received a Military Medal awarded
his son,,,.. Pte. W.A. Jewitt, for
bravery on the field. Accompanying
the medal was a letter from the
Adjutant -General expressing regret

the *coition he so bravely won."
Change at school - Quite unex-
pectedly there has been a change in
the Lucknow School staff. Principal
Elliott, after going to London on
Saturday, November 20, failed to
return on Monday, and he has not
yet put in his appearance. There
appears to be some mystery about
Mr. Elliott's student leaving, and it
is evident that he does not intend to
resume his duties here.

taking Miss McLean's wank, and
