[00:10.57]How long has Mr. Page been teaching? [00:14.97]I have just received a letter from my old school, informing me that my former headmaster, Mr. Stuart Page, will be retiring next week. [00:27.95]Pupils of the school old and new, will be sending him a present to mark the occasion. [00:35.53]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. [00:45.53]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. [00:59.48]A great many former pupils will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour next Thursday. [01:07.40]It is a curious coincidence that the day before his retirement, Mr. Page will have been teaching for a total of forty years. [01:18.66]After he has retired he will devote himself to gardening. [01:24.22]For him, this will be an entirely new hobby. [01:29.06]But this does not matter, for, as he has often remarked, one is never too old to learn.
