The top
picture above is of teachers, allegedly, demonstrating about education policy
etc.
They are an
untidy bunch and one placard suggests a naughty word, you at the back there,
giggle with the rest.
The building
behind them is Westminster Cathedral, the Roman Catholic chief place of
devotion in England.
One Catholic
prelate who is buried there is Cardinal William Godfrey, 1889-1963, see
Wikipedia, a man of great learning and wisdom.
One of the other
two pictures is of William as a schoolboy in the Senior Class at the Elementary
School in Liverpool he attended before going on to the seminary.
He is on the
second row up and third from the right, the tallest of the boys on that row. His class teacher, who taught him basic
Latin, is the one standing, the Headmaster is seated.
The other is
the census return of 1901 for William, clearly of humble origins.
What I wonder does this say about the teachers of that period?
