The Laidlaw Memorial School and Junior College, Ketti
The Laidlaw Memorial School of St. George's Homes, Ketti is an English-medium school in Ketti, Tamil Nadu, India. It was established in 1914 in Kodaikanal and moved to Ketti in 1922. The Laidlaw Memorial School and Junior College was founded in 1914 by the late Rev. John Breeden to provide a home and sound liberal and general education, based on Christian principles, for children of the Protestant European and Anglo-Indian communities. It was generously endowed by the late Sir Robert Laidlaw. The school is run on the lines of a Public School and provides a comprehensive, liberal education in English, for children of all communities. The emphasis is on a sound general education, on self-discipline and self-reliance. In view of the fact that a great many of the children in the school must perforce be separated from their parents for many months each year, every effort is made to give them a pleasant, comfortable and affectionate scholastic environment.
Without departing from the original aims of the school, its constitution was amended in 1953, so as to admit to its portals children of all communities, from all parts of the country and indeed, of the world, as boarders paying full fees. Though the institution is essentially residential and co-educational, it also takes in a limited number of day-scholars. Religious observances and instruction are in accordance with Protestant Christian tenets. However, there is provision for Roman Catholic worship, and exemption from worship and religious instruction for those desiring it (except for the Morning Assembly and School functions). Moral, as distinct from religious, instruction is compulsory.
==Foundation==
In 1910, the Rev. J. Breeden, a missionary worker, first thought of the establishment of a home for orphan and destitute Anglo-Indian children in South India. It was in October 1910 that the Rev. Breeden addressed the Madras Missionary Conference and, at the meeting, the first appeal for the establishment of St. Georges Homes was made by him. A committee of influential citizens was formed with the Rev. Breeden at its head, in order to raise the necessary funds for the establishment of the homes. The committee unanimously voted that the most suitable location for was in the neighborhood of Kodaikanal in the Pulney Hills. On February 10, 1911 the government offered a site of some in Kodaikanal, about from the town.
On March 16, 1911, H. E. Sir Arthur Lawley, governor of Madras, became the first president of the homes. Throughout 1912, appeals for funds were made in India and in the United Kingdom. In November 1913 the Lancashire Committee was formed to collect funds for the maintenance of the Homes. (This committee functioned magnificently for the benefit of the homes until 1947.) In December 1913, Sir Robert Laidlaw offered a proportion of the cost of building a central school on condition of a building grant from the government. In January 1914, H. E. Lord Pentland, governor of Madras, became the president of the homes. On May 1, 1914, Glengyle, the first cottage for boys, was rented in Kodaikanal about from the main site. On May 18, 1914 the first "workers" from England arrived, and on May 23, 1914, the first two boys — Dick and Tommy Osborne — were admitted
