RECR WEG 14 JUN OF

In connection with a minute of 25th. March,

1909, in 9303/07, I have the honour to forward & Memorial from

the Acting 2nd. Master, Mr. E. Ralphs, writing on behalf of the

entire Senior and Junior European Staff, and earnestly bag that

it be laid before His Excellency the Governor for his early

information and consideration.

2.

Something closely kin to consternation was

created among the European Members of the Staff, on Saturday las

when they received the news of the proposed transfer of Mr. G.

A. Woodcock to Queen's College as Second Master: made effective,

such a transfer would at once block the promotion of no fawer

than nine Masters.

3.

In

The fact that Mr. Woodcock, both in

experience and reading, has been wholly dissociated from

teaching for the lengthy period of over nine years, is a very

powerful and essential argument against his transfer here.

that lapse of time, he cannot but have lost complete profession-

-al touch with educational work in its many varied phases: and,

at his age, it would be difficult, indeed little short of im-

-possible for him to regain that necessary sympathy with, and

that equally necessary insight into schoolboy character which

are vital concomitants of sound teaching, which are acquired

only by continuous actual contact with school-life, and which

are, unhappily, so rapidly and so easily lost through long

interruption
