Prince Arthur's Landing Public School was an early school at Prince Arthur's Landing (later Port Arthur), in the Thunder Bay District of Ontario. Its earliest known register survives in the 1873 diary and notebook of Reverend Donald McKeracher, the Presbyterian minister at the Landing, which records the pupils enrolled as of 7 July 1873 together with their teachers.[1]
The diary also notes an old photograph of the pupils and teachers of the school, with Mr. Wright as principal and Isabella Dobie among the pupils.[1]
