HEADMASTER RETIRES
FORTY YEARS' SERVICE

Mr. Newlands began teaching in England, and came to New Zealand in 1907, when he was headmaster for brief periods at schools in the Otago district.

At a farewell function held at the Vauxhall School, where he has been headmaster since 1935, Mr. Newlands was presented by the pupils with a bcwler's bag, and at a gathering in the evening of members of the staff and the school committee a presentation was made of an easy chair, a smoker's stand and an envelope of banknotes.
