Ainsworth School Completed

The jewel was set in the Ainsworth crown. It just needed a little polishing.

From the Hobart Gazette of August 6, 1920.

"Hahn" is a misprint.

The statement about "high school work" may cast some light on the timing of the petition we've seen before. If true, then perhaps it was at some point during the planning and building of this school (1918-1920) that the petition was circulated — in which case I was wrong in saying it was unsuccessful. I don't recognize any name on the petition that would make that timing impossible. I don't recall seeing anything in the papers about a petition being circulated, but then Ainsworth news was so neglected!

One thing I can say is that the potential for a second story on the building was never realized until a few years ago, long after it had ceased to be a school.

As for The Unpardonable Sin, apparently it was war propaganda produced in 1919, after the war was over.
