A collection of short stories, biographies, and addresses given by J. Howard Whitehouse, Warden of Bembridge School on the Isle of Wight. According to Wikipedia "John Howard Whitehouse (1873-1955) was the founder and first Warden of Bembridge School on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom, and a Member of Parliament. Whitehouse, throughout his career in politics and later at Bembridge, was an intense believer in the right of the individual to shape his own life and a bitter opponent of any form of bureaucratic control. He served as Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lloyd George, and pursued his interest in education, serving on a number of committees dealing with child labor, child wages, and reformatory work. Shortly before the Great War broke out Whitehouse was introduced to Edward Daws, who showed him the Isle of Wight. He was so taken with the place that he bought a field and a house known as The Old School House. This was to form the nucleus of Bembridge School a few years later." This copy is signed by the author on the front-facing end paper (see images) otherwise, there are no annotations or highlights throughout. A rare copy, not many are available online.
