The Diocesan Boys' School, Kowloon.

The vacancy created at the Diocesan School, Kowloon, by the retirement, this winter, of the Rev. W.T. Featherstone from the Headmastership, has now been filled by the appointment of Mr. C.B.R. Sargent, Sixth Form Physics Master at Wellington College, in Berkshire. Mr. Sargent, (who is a son of the Rev. D.H.G. Sargent, vicar of St. Luke's, Redcliffe Square), educated at St. Paul's School, entered St. Catharine's College, Cambridge, as a Science Scholar in 1925, and obtained a First Class in Part 1 of the Natural Science Tripos in 1927, and a Second Class in Part II (Physics) in 1928. In addition to his Science work at Wellington College, Mr. Sargent has been assistant Scout master of the second Scout Troop, President and Founder of the Newtonian Society, and Toc H correspondent. He will take up his duties at Kowloon next June. As he is now only 25 years old, it is believed that his appointment may break the record recently set up by the recent appointment of yet another Wellington master, Mr. H.B. Jacks, to the headmastership of Willaston School, Cheshire.
The Diocesan School was founded in Hong Kong in 1869, and since 1924 has occupied an excellent site and fine new buildings on the mainland opposite, at Kowloon. There are some three hundred boys in the School, of whom many are boarders. The Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong, is Chairman to the Governing Body, which includes many leading men of the district, both British and Chinese.
