1884, and a school building was erected on the southeast corner of

Cameron. It closed in July 1960 and the remaining students went to
Hartney Consolidated School No. 2389. The school building is no longer
on the site but it is commemorated by a monument erected in 1989.

The Barber School District was established formally in September 1885,
and a one-room frame school building was erected on land owned by
William Barber (p68Parkinson)) purchased from John Underhill, on
the northeast corner of 33-5-22 west of the Principal Meridian, in the
Rural Municipality of Cameron. With the arrival in the area of the
Canadian National Railway in 1898, and the subsequent founding of the
village of Underhill, the school was moved to this site.
The original building was replaced in 1928 and it served as the social
centre of the community. It closed in late 1961 and the district was
dissolved in January 1962. The remaining students went to Hartney
Consolidated School No. 2389 or Elgin Consolidated School No. 153. The
building was sold and moved to Souris where it was converted into a
church.
A commemorative cairn on the former school site was unveiled on 30 June
1991.
