Wikipedia description:

John Howard Whitehouse (1873–1955) was a British politician, the founder and first Warden of Bembridge School on the Isle of Wight, and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Mid Lanarkshire from 1910 to 1918. His father, George Whitehouse, was a Quaker and an uncompromising Gladstonian Liberal whose strong views on issues such as Irish Home Rule and opposition to the politics of Liberal Unionist, later Conservative, leader Joseph Chamberlain were to shape his son's political views. Whitehouse, throughout his career in politics and later at Bembridge, was an intense believer in the right of the individual to shape his own life and a bitter opponent of any form of bureaucratic control.
