are chiefly interested in the rights OF
the natives. With them we are espe-
cially glad to meet.
The Prince has always endeavor-

Schools Interest
81 agree with what my colleagues
have already said. | want to speak
about something they did not cover

! the schools your children attend
Your children interest us much.

visited that the children are being
taught along the right lines. We want
to legislate for them along the right
lines; that is partly the cause of our
visit here
I'VE want to have your children
develop into good citizens, so that
when you have passed away they can
take up the future government I'M

the Prince today | want to say in
conclusion, if | may be allowed to
give advice, BE Industrious.
