Lent School room to Mr Daynes, photographer of Rugby, for Magic Lantern lecture – and mystery of decapitated head: a wonderfully simple affair. Frank and some other boys had their heads decapitated two or three times.

Mr Knight, a farm pupil of Mr Richard Lamb called and asked me for a subscription towards funds of “Society for obtaining closing of public houses on Sundays” – I did not give him one.
