The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 75

A Charitable Appeal

A Charitable Appeal.

About three years ago the head-teacher of the Waikoikoi School had to apply for leave of absence on account of mental troubles brought on by overwork. After a lengthened holiday, spent for the most part in Australia, he recovered sufficiently to take up his work again; but in a short time it became necessary for him to retire from the service, and he has since then been quite incapacitated from work of any kind. His helplessness and misfortune have been further increased by the recent loss of his wife, who had been for some time in ill-health. Seven young children are left practically without parents. The savings of years have been more than absorbed in household and medical expenses; and, though some of the children are permanently placed, and the rest at present cared for by friends had relatives, a few pounds will be of extreme service in relieving pressure and in providing for immediate necessities. Subscriptions, sent in the way most convenient to givers, will be received and acknowledged, either by J. Jeffery, Anderson's Bay School, or W. Eudey, Kensington School.
