[00:00.49]I have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, Mr. Stuart Page, will be retiring next week.
[00:12.36]Pupils of the school, old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion.
[00:19.32]All those who have contributed towards the gift will sign their names in a large album which will be sent to the headmaster's home.
[00:28.27]We shall all remember Mr. Page for his patience and understanding and for the kindly encouragement he gave us when we went so unwillingly to school.
[00:39.85]A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next Thursday.
[00:46.46]It is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, Mr. Page will have been teaching for a total of forty years.
[00:56.72]After he has retired, he will devote himself to gardening.
[01:01.48]For him, this will be an entirely new hobby.
[01:05.74]But this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.
