Being a man of wide interests and enthusiasms he is able to bring to bear on his teaching a well-informed mind to which the children readily respone. He has established a garden and poultry on-it here, run entirely on a volutary basis, which has given the children a valuable experience. Mr. Brown is a man who has taught his children by example, to be reliable, courteous and punctual. i value his services very hightly and am sorry to lose a colleague who has worked so loyally for the school.
