Advice to Students..

Now boys on an occasion like this there are many things on which I can give you a little ad- vice or suggestion based on my own experiences in life, such as hard- work, honesty, perseverance and so forth; but I am going to confine myself to two things only. The first thing which I would Adviso you

to cultivate

the habit of thrift. You may say to ma that this is not a virtue which is in most need of encourage" ment among young students whose pocket money is generally hardly sufficient for their needs. You may take it from me that no sum is 100 aniall to be saved and no one is too young to save it for the future. I started saving when I was a boy of ten. My mother used to give me three cash a day for lunch and, without failure, I saved one by dropping it into a clay cash bo (Laughter.), (Sir Robert then explained in Chipose these fow lines for the benefit of the junior boys.) Of course, I started to save in larger sums after I started in life, and I can tell you now that I seldpin felt happier in my life than when I had saved my first $200. I felt a sense of self-satis fection and security that was real. ly southing. It is through the saving and gormulation of such small sume that an individual of

ordinary means cin meet bis emergencies, fulfil bis responsibili ties, and gradually build up the foundations of a capital which be can utilize as soon as a lucrative

opportunity presents itself. Apart from my personal experience, I may tell you that the same advice was armatantly given to youngsters, by my great friend, the late Capt. Robert Dollar. From the Memoirs of Robert Dollar," a copy of which was presented to me by that shipping magmate, you will read how he attributed to his habit of frugality the huge fortune he built up in his later life. Practic, therefore, frugality and condemn extravagance and waste of any kind.

Patriotian,

Now the second thing on which I am going to lay stress to-day is patriotism. In recent years most of the students is China have de veloped an intense patriotism for their country, which, I feel sure, commands admiration from China's well-wishers. But if you allow me to offer a little suggestion or advice in this connection I would say this: By all means take an interest in the political affairs of your country while in school, but do not take any active part in them until you have acquired the neces- sary learning. and built the basis of note character, and of public spirit, which shows itself in true citizenship.
