Mr. Allen Martin, the founder of the
Port Adelaide State School, who on!y left
that school to take up the office of school
inspector, from which he retired in 1915,
died at his residence, Military-road. Sema-
phore, on Sunday morning. Most of the
citizens at Port Adelaide gained their
education under him, either at the Port
Adelaide State School, or, as it was known
before the Government took it over,
Martin's Grammar School. Mr. Martin,
who was born at Bosham, near Chichester,
in Sussex, in 1844, was a son of Mr. John
Martin, a master mariner engaged in the
English coastal trade. He received his
preliminary education at a local church
school, after which he entered the upper
grade of the Royal Naval Schools, Green
wich. He continued at the school until
he became a pupil teacher, and finally ob-
tained a teacher's certificate. He decided
to quit, school-teaching and go to sea, and
entered the service of Messrs. Soames
Bros., a large London shipping firm, whose
sailing vessels traded to India and Aus-
tralia. At this time he was 17 years of
age and, shipping as an apprentice, rose
to the position of mate of the Dartmouth,
which vessel he left in Sydney inn 1867,
after between six and seven years spent
at sea. He joined in the first rush from
Sydney to the Gympie gold diggings. He
proceeded by steamer to Maryborough
and walked the remaining distance of 69
miles. Finding the district had been unduly
hoomed, he worked his way to Port Mc-
Donald, via Melbourne, on a brig as mate.
He obtained work at Port McDonald in
the stores of Captain French (one time
Mayor of Port Adelaide), where he was
engaged in loading and unloading wheat.
Later he went to Port Adelaide in the
Government vessel Flinders (a brigantine),
arriving on August 12, 1869. For three
months after arrival at Port Adelaide Mr.
Martin was employed at Reynold's timber
yards. On January 12, 1870, he opened a
school at Port Adelaide, which was known
as the Port Adelaide Grammar school, and
almost as often referred to as "Martin's
Grammar School." He found it necessary
to secure the assistance of pupil teachers,
and the last two who were with him when
the school was finally taken over by the
Government were 'Mr. C. Charlton (now
Superintendent of Primary Schools) and
Mr. R. Llewellyn (headmaster of Lefevre
Peninsula school). The school was taken
over by the Government in 1876. Mr.
Martin continued as headmaster under the
new regime until he w.as appointed an
inspector of schools on January 1, 1900.
He had the satisfaction of seeing the school
which he opened with seven scholars grow
under his guidance until, when he left
it to take up his new duties, there were
1,500 scholars on the roll, with 22 assist-
ant teachers of all grades. He retired on
December 21, 1915, being over the statu-
tory age, and assisted two of his sons, who
we in business in St. Vincent-street, (trad-
ing as Harold Martin & Co., electricians and
motor car mechanics. He leaves a widow,
five sons— Messrs. Harold, Ernie, and Law-
rence (Largs), Roth (Tusmore), and Allen
(North Adelaide)— and seven daughters—
Madames E. Farrow (Semaphore), P. Tin-
dule (Perth), A. E. Francis (Mount Lofty),
Cecil Middleton (Dulwich), H. M. Weir
