Errol Street School Memorial Drinking FountainPrint Page 
The fountain commemorates former students of the Errol Street State School who served in World War One.
The State Commandant, Brigadier General Brand, in unveiling a drinking fountain— erected to commemorate old scholars who served in the war — at the Errol-Street State school, North Melbourne, said a State school was not merely a place for learning the three R-'s and additional subjects, but a training ground where the heart and soul were moulded on the right, loyal and self-sacrificing lines, which had created the British Empire. One of the chief reasons of the success of the A.I.F. was the grand foundation the war had — a sound primary education; orders and instructions were more readily and intelligently obeyed.
