Foreign</title></head><body>
<div><font face="Times New Roman">Hello lists members of Korean
Studies,<br>
<br>
I always learn a lot from this list. I really appreciate
that.<br>
<br>
I wonder if anyone could help me out with the following
question. <br>
<br>
I am trying to get some information on English teachers, who taught in
the Foreign Language School (founded in 1886 as<i> Yuk-yeong
Gong-weon</i>); W. du F. Hutchinson, T. E. Hallifax, and A. B.
Turner. Hutchinson was the headmaster of<i> Gwanrip Yeong-eo
Hakgyo</i> [The Public English School] and the other two were English
teachers in the school. I am also aware of that they were from
Britain - I learnt it from some history books on Korean education.
They coordinated the first athletic meeting in Korea in 1896.
These are all I know about them.<br>
<br>
Is there anyone who could guide me to find clues about them more
details and correct me if I am wrong with above information? Or
would you introduce me someone who is expert in this? I am
deadly curious about where were they born and educated? When did
they come to Korea and what did they do after the school was
abolished?<br>
<br>
I have been searching for these three persons in biographical
references such as "Who's Who?", "British National
Biography", "Current Biography" and so forth,
however, it hasn't been successful yet.<br>
<br>
Hope some of you could help.</font></div>
