The system OF physical training 10
ha used is the one on which the king
of Italy himself was reared. BOTH
miserable weakling his parents ue-
SPARED of his life, and with 1t for tne
future of their kingdom
Italy, of all countries, demanded d
ruler of quite exceptional quality as a
fighter, a man whose military instinct
would consolidate the power won Dy
the warlike house from which ne
sprang.
Like his royal father before him. the
little prince of Piedmont will be SUD
jected to a semi-military education
He will be placed at a very early age
under a military tutor to whom the
fullest powers will be given. Every
morning in his boyhood he will be
awakened at six o'clock, having slept
In a cold room, even in midWinter,
He will jump from his bed into an
ice cold bath, will eat breakfast at
seven, and begin his studies half an
hour later. His lessons will be espe-
cially selected, not so much for MS
own edifcation as to eradicate all laZl-
ness from his system
| ~ i-to a h.
ject the more diligence will be insist
Cd upon. After a spell of study he will
ia strenuous lessons in horseman-
ip. whether it is hot, cold, raining or
showing.
The present king often returns from
these riding lessons, which he still
takes daily. soaked to the skin, and
the colds he contracts are left to cure
themselves, as it is an I'd saying that
a king of Italy must not fear cold.
Concurrently with his physical harden
ing the prince of Piedmont will receive
an almost encyclopaedia education
Nothing will be allowed to inter
fere with his lessons, except with the
permission of his autocratic tutor.
The queen, bred in the simplicity of
the little court of Montenegro, is an
enthusiastic adherent of this Spartan
system of education, and, in fact,
thinks that the very best thing for her
son would be to send him for year
or two to live with the hardy noun
taineers of her native country, which
would give him much the same tre1t
ment as that given to an eastern ten
derfoot by cowboys of the west, with
the result of developing all the manly
traits in his character
