In venturing to submit to your kind consideration my few particulars concerning education & experience, I do so in the hope that they may not prove too tedious and that they may be the means of assisting my promotion in Her Majesty's Service?

I am 30 years of age and began my scholastic duties at Holy Trinity School, Chester, where I was apprenticed as "a Pupil Teacher" for the then usual period of 5 years. In 1878, having completed that term and being about to enter the Training College, Chester, the Revd Mr. Marston, Rector of Holy Trinity, presented me, in the presence of many well-wishers, with a purse of money as a mark of his appreciation and kind regard. During my term of study in the College (1879-80), I had the honour of distinguishing myself in Mathematics & Classics, and on leaving obtained a First Class Certificate, as well as Advanced Certificates for various sciences. From 1881-84, I held an appointment as first Assistant master in St Peter's Schools, Birkenhead, where, I believe, I gave every satisfaction. On September 1884, having applied to the Crown Agents for abroad, I was offered one in the Anglo-Chinese College at Malacca,

but the appointment was not accepted due to the remuneration.

The Rt. Honble. Lord Knutsford, G.C.M.G.

Secretary of State for the Colonies.
