Goodbye, Mr Chips NEW
Mr. Chipping, known affectionatoly as "Chips" to the boys and Master of Brookfield School, has been ordered by the doctor to stay at home because of a Fold the first time he had missed the first Evening Assembly of a new school in 58 years. Chipa disobeys, but finds himself locked out with a new boy, son of the Duke of Dorset. When Assembly is out the older boys gather affectionately about him. A now master, Jackson, escorts Chips back to his lodging where, seated before the hearth, Chips, now 83, ces himself as a new master coming to Brookfield 58 years earlier, THE Brookfield Special waited at the Victoria
Station, London,for its load of boys returning, or going for the first time, to that old institution of learning. Newsboys were shouting headlines from the late newspapers: "Special edition-French de- feated at Sedan! Special Emperor surrenders!
Special!" Empress in flight!
Amid bustling porters, boys saying goodbye to relatives, stumbling over their bags, a harassed young schoolmaster, Bingham of Brookfield, was sorting the pupils into their seats in the train when a young, diffident man approached him.
"Are you Mr. Bingham?" he asked. "Yes,"
"I'm Chipping, the new master. assistance?"
Can I be of any
"Not now-just finishing. Martin! Where's Martin!" Clipping yelled for Martin and that was all that he did to help Binghani. He was ill at case, uncertain of him- self-going to his first school as a master where he hoped to make a name for himself.
AMONG the
new boys was
ono young fel-
low who, finding himself alone among a lot of
strange boys, leaving home for the first time, aut looking out of the window trying hard to keep from crying. Chipping knew
just how he felt for he was feeling much the same himself. He lowered his newspaper and smiled. "Cheer up," he said with a faint smile.
That diffident encouragement was too much for the boy, and after a final struggle he burst into a dood of tears." Chips, appalled at the result of his attempt to
cheer the youngster, continued: "I'm new, too. It's not easy to begin with."
The boy flung himself into the corner of the seat and gave vent to a now burat of tearful grief. Chipping made an uncertals és ture towards the boy, and became conscious of a sudden ellence among the other boys, and looked *furtively about.
"What did he do, Colley? Slap him?" asked a youthful volee.
"Kicked him, most likely," was the reply.
The new master withdrew be hind his newspaper.
Arrived at Brookfield, Bingham accompanied Chipping to his quar- ters.
