A. R. Mowbray & Co, London, 1913, preface by H. Rider Haggard, illustrated, 130 x 190mm, condition; very good.

St. Etheldreda’s Church of England School at Pretoria, was founded by Bishop Bousfield, the first Bishop of Pretoria, in 1879. Formal education for girls was not considered important in the 1880's but the school got its start with the Bishop’s six young daughters as the first students. After the war of 1899–1902, the Community of St Mary the Virgin from Wantage (England) took over and St. Etheldreda’s kept afloat on the storm-tossed seas of nationalistic and educational turbulence, eventually becoming known as 'St Mary’s Diocesan School for Girls' or 'DSG.' .
