Mr. Arthur Worsop, the Headmaster of the Waitotara Public School, was born in Yorkshire, England, and received his education at one of the London schools, finishing at Oberstein, in Germany. He came to the colonies per ship “Achilles,” in 1870, and took up his abode in Otago, where he was engaged in teaching in Dunedin and other parts of the province for a period of eighteen years. Prior to coming to the North Island, Mr. Worsop had charge of the public school at Naseby, a school with a roll number of 200 children, and after holding this position for eight years, he was obliged to resign on account of his health, which had become very delicate.
