Nice photo of boys and girls dressed up for class picture Teacher standing at left. Note the wide range of ages…one room schoolhouse?

Photo bit overexposed. While it appears that the sign they are holding is whited-out…under blacklight text appears:

S.S. N-. Wilmot. 
JE Williams Teacher

 

S.S. = Separate School?

Kids are holding two flags: a Union Jack and an 1874 Canadian ensign with a Union Jack in the UL corner, and emblem with the then seven provinces in the LR. It was used from 1874-1892.

There is a rural Wilmot Township near Waterloo Ontario, match(?).
