SYNOPSIS as Chipping, the Latin master at Brookfield School, was called by his pupils since his mar- riage to a yourig and beautiful girl "Chips" after _20 years of bachelorhood under his wife's understanding tutelage, conquered his pupils' an. tipathy and become friends with them. He and his wife gave Sun- day teas for themi he cracked jokes in class, and could take one on himself. On April Fool's Day, his class prepared a joke that was really meaningless knowing he _would appreciate #f, but in the 'midst of "their shouts of "April | Fool? a late comer arrived and whispered that Chips' wife and her_ new-born baby were Loth dead. CH APTE Rr X Chips Refuses To Retire Twenty vears passed. Queen Vietovia had died and a King sat ow the throne of kngland, Bleriot "hid spanned the Channel in a con- traption. that flew. Chips, his hair now, gray, his face lined. with wrinkles, did not appear. to be an old man, perhaps because of the huntorously redoubtable leok in his eyes. He had become a bit of an eccentric, a personality, almost a legend "of Brookfield School. It was autunm call-over in the Quadrangle at Brookfield. The boys as. they walked past Chips called their names. The last, a husky lad of 13, omitted to identi- fy. himself. "You, boy!" said Chips sharply. "Haven't you got a name?" "Yes, sir," replied the youth; . "What is it?" Is it a secret?" "Morgan, sir rel: Morgan." "A Morgan, eh? [© might have known. Trousers too tight. Mor- gans- always grow out of their trousers." While the boy stared in embarrassed surprise Chips tucked up his gown briskly and ""tuined away abruptly, all but col- liding with a fall prefect who told him that the headmaster wished to see him. A Pair Of Fighters © As he walked briskly toward the Headmaster's house, he heard the _ crash of a bicycle falling in the street, execiations in boyish voi- ces. Avound the 'corner he came upon a Brookfield boy and ; a ""Tow- nee", a greengrocer's delivery boy, for .vavious vegetables were scattered about the fellen bicycle, The youth's nose was bleeding. He fist and socked the school boy in the eye. "Oh, you beast! I'll kill you for that!" cried the infuriated. Brook- fieldian, and lunged at the de- livery- boy's jaw. Chips grabbed * them both by their coat vollars and wrenched them apart. "A disgraceful ex- hibition!" = He addressed the youngster in- Brookfield. garb, "Did-- no onc ever tall you to keep your hands vp? 1 wonder both your eyes aren't, closed! Neiv, aren't youl "Yes, sit," parted the boy, still exchanging Phi looks with his recent antagonist. "You're n Colley, aren't you?" "Yes, sii" Y "That's a familiar name at _ Brookfield." "Yes, sir. My grandfather's Sir John Colley, chairman of the School Governors." "He was a scrapper, too! Caned - Jim more than once for. it.

"I gather, Perkins, you- are, in the retail vegetable trade. Do your dutiés include brawling in the street?" "OF called me a Town Cheese," said Perkins hotly, : "Well, he said I was a stuck-up snob," said Colley. "A Town Cheese! That was ill- mannered of you, Colley. The fact that you wear a school hat and what passes for a clean collar doesn't entitle you to sneer at hard-woyking fellows like Perkins, And. you, Perkins, just because Master Colley may happen. to have a nodding acquaintance with some of the simpler Latin verbs, does not necessarily imply he's short on --er--intestinal fortitude, Come now, shake hands. No more of this nonsense! Come, shake!" The boys did so, rather sheepishly. "If you've managed to kneck any sense into cach other, then the af- ternoon hasn't been wasted." Like To Retire? {alston, the Headmaster, played nervously with a paper knife as Chipping took the chair he indi- cated. Then he plunged into the matter in hand. "Mr. Chipping, have you ever thought you would like to retire?" Chips looked at him, astonished. "No, I've never thought aboyt it." "Well, the suggestions. there for you to consider. I'm-sure the governors" will be prepared to grant you an adequate pension." 'But,[ don't want to retire. | t--er--need to consider it," "In that case things are going do "te be a little difficult." "Difficult? Why difficult?" "Do you want me to be quite blunt about it? . .. You teaching 1mcthods are old-fashioned, your personal habits ave slovenly, and you ignore my instructions in a way that in a younger wan 1 should regard as rank insubordi- natien." "Siovenly Chips, he uns, Jey are weaving, | happen to know that it's a subjéct of amusement -to the: whole school. A fo ago you say?" asked {dered by the outburst. I told you I wanted. the 1jew style of Latin pronunciation. aught-- "and you totally ignored if." : "Oh, that! Nonsenfe in my opinion? What's the good of teach- for the rest of their lives they'll 'Cicero'? Instead of 'vicis- sum' you'd make them say 'we kiss--'em{" Chips emitted a deep chuckle. "There you are! You hold -one opinion and I another. But 1 hap- pen to be! Headmaster here. I'm trying to make Brookficld an up- 00k at that gown you i __ing the boys to say 'Iikero' when to-date school and you insist on. clinging 'to the past. The world is changing. Parents tcday expect something more for their <chool fees than a few seraps of a dead language." _ "I know the world's changing, Mr. Ralston. I've seen the old tra: ditions dying, one by one--grace and dignity and feeling for the past, All that matters here today is a fat banking account. You're trying to run the school like a factory -- for turning out money. made, machine-made s n o b s, You've raised the fees and in the end the boys who really belong ' to Brookfield will be frozen 'dut, Modern 'methods! Intensive trains ing! Poppycock! Give a boy a sense of humor and he'll stand up to anything, I'm not going to re sign and you can do what you: like about it!' Chips whisked his tattered gown about him and strode from Ralston's study with a determin: ed flourish," A boy outside Headmasters of- fice had overheard enough of the talk between Ralston and Chips to understand what 'wes in the' wind. He ran breathlessly to fel low pupils, "The Head told" Chips he's got to resign ----- and Chips said he wouldn't." © "I should think not! Chips has been here hundreds of 'years. He used to cane my Tather!: p "voices. . But his voice fajled and he scowl- . of affection steadied the old Mas- 'to be able to perstade the Head -onel Morgan. Current Songs "If Chips weat the wholes school 'ud fall down," was the opinion of a third boy." "Get rid of Chips!' cried an- other, "He'd just better try! If he says another word to Chips, I'll" kill him!" In the ante-room of Sir John Colley's office several important looking people 'waited ithpatient-- ly to be admitted; but an attend-. "ant said something important had arisen to demand Sir John's at- « tention, In his private office, Sir John his face purple, sirody angrily about, while a man seated by his desk, watched him in' agitation. "Impossible! Ralston must be mad! Raving mad!" Sir Jchn stopped to ring furiously for his secretary, "Get My, Martin at once! .... I'll resgin, Henderson, before I stand for this!" "Exactly what L sajd!" o observed Henderson, "The man's out of his mind!" "Can you imagine Brookfield without Chips? Why, hang it, Jim, he's fthreshed us both for' stealing cherries!" He stopped for a brigt colloquy on' the telephone. "Mariin's boy hoyrd the whole row, Jim. Martin's wired to mor- gan at Aldershot! We'll call a meeting of the Board of Govern ors. I'll wire Grantley and How- son. By Gad, I'll call on the For- eign Secretary! [FKorrester's a Brookfield boy!" "Stay Till You're. A Hundred" The Governors held a council and went to Brookfield, Gathered about the long table in the Mas. ter's commen room, they all fac: ed CHips, seated at one end. Sir John Colley expressed the senti- ment of all of the Board: "The Governors don't want you to resign, Chips. Brookfield wouldn't be the same without you ----and they know it! You can stay here -until you're a hundred if you feel like it--and we hope you will!" "Hear! Hear!" cried several "Certainly!" said Colonel, Mor gan. "We're all agreed." Chips got to his feet, his face barely under control, is veice fal- tering. "Sir John -- gentlemen " " ed to hide his emstion. "It's good of you, John -- gpod of all of you --- to take this trouble for an old man." "Sir John placed a hand on Chips's arm, and that gesture ter. of your confidence I "But before I avail myself should like that in these times Brookfield has need of both of us." = "Thal's very. generous of, you, Chips," "said the Foreign Secrel- ary.
