, rather better alertness in Mental Arithmetic than is often found, and a generally good level in the other subjects. The examinations are thorough and are critically marked; especial interest is shown in Geography and fretwork by the boys. There is no Practical Instruction or Domestic Subject work here. The Teachers and children are working very conscientiously and the school is in a very creditable condition”.

The final inspection in the book dates from 1938 when average attendance was 146: “The older children are about to be transferred to Shefford when the new Senior School is opened there. The Head Master has raised a fairly good school into a model village school, and may be warmly congratulated on the spirit of enterprise and working hard which he has obtained, the excellence of the results of this work and the variety of the activities he has successfully introduced. He has very able assistance in the second and fourth classes, too; and the Physical side of the work is unusually sound and vigorous”.

The third of the great Education Acts was that of 1944 which established the principle of County Primary Schools for children up to the age of 11, at which time they took an examination to determine the nature of the secondary school they would attend until they were 15, the most academically able going to grammar schools, the rest to secondary or secondary modern schools. The act also created two types of successor to the public elementary schools – the Voluntary Aided and Voluntary Controlled schools. Voluntary Aided schools are those in which the Local Education Authority funds the school but the governing body is independent, they are usually Anglican or Roman Catholic schools. Voluntary Controlled schools own their own buildings whilst the staff are employed directly by the governors. Shillington thus became a county primary school. By the late 1950s concerns were being raised about the old 19th century buildings and the need for a new school. In 1961 the Local Education Authority informed the parish council that new school buildings were a high priority and that plans had been approved [PCShillington26/3]. At the same time the standard of catering at the school was criticised [PCShillington26/5].

 
Shillington Lower School  April 2015

In the early 1960s problems were experienced in getting staff as lack of housing affected recruitment, the school house adjoining the school needed repairing and was still owned by the Saint Albans Diocese as it had been built as accommodation for a teacher at the school when the school was a church school [PCShillington 26/8]. By 1963 overcrowding had become a real issue and the village hall was hired as a temporary measure [PCShillington26/9], in January that year the children attended school for three weeks in sub-zero temperatures, sitting in their coats for lessons at one point it was so cold there was no water as the pipes froze [SDShillington1/3]. That Spring the children finally began moving to the new school premises in Greenfields off Bury Road [SDShillington1/3]. Today [2015] the old school buildings are private houses.

In the 1970s Bedfordshire County Council introduced comprehensive education, doing away with the 11+ examination and grammar schools and introducing a tier of school between the old County Primary and County Secondary Schools. Thus Lower Schools now taught children aged 4 to 9, Middle Schools from 9 to 13 and Upper Schools from 13 onwards. Shillington became a lower school. On 1st April 2009 Bedfordshire County Council was abolished and the new Central Bedfordshire unitary authority became Shillington’s local education authority.

    What is graphic design?

    According to the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), graphic design is defined as “the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content.”

    In other words, graphic design communicates visually. These visuals can be as simple as a logo design or as complex as page layouts on websites.

    Graphic design around you :

    Graphic design is everywhere, from cereal boxes to flyers and the Internet in general. Combining creativity with strategy, design is everywhere you look and that matters. There are ample opportunities for graphic designers to make something meaningful.

    • Balance for stability and structure,

    • Repetition for the Union and Association for the Union and Combination strengthening and
    • Arrangement to make sharper, clearer results.

    • Top 6 suggestions for improving the learning process: the best educational applications and e-learning tools Single Story America by John Updike

      Photo: biblio-vluki.ru

      March 18, 2022 – 90 years since the birth of the famous American writer John Hoyer Updike, one of the most significant authors of the post-war generation. An acclaimed master of style, whose words were strung with pinpoint accuracy, he became famous for describing the lives of typical American middle class 1970s.

      The writer did not often give interviews, explaining his refusal by the fact that he tried to express something little that he knew about life and literature in his work. And indeed: the details of his life, up to the intimate ones, were used by him in numerous books. Biographers joked that Updike was leaving them out of work, as often the biographies looked like a retelling of his novels.

      The future writer was born in the family of a school teacher and grew up in rural Pennsylvania. He lived far from school and, as the only child in the house, was practically unable to interact with other children outside the classroom.

      As a child, Updike, by his own admission, was greatly influenced by two events: the crisis of the 1930s. and World War II.

      The young man graduated from Shillington High School with honors and was given the high honor of delivering a farewell speech at the graduation ceremony. For the next three summers he worked as a copyist for the Reading Eagle newspaper and even managed to get some of his essays published there. John received his higher education in English Language and Literature at Harvard, where he won a scholarship. Among classmates, he was considered promising and was known as the soul of the company.

      During his studies, the young man created comics for the famous Harvard comic magazine “ Harvard Lampoon “, and in his senior year he became the editor-in-chief of the publication.

      After graduating from Harvard, Updike received a one-year scholarship to study at Oxford at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art. Then he cherished the dream of becoming the second Walt Disney and making a career as an illustrator, but life decreed otherwise. Immediately after the release, 22-year-old Updike sold his first story to The New Yorker magazine.

      Updike’s first major work was The Almshouse Fair, published in 1959, which made him a rising star. A year later, readers were introduced to a character nicknamed “Rabbit” – basketball player Harry Angstrom – and a series of novels with sketches from his life, two of which were awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

      Five works about “Rabbit” written between 1960 and 2001 – “Rabbit Run”, “Rabbit Healed”, “Rabbit Get Rich”, “Rabbit Calmed Down” and “Memories of Rabbit “- were translated into many foreign languages, including Russian. And the novel “Centaur” has become a cult for a whole generation in the United States and around the world, including the USSR.

      In his interviews, Updike repeatedly explained why ordinary Americans always became the main characters of his works. “The writer must understand that everyday life is what the vast majority of people live by and that novels, in which there is a lot of far-fetched and fantastic, are very far from life. Ordinary, ordinary life is what you need to deal with, ”he believed.

      Peru author of 28 novels, as well as more than 800 stories, poems and essays. He not only published a lot of fiction and journalism, but also reviewed thousands of books (for the New Yorker magazine alone, he wrote more than a million words in critical columns). He was considered a cult writer, and almost all of his books became bestsellers.

      One of Updike’s most successful novels was The Married Couples, which deals with adultery. The author was not shy in terms and described in detail the intimate relationships of the characters, but he did it so intelligently that no one could accuse him of pornography.

      From 1972-1975, John Updike was an Honorary Consultant at the US Library of Congress.

      In 1987, The Witches of Eastwick was made into a feature film, famous for its star-studded cast starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer. This is a semi-mystical, semi-ironic story of three friends who live in a provincial New England town and dream of the perfect man. Their dreams come true in the most unexpected way with the appearance in Eastwick of a gentleman who turns out to be the devil.

      One of the writer’s last novels, The Terrorist, was written after Updike, visiting relatives in New York, witnessed the events of 9/11. In his book, the writer depicted the life of a radical Muslim living in the States.

      Updike wrote tirelessly. He once said that “the miracle of turning hints into ideas, ideas into words, words into lead and ink never gets boring.” In 2009, he was supposed to have one or two more books published, that is, even illness did not distract him from work.

      The writer died of lung cancer in a hospice near his estate in Massachusetts. He was 76 years old.

      More details about the life and work of the American writer John Updike can be found in virtual exhibition-acquaintance John Updike’s One-Storied America.

      90,000 “One-eyed Frank” McGee – Stanley Cup record holder 90,001 90,003 Francis Clarence McGee was born on November 4, 1882 in Ottawa, Canada. His father John held an important position in the government of the country, working as an adviser to the prime minister, and his uncle Thomas was one of the founders of the Canadian Confederation. Thus, the McGee family was very famous and respected, and Frank and his five brothers and three sisters grew up without knowing the need for anything. After graduating from school, Francis continued his education and soon got a job in the State Department of Indian Affairs, but the career of an official attracted him little. The real passion of the young man was professional sports.

      Even in his school years, young McGee made great progress and showed promise as a future athlete. He was not tall and did not have the most powerful physique, but he was very mobile, hardy and had an excellent reaction. An energetic temperament disposed to power sports, so Frank was especially willing to play rugby, hockey and lacrosse – a game borrowed by European colonists from Canadian Indians and somewhat reminiscent of field hockey. Already at the age of 16, McGee showed himself perfectly, becoming the Canadian rugby champion as part of the Ottawa team, but two years later he was injured, which almost put an end to his further sports career. In those days, the protective equipment of hockey players was minimal and the players took to the field even without helmets. Therefore, it often turned out that the athlete left the court not on his own, but on a stretcher. Francis did not pass a similar fate – March 21, 1900, in one of the matches, the opponent, in the heat of the fight, hit him hard with a club in the face and hit him in the left eye. And although the eye itself remained in place, it completely stopped seeing after that, since the optic nerve was damaged. Of course, this sad incident greatly upset McGee, and for some time he even stopped playing as a player and retrained as a sports referee. But he soon realized that even with one eye he was able to see the field perfectly, and, as before, to make accurate shots on goal. Therefore, the young man again began training and by 19In 03, I felt confident enough to take to the ice in big tournaments.

      Francis’ new team was the capital club “Ottawa”, which the fans called the “Silver Seven”. Such a nickname arose due to the habit of the main sponsor of the club, Robert Shillington, to present each of the players at the end of the season as an additional bonus of a silver bar. And the word “seven” appeared in the name because at the very beginning of the 20th century the number of hockey players in the field from each team was seven, and not six, as it is now. In the very first games, McGee proved that he returned to the big sport for good reason. In a meeting with Montreal AAA, he scored two goals at the opponents’ gate, and in the next match against another Montreal club, the Victorians, he scored five goals. At the end of the season, “Ottawa” confidently won the Stanley Cup, and a very large merit in that belonged to the new striker, whom the fans dubbed “One-Eyed Frank”. The tactics of the team also contributed to the success. Even in those days, Canadian hockey was characterized by a tough and uncompromising power struggle on the field, and the capital’s athletes were especially distinguished by this. The comrades knew that McGee very rarely misses the goal and his swift shot is very difficult to parry, but they also knew that Francis was blind in one eye and could not see well what was being done on the left. Therefore, in the game, he was always covered by four tough guys – especially strong players, whose main task was to block opponents with power moves. And if someone from the enemy team tried to prevent the next passage of McGee, then an unenviable fate usually awaited him. In the newspapers of that time, Ottawa’s playing style was written like this: “For them, this style of hockey seems the only one, they prefer to suppress, destroy opponents, and not surpass them in skill and speed … Hitting opponents on the hands and wrists is a hallmark of the Ottawa style.
      Silver Seven from Ottawa. Second from right is Francis McGee.

      Therefore, it often happened that the referee had to stop the match so that someone from the “Silver Seven” once again went to the penalty box, and the medical team had the opportunity to take another victim out of the field. For example, in the match on January 4, 19’04 hockey players, “Ottawa” managed to injure seven of the nine (including coming out on the field substitute) players of the team “Winnipeg Rowing Club”. But the capital’s athletes sometimes got no less, because the rivals played the same hockey.

      In 1904, “Ottawa” again took the Stanley Cup, but the finest hour for Francis McGee came a year later. In the winter of 1905, the Dawson City Nuggets from Yukon competed for the trophy. I must say that the arrival in Ottawa in itself was a feat for these athletes. They had to overcome for this more than six thousand kilometers, and part of the way to do on dog sleds. The Nuggets were considered very strong players, but that season McGee was at the peak of his form and simply did not leave the enemy any chance. In the first match, hockey players from Dawson City lost with a score of 9:2, and in return, “Ottawa” has achieved a fantastic result 23:2, with 14 goals thrown “one-eyed Frank”! It seemed that in the wake of such an outstanding success, the Silver Seven would easily sweep away all competitors in the next season, but everything turned out to be not so simple. In one of the matches, during a power struggle with a defender, McGee broke his right wrist. The final meetings were supposed to take place without him, and as it turned out, the loss of the leading striker greatly reduced the potential of the entire team. In the first game against the “Rat Portage” capital hockey players lost with a score of 3:9, and that’s when Francis announced that he would go to the return match, even despite the incompletely cured injury. And the biggest optimists, not to mention everyone else, had little faith that even such a great striker would be able to fix the situation, but “One-Eyed Frank” could. In the second game, his team won 4:2, and in the third decisive meeting, with a draw, McGee was able to score the winning goal in a matter of seconds before the final whistle. The Stanley Cup once again went to “Ottawa”.

      Such outstanding sports feats, accomplished in just four years, made Francis a real hero in the eyes of thousands of compatriots. But in 1906, he suddenly announced the end of his sports career. The constant training and field trips didn’t go well with McGee’s job at the Department of Indian Affairs. And since “One-Eyed Frank” was well aware that the active life of any athlete in big-time sports does not last so long, he decided to stop performing at the top of his fame. On August 19At the age of 14, the Great War began in Europe, and although Francis could not go to the front with a calm heart, he nevertheless signed up as a volunteer in the 21st battalion of the 43rd Infantry Regiment, and in May 1915 sailed to France. Having the rank of lieutenant and commanding a platoon, he fought in Flanders until in December 1915 he was wounded in the leg by a shell fragment. When McGee recovered, the command offered him to return to his homeland, or at least transfer to some kind of rear unit, but the stubborn Canadian refused and asked to continue serving on the front line in his native regiment. Autumn 19In 1616, the 43rd Infantry Regiment, along with other Canadian and British units, participated in a grand offensive on the Somme. In these battles against the well-organized German defense, the Entente troops suffered heavy losses, achieving only very insignificant successes. One of the victims of the battle was Francis McGee, who died on September 16. He was only a little short of his 34th birthday.

      In the history of sports, “One-Eyed Frank” has remained not only as one of the most famous athletes with disabilities, who performed on a par with completely healthy people, and not only as one of the best forwards ever played for Ottawa. His record set in the Stanley Cup match on January 16, 1905, when McGee scored 14 goals against Dawson City, has not been beaten to this day and is an absolute achievement. And it is very possible that it will never be surpassed by anyone.

      History

      Shillington began operations in 1860 as part of the township of Cumru, when local landowner and namesake Samuel Schilling sold some of his land for residences. There was an inn in the area, built in 1762 and called “Three Mile House” because it was 5 km from Reading on the Lancaster Pike. The inn was a popular stop for farmers heading to the city’s markets, and was later located next to the hippodrome built by Aaron Einstein in 1868. In 1884 a post office was opened in Shillington. 18 August 19’08 the Quarter Court of Session is officially incorporated into the borough of Shillington as a separate municipality from Cumru Township with a population of 450. In the same year Shillington elected its first official, Adam Rollman, as Chief Burgess. City Council meetings were held in various locations over the years until the current City Hall was completed in 1932.

      Most of the current land of the town was occupied by the Angelica farm, which in 1824 was to become an almshouse or almshouse. At 19In 52 the building of the almshouse was replaced by the Berks Heim of the town of Bern. Governor Mifflin School District buildings now occupy most of the grounds. land that was once part of an almshouse.
