Description
Marjorie Doyle. Reels, Rock and Rosaries: Confessions of a Newfoundland Musician. East Lawrencetown, NS: Pottersfield Press, 2005, ISBN 1-895900-73-5 ON A TINY CORNER near an intersection in the heart of St. John's stands an unimposing monument. It is a solitary bronze figure, barely 3 feet high, of a uniformed young schoolgirl standing absorbed in counting on her fingers. One dark January evening I went for a closer look and found some seasonably sensitive soul had wrapped a black scarf about the statue's neck. "School children have played here for 250 years," the plaque gently begins; then it sketches the history of three nearby church-run girls' schools that served the denser working- and trading-class populations of past decades. Gone now are the intense religious and sectarian divisions; gone are most of the families to the suburbs and beyond, and gone are the schools.
