title	A Little Learning: Early Education on Prince Edward Island
creator	Morrow, Diane
subject	Island Magazine
subject	Prince Edward Island Museum
description	The first settlers of Prince Edward Island were much too concerned with mere survival to worry about setting up a public school system for their children. Not that education was deemed unimportant, but for many years it was a luxury that the struggling colony could little afford. The well-to-do generally sent their children abroad to be educated. Other parents who had the skills no doubt passed on the fundamentals of reading, writing and arithmetic to their offspring, if and when they had time. Nevertheless, it was not surprising to see respected members of a community sign their names by making an "X."
