Q. Have you any memories – anything about the old Log Books?
A. No I can’t remember anything except what I have told you1.
Do you mean can I remember the contents?
Q. Yes, can you?
A. Various bits would stick in my mind, I’m afraid I can’t
remember anything else.
Q. What about children and staff, can you remember anything
about that?
A. There was a black line in the log around the entry of the
death of the Rev. Lambarde, as a matter of fact Mr. Meyers and
the Rector got on very well indeed, and he was rather distressed
when he died. |

Q. When you left the school was it still in
there? (The Log Book).
A. Oh yes. Certainly it would be.
Q. Miss Davies might know where it went?
A. Oh she might, but Miss Davies didn’t come immediately after
me there was a supply – Miss Hodges.
Q. You mentioned in one of your letters that you used to come up
to Ash before you were head. Were you actually teaching here?
A. I was teaching as a supply – unattached they call it –
for the K.E.C. I was down at Longfield and I lost my dog. Of
course I scoured all the villages around to try and find the
dog. I arrived at Ash school and knocked at the door. Mr. Meyers
opened it and I enquired. What a crowded school. I should think
he had about 90 children. |
