1901 Narre Warren North
Apparently some private teaching was done early in the Narre Warren area, first by Miss Robinson and Doctor Stephenson. Then Allen conducted a school in a church hall built on his property, ?Rock Allen?. This school transferred to the Wesleyan Chapel where J.R. Frost and then W. Waite were the teachers. The number of Narre Warren North indicates that it opened in 1877. When the railway line came through a centre of population built up at Narre Warren railway station some 4 miles S, so in 1925 the name of the school was changed to Narre Warren North. Early Hts at the school were; William Henry Wooster (1877-79), Alfred A. Lewis (1880-85).

If cream of tartar is beaten well into dripping before making cakes, it will disguise the fatty taste altogether. Beat the cream of tartar .and fat together before adding the sugar. The rind of crackling of pork often cannot be eaten on account of its becoming hard in the roasting. To prevent' this, rub over with a little salad oil before putting in the oven. This will make it soft and digestible.

1881 What is chorioamnionitis?

Chorioamnionitis is an infection of the membranes (placental tissues) and amniotic fluid. It occurs in about 1 to 2 percent of all pregnancies, but is much more common in preterm births. Chorioamnionitis can cause bacteremia (blood infection) i n the mother and may lead to preterm birth and serious infection in the newborn baby. Other terms for chorioamnionitis include intra-amniotic infection and amnionitis.

The organisms usually responsible for chorioamnionitis are those that are normally present in the vagina, including Escherichia coli (E. coli). Group B streptococcus may also cause the infection. Chorioamnionitis can develop when the membranes ( amniotic sac) are ruptured (broken) for an extended period. This allows the vaginal organisms to move upward into the uterus.

1882 Whats in a name:-
Prior to the 20th century there was no importance placed on formal spelling and as a result quite often it depended on who was doing the writing, and where they came from, as to how things were spelt. If the speaker had a broad accent or was ill iterate and could not check what was written, these things quite often meant a person could be known by many different spellings of their name over their lifetime.

For example in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands there is Wrightwick or Wightwick Manor and Leicestershire has the town of Whitwick all these names are pronounced WITTICK.

Over Walters & Johns lifetime their surnames were spelt:-
Wrightwick,

Whittick,
