The part pi-ayed by the educational leaders of Swan River Valley in the development of education, 1n organizing the school system, and. in providiag educational facll-ities has been considerable" Lfany of these leaders played their role dr.rrJ.ng the earl¡r years of the twentieth century while other,s offerecl leadership for a quarter of a century or more, Slnce the first school dÍstr"ict 1n Srqran Rjver Va'l-1-ey was organized, flve school i-nspectors and" one acting school inspeetor have provided educatlonal leadership for varying periods of time. Three second.arv school principals served i"n the va11,ey for a tota1 of almost ser¡enty -r'ears and a number of elementary teachers had long periods of tenure. Á,11 contribu.ted tn the devel- opment of educati.on in Swan River Valley" Many teachers ancl prlncipal-s iryho served in Sr,¡ian River Valley for a time he.ve since contributed lmportant educetl.onal leadershlp elsev¡here in the Province of Manitoba. Several- principa-ls became inspectors of schools or joined uníversity staffs, Others beeame princl-pa1s of sehools in la.rge towns or citi-es. The educational lea.C"ershlp provid.ed in S''¡ran River Valley has not been confined lnrholl-y" to inspectors of schools and to members of the teaching staff.

I found the.work of orga.niza.tion excãedingly difficrilt owing to conflicting interests resultlnþ from the nature of the country. The settl-ers are an fntelligentu progressi-ve class of people and, exceed- in$y anxious to get schools in operation" There rryere two schools open at the time of my vl_sit.
