important area in which it stands.

I may say that Ir. Sargent is

not only throwing up a valuable post as Sixth Form Physics master

at a leading Fublic School; he has also just refused a House

mastership at Wellington, in order to be free to go to Hong Kong.

I mention these points because I believe that an appeal is now before

the Colonial Office for relief from the Government debt on the

buildings. Obviously the future of the School will be vitally

affected by the decision taken by the Government over here, with

regard to this appeal. I do not know when that decision will

finally be made, but in case the matter is coming up for settlement

this week, I felt I ought to let you know about Mr. Sargent's

appointment, which was only made finaly yesterday.

Canon Davies,

who was, I believe, responsible for the forwarding of the appeal to

the Colonial Office, as Hon. Secretary of the Advisory Council of

Christian Education Overseas, is away from London till next Monday.

I understand that Mr. Mayhew has given your name to someone at the

Advisory Council as being kindly willing to keep them in touch with

the matter. I thought, therefore, that in case the matter was

urgent, I should let you know at once how the position stands with

regard to the Headmastership of the School. If no decision is to

be taken until after Monday, doubtless Canon Davies (to whom I am

sending a copy of this letter) will write himself, on his return to

the office.

Yours very truly,

(Rev.) Ruy Howard-
