Notes:

From Pg. 333 of Men Of The Times - Pioneers of the Transvaal and Glimpses of South Africa - The Transvaal Publishing Company Printed by Eyre and Spottiswoode - His Majesty's Printers 1905:
'MR. CHARLES HELYAR SHORT was born at Tulbagh, Cape Colony, in 1870, and is a son of the late Mr. Samuel Short, who left Trinity College, Battersea, to take charge of the first of Cape Town's public schools, "Tot nut van't algemeen," an institution which has turned out some of the most famous men in South African history. Mr. C.H. Short was educated at Cape Town, the South African College being his Alma Mater, and he came to Johannesburg in 1888, when he immediately entered upon an interesting career of speculation. He is a member of the Stock Exchange, the managing director of the Colonial Land and Investment Company, Ltd., one of the executive committee of the Responsible Government party, an enthusiastic force in the Rand Ratepayers' Vigilance Association, vice president of the Braamfontein Ratepayers Association, and he belongs to the Australian Club. Mr. Short seriously and insistently manifests in numerous ways a jealous anxiety that the voice of the South-African-born should have attentive regard from administering representatives of the Crown and aspiring politicians. In Braamfontein, where he owns a beautiful suburban residence, and where he greatly assisted in founding the local branch of the Church of England, his advice is invited upon all questions of public importance, and accepted with confidence in its genuineness. On the outbreak of the war Mr. Short left Johannesburg, and became attached to the Political Intelligence Department of the Imperial Service, and in the capacity in which he served he quickly gained the high esteem of his superiors, and was frequently intrusted with history-making missions. On December 6th, 1900, he was specially deputed to attend the Worcester Conference, where he considerably added to his credit the esteem of the military and civil authorities, being specially intrusted with a command in the e4vent of imminent trouble. In the course of the last nine months of hostilities, when the invasion of Cape Colony was made by Generals Scheepers and Kritzinger, he was despatched to the Eastern Province as press censor and political intelligence officer.
A noteworthy incident in Mr. Short's career was his election in Cape Town, by the exiled Uitlanders, to the Refugee Committee, a position which he justified by his strenuous and appealing work in the interests of his fellow refugees, and which marked him out as a leader in the affairs of the people. Mr. Short is a stock and share broker, and has an office in Arcade Buildings, at the corner of President and Rissik Streets, and when the day's business is finished his interesting personality attracts many guests to an entertaining social table on Wanderers' View. at which Mrs. Short gracefully presides."

Occupation: 1873, Victoria West, Northern Cape, South Africa; Teacher

Notes:

This Samuel Short is a bit of a conundrum.
1. He married Eliza Mills in 1849 in London, and they appear on the UK 1851 census in East Coker, Somerset. It appears that Samuel and Eliza left England soon after for South Africa but I (PaulTT) can find no record of their travel. They had four children, Lydia, Eliza, Henry and finally a son John born in Claremont, Cape Town in Nov 1861, and then she must have died soon after as she was buried on 18th December. Samuel's marriage cert to Sarah Adams states that he was a widower.
2. he marries Sarah Adams, and has twin children, a Samuel and Sarah Adams in October of that year, and then a son Louis. A daughter Susan W C W was born in Victoria West in 1867 , sons Charles and Theodore are born in 1869 and 1871, but the baptism indicates that the mother was a Susan. I think this was a mistake and should be Sarah. By 1878 he has lost his job and by 1881 he is bankrupt and Sarah seperates from Samuel. He dies in 1904 and Sarah in 1910.

from Sigi Howes on 28 Jan 2016 I received:
*From 1854 - 1857*
Teacher at the Holy Trinity Mission School in Harrington St, Cape Town (I have a photo of it). He quite probably started there in 1853, as the previous teacher left in the middle of the year, and that was more or less the time he and Eliza arrived in CT. Eliza Short was his Assistant at the school from 1854 until 1856. She probably taught the girls and he the boys.
*Source*: Educational Statistics for each year in the Government Blue Book of that year; everytime pp Y2-Y3.

*From 1858 - 1865*
In 1858 he joined the prestigeous Dutch school, 'Tot Nut van Het Algemeen' (I have a diagram of it) as teacher of English, Mathematics, Latin and Greek. He was popular with the children; competent but not 'dynamic'. When he left the Tot Nut in September 1865, the children presented him with a hand-bound Bible and a copy of Tennyson's poems.

*From 1865-1871*
From October 1865 he was the teacher at the Tulbagh Public School (today Tulbagh Hoërskool). He was not there in 1872, so he did leave, but where he went I don't know. In 1871 he would have been 51 years old. I have nothing on record about him in Victoria West. You could try the local school there to see if they have him amongst their teachers.
