New Headmaster
Mr. P. R. Le Couteur, M.A., the recently appointed headmaster of Newington College Boys’ School, Stanmore, N.S.W., is a native of Victoria.
From Melbourne University he was awarded the Rhodes Scholarship in 1908, and the same year proceeded to Oxford. From that seat of learning he went to Bonn University, Ger many, to study under the leaders of the new investigations in the psychology of thinking.
He is a Master of Arts of both Melbourne and Oxford, and in 1931 was appointed from
44 candidates to take charge of the Depart ment of Mental and Moral Philosophy in the University of Western Australia. Subsequently he assumed charge of Hale College, Western Australia, from which, after three years, he has come to take over the headmastership of Newington.
Mr. Le Couteur is not only brilliantly equipped on the academic side, but his accom plishments in the realm of sport fit him peculiarly to take charge of a boys’ college.
It is safe to say, therefore, that the high traditions which have been built up by Newington in the 68 years since it was estab lished, will be well safeguarded by the new head.
Many youths come from the Pacific Islands to this famous school.
