Biographies

JOHNSON, EDWIN (1835-1894), schoolteacher and civil servant, was born on 2 January 1835 at Liverpool, England, son of Samuel Johnson and his wife Elizabeth, née Crabtree. Educated at the Liverpool Quakers School, he was apprenticed at 14 as a pupil-teacher. About 1853 he won a Queen's scholarship to Kneller Hall, Twickenham Training College, under Rev. Dr Frederick Temple, later archbishop of Canterbury, who recommended him for employment by the New South Wales Board of National Education in 1854. Johnson reached Sydney in 1855 and was appointed assistant master at the William Street National School. In 1857 he married Rebecca, née Hanly. In that year he also brilliantly passed the teacher-classification examination and as a result was invited by William Wilkins to lecture on elementary mechanics at the Fort Street Model School. Johnson became headmaster of a new model school at Deniliquin in 1861 and inspector of schools in the Hunter River district in 1863.
