PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AND NATION.
DUTY TO PRODUCE AN ARISTOCRACY.
JOHN BUCHAN'S HOPE.
Cambridge, June 19.
Mr. John Buchan, M.P., was the guest of honour to-day At the Speech Day celebrationa nt Leys
·School at Cambridge.
After distributing the prizes, he maid in his address to the boys that they were fortunate in their terres. trial situation, being under the shadow of an ancient University, The School had produced eminent scholars, statesmen and lenders of business, and another most formid- nule type of pron
prominence attained by the School was in that greatest of all games, Rugby football.
It had been sald that the glory of our public schools was that they produced English gentlemen. He would go father and say that it was their duty to produce un ari. Locracy.
Character and Brains,
-“My definition of an aristocrul in man who gives to this worki more; than he takes from it," he said, “a man who is willing to run riska in the world, both of thought and of action.
"We in Engin have always prided ourselves on our character and yogard it an peculiar national possession. We are inclined to ad- inil we may not lo so clever PH 28 certain foreign people, but if it comes to a erlata we consider that our character
to will help us middle through. I believe that fo be utterly false. No nation or man ever muddled through anything.
"Our problems Pan bever
1. solved by honest stupidity or by quick-witted people with not hinst
else but their with Honesty Rd character are the greatest things in the world, but the combination of brains is necessary if we are des Head to bette world."
Sir Josiah Stamp had said that; they could pay their debt to thr past only by putting the fature in [debt to themselven, and this re contained mark, said Mr. Buchan
all the law and the prophets.
Lord Marshall, chairman of the Governors, who presided, said to the boys: "If you wish to make fate and fortune, you must prepared to use your brains rather find wait for a winning ticker in aniveepstake."
"Half-Pint" « juvenile delinquen appeared in a Washington court recently and was sentenced to ten days for biting a postman.
Mr. Sydney Possall, al London, elected President af Rotary International ht the
Vienna Convetion.

Avoid This Pitfall
OME men underestimate the ne- cessity of Life Insurance through a belief that they can't afford it, or be- cause of an exaggerated, feeling of prosperity. Yet most estates often disclose vanished assets and reveal- too late--that a little foresight could.' have secured financial protection for dependents.
