Emma Stark

Emma Stark, daughter of Sylvia and Louis Stark.
When she finished school on Salt Spring Island, Emma went to Nanaimo to live with her father. She attended teacher training and became the first teacher at Cedar, a district just south of Nanaimo. She married James Clarke, December 1878.
She died in 1890 at age 33.

Note:
Emma Stark did study to become qualified to teach, but she did not “attend teacher training” in the sense of enrolling in a specialised course to be trained as a teacher.
In 1874 the teaching staff were almost all untrained teachers - there were 17 men and 15 women - 14 English, 6 Scots, 2 Irish, 2 Americans and 8 Canadians.
Until 1901 only a high school entrance certificate (having first completed a grade 8 education) was the required qualification to teach.
The first Normal School to be established in the Province of British Columbia was opened in Vancouver in January 1901.
