HEADMASTER'S VIEWS.
" 1 AM OLD FASHIONED." At a welcome to himself and his wife at Christ's College. Christ/church. this week, Mr. R. J. O. Richards, tie newlyappointed headmaster, remarked that it had l>een said of him at various times that he had not a scrap of romance in bis constitution- This was untrue. There had been plenty of romance in his life, but perhaps nothing so " straight out of the story book " as his return, after many years, to his old school as headmaster, and tie retnrn of his wife to the very house where she lived for two years as a young girl. His hearers, said Mr. Richards, might be wondering as to his ideas on education. " lo put it shortly, said Mr. Richards. " I am old-fashioned. I have had to 'Jive laborious days' all my life, and I think at this stage, of the world's development it would be fatal tc bring up boys in any other way.
