The Midland District School Society was established for "the educational and moral improvement of the poor." An Act to incorporate the Midland District School Society of Kingston was passed March 14, 1815. The first members of the Society were Cartwright, Herchmer, Geddes, Markland, Smith, Bartlett, and Reverend George O'Kill Stuart. Later members included R.D. Cartwright, John Machar, the Honourable John Kirby, Thomas Markland, Benjamin Alcott, George Smith, William Stoughton, Alexander Pringle, and Stephen Miles. The Society received some aid from the government and some from an English society established to promote the education of the poor in Canada. Other money was raised by subscription. The first school opened in 1818 and was organized as aa Lancastrian school. After free schools were established there was no longer any need for the Society's schools. In 1882 the Society surrendered its powers of establishing schools to the Public School Board. In 1884 it sold its schools and from that time on gave grants to organizations devoted to the welfare of poor children.
