Dear Sir,
I venture to introduce myself first as a close friend of
Mr. Arthur Kayhew, with whom I spent five years on the staff at
Eton, before coming here, and also as the educational commissary to
the Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong. It is on his behalf that I
have recently been negotiating, with Canon Davies, for the appointment
of a new headmaster of the Diocesan Boys' School at Kowloon, who
will be asked to take over the school at a very difficult period in
its existence. We have, however, secured an exceptionally able
man in Mr. Sargent, of Wellington College. I enclose a statement
about him, setting forth the details of his career. Mr. Sargent is
fully aware that the Diocesan School at Kowloon is going through a
financial crisis, but from all he has heard of the School, he is
quite prepared to burn his boats' at Wellington, and is going out to
Hong Kong in the hope that the School will weather the present storm,
and continue its useful work as an educational centre for the
No comments yet.
