Training
Dyer's application was accepted by the Newfoundland School Society (N.S.S.) and he entered into Westminster Central School for training in 1838. The Westminster Central School was set up to train teachers for England and Wales, but eventually contributed greatly to the training of teachers for other countries and colonies of Britain. The school was created for the elementary education of the 'humble poor'. The training was for masters and mistresses who wished to teach in schools that were created for children of the 'labouring classes'. Dyer encountered some difficulties during his training to become a teacher for educating the poor; however, by March 1839, after about four months, he had successfully completed his training as a N.S.S. teacher.
