- YER the children Of royalty, the
future kings and queens Of
Europe in the last place where
one would expect to find it, the
law Of the simple life reigns supreme.
The natural thought that the boys
and girls born to the purple would live
in an atmosphere of luxury, with their
from the truth. AS a matter Of fact,
in nearly every case the upbringing is
one Of Spartan simplicity and discipline,
the aim of the training being to early
teach the youthful sprig Of royalty that
TO be a king imposes serious response
bilities which can only be discharged
y a man with mind and body in best
condition Of control.
1t may be said that this is a modern
evolution, a triumph for those sound
laws OF good training, from whose
working none are exempt not even the
all powerful monarchs Of Europe's
great thrones. Perhaps il children Of
the past whose fate IT was to occupy
way there would have been fewer
chances of Misunderstanding between
ruler and the governed.
The example Of the late Queen Vic
toria did much TO teach the value Of
applying the law of the simple life to
the future kings and queens.
The story Is related OF how once
when Albert Edward was a boy in
knickerbocl1ers he and his royal
mother were at q watering place. The
future king was playing in sand with
another youngster OF about his own age
but whose destiny had in 1t nothing Of
kingship. Getting petulant over some
point in the play. the little prince
kicked over a bucket of shells the other
lad had been collecting. Victoria was
so angered that she promptly put the
heir TO England's throne over her knee
and gave him the soundest kind Of a
thrashing. The news Of this incident

wise, should be. She leaves very little
to hired help in the care OF the chill
dren, but makes their little garments
superintends their lessons, and is their
companion in their pleasures, like the
plainest citizens wife.
The children show the result of this
sensible training. Prince Eddie is
amenable to the discipline Of the naval
school at Osborne, the same sas any
other student, and so little stress has
he been taught to put on his station
that he has become the most popular
of boys, and is dearly loved by all his
schoolmates.

tor at postoffice savings bank in
st. James street.
However much the kaiser may differ
from his royal uncle on some points
Of diplomacy, he is a great admirer
of the English method of bringing up
children, and has followed it with his
own, and to a large extent with those
of his son, the crown prince.
The crown prince and Princess Cece-
lie now have two children and there is
no danger that either will be spoiled.

actions that helped to win the ruler
the love of her people, for II showed
that she was mother the same as the
other women of her realm, and that she
was just as determined as the strictest
OF them that her son should not mis-
behave.
This set the example for the rearing
Of the royal children OF Albion, and
they have in nearly every case been a.
fine, manly and womanly lot who drew
on the love of the nation because of
their simplicity.
When he was prince of Wales, the
present ruler did not always follow
those lines OF conduct approved by the
strictest of moralists, but he was so
unaffected that he never failed of a
boundless popularity, and his offendings
We're always speedily forgiven by a
public that idolized him and continues
to do so.
The princess of Wales has proved a
mother after her grandmother's heart.
She was engaged to wed the Crown
Prince Clarence, oldest brother of the
present prince of Wales, but when he
died her affections turned to the 9TH
er brother, and the union has been
blessed with many children.
The eldest of these and the heir
presumptive to the throne is Prince

The whole effort of those in charge
OF the education of this successor to

earnest" and that his station ex-
empts him from none of the obliga-
tions that fall to others; rather, in
fact, it adds to them
Unlike the pampered, overdressed
