son. Edwards childhood and youth
We're hedged In and circumscribed by
dull routine. He was kept from other
boys society. He had private tutors.
Kept from smoking in youth, he later
smoked excessively. His studies were
so forced and harsh that they became
distasteful. History was confined to
dry facts and figures Fiction was
barred as demoralizing, and even
Scott came under the ban. The result
was that when he came to the throne
he read virtually nothing but newspa-
pers. Longing for outdoor sport, the
prince could only ride. Later his love
for sport brought on him undeserved
censure, although, in the reaction Of
manhood, he was at times indiscreet
in association and conversation.
Edwards mental powers were
dwarfed by his training. He became
only superficial thinker. The death
of Albert when Edward was twenty
brought no change; 1t even made mat.
tiers worse. The queen insisted on
carrying out the program planned by
her consort. Consequently Prince Ber-
tie began his manhood with the book

In which he will have nothing to do

KING EDWARDS TRAINING BAD
Late Monarch's intellectual Develop
ment Dwarfed by Restrictions
Of His Parents.

It is seldom that the world has OPP
portunity to study the details of a
monarch's life until that life has long
been ended. But not so with King Ed
ward, whose brief reign is still fresh
In memory. Nor is it often that read
ers have an opportunity to hear the
story of the real king. This is what
has been told by Sir Sidney Lee in a
supplement to the Dictionary of Ma
tional Biography" just published in
London. It is remembered that on
Queen Victoria's death there was
some gossip as to the distrust in which
he was held in England. That King
Edward was unjustly criticized in
many respects and that bis training
had much to do with his shortcomings
are facts made clear by Sir Sidney.
Edward VII. was known in his
vonth as Prince BERTHE. Victoria's
consort, Albert the Good. was kindly

that not every writer of marine
"thriIlers" could have passed so well.
The examiner began by trying to
make him talk nonsense.
