G+.** "During Stanley Harris’s headship [of Saint Ronan's School] the school steadily grew in both numbers and reputation and he was hailed as one of the most remarkable headmasters of the age. He was a member of the Council of the Association of Preparatory Schools, later becoming its chairman. Stanley Harris endured, like so many headmasters across the country, the pain and loses of the Great War (a quarter of the 130 Saint Ronan’s boys that served were killed) but celebrated the bravery shown (7 DSOs and 10 MCs). Letter from WB Harris to his brother. In August 1923, he wrote a small book called ‘The Master & his Boys’ which he dedicated to a ‘Johnnie’ Delap who was killed at the Somme. It details his educational philosophy and, as such, became a ‘bible’ to many in the profession at the time and went to a fourth edition." (saintronans).
