Biographical history

Stephen V. James (1868-?), school supervisor, and teacher, was born at Brigus in June 1868, son of Sarah and Patrick James, a planter. James and his wife, Bridget, had one son, Stephen, who was born in 1897.

James received his teacher's training at St. Bonaventure's Normal School (December 1887-July 1890), taught at St. Jacques (1890-1892), then returned to teach at the Brigus (Boys) School. In 1903, James served as Council of Higher Education (CHE) supervisor for Brigus.
