General Hector Macdonald and the Boys

At the distribution of prizes to the | students of Scots College, Sydney, General Macdonald delivered the fol lowing address :— Mr Chairman, Ladies and Gentle* mem, and Boys,—-When the principal of the college did me the honour to tusk my attendance here on speech day he forgot to mention that I w«to distribute the prizes or even to make n Boeecb.--( Laughter.) However, [ for give him, and I am sincerely thankful that he asked me to come here to meet the children of our own people.— (Hoar, hmr.) The cause of education was one of the first things that atrack me on arriving in the Australian State*-—that it obtained from the Government of the country every aasis tance and every support.—-(Hear, hear.) Sometimes T had it in my Kiihd that perhaps one thing was want log, and I w&s very pleased to hear it mentioned by yoar chairman. I refer to religious instruction.— (Applause ) I understand that, according to the rales of the State Schools—-! am not quite sore how this school stands—-that religious instruction is debarred The Chairman : May I Bet you right on that point? A@ regards New South Wales, the public schools are perfectly free and open to all cor ministers to go in and instruct the children,— (Applause). Major-general Sir Hector Macdon ald : I am very pleased indeed to have the correction, bufc lam certain that in some of the States what I said ap plies.— (A Voice: "That is so.") I was therefore very ranch distressed at What I heard. I think it will be admit ted by this audience that a great deal of the success of the Scotsmen in their own sonntry, and especially in those who go abroad to earn their way, ia owing to the religious instruction re> oaived in their youth— (Applause.) Ba£ Xam not a schoolmaster or a reli gious teacher—my walk in life has been in other ways, and I will now addresi myself more particularly to the boys, — (Applause from the boys.) And in that respect I want to say how pleased I have been to see that nearly every school goes in—-I do not say largely—bufe, at any rate, to an ex tent—for a system that aims at the boys having sufficient physical culture. —(Applause)— There is nothing nicer than to see a young fellow—quiet and unassuming, perhaps—with a strong back and a broad chest, walking with an ©lasllo step— (Applause.) I advise you, boys, to appreciate physical cul ture, and there is an excellent system J»OW in vogue—every one of you knows of it—called Sandow's system It is • very easy thing, and I believe may bo samtned up in a very few words—go to inch farther. The ordi nary duaob bell exercises, the seesaw thut yon see tn«y be very prefciy, but it does lot develop the muscles because it is a peestwandno more bat go just the othtr inch and yoo have got it.—(Chrere from the boys end gpner»l Applause ) You bofo ctn all see the smart fellow I am 'talking about, and you laugh at the uncouth, elovenly fellow. You look »t the cnsirt fellow wVn you sen him \xt the gymnasiom ; if you do not pay •ttentton to him, md go in for the see saw work, you will each come out of the gjma»6ttim & kin<l of see saw fellow yourself, I hope that the day wi'l ©imo— snd I tm vprj nearly certtin that it will—when every boy wll be obliged to go through jSfymimgt'C training anil' triining with tho rifle. F am very nearly certain fiat yonr Government will, whoa the finances permit, provide you with a miniature rifle to begin with, Booh as you can sheet with, and as you grow up will give you a full stead irHclfl —tho real Mackay. lam certain, boys, tlat I am now voicing your own opinions when I cay that you do not like the stick that is given to you now as a rifle.—(Great cheering from the boys.) I was a boy myself once, and I wanted to get the genuine article if it was possible. There is one other thing I wish to say to yoo, and that is: Consider other people's feel ings as well as your own ; have a lohy sense of duty ; be actuated by a love of truth!alness and respect for yonr seniors and those over you j and, above all, always act straightforwardly &t between mata and man.—(Oheers.)

You know the story-—how good Queen Bess, pointing to the beautiful hair of a peasant girl, said, "There's a real royal crown. I would trade my golden one for it." That was long ago. Now you can have a real royal crown of your own, simply by using Ayer's Hair Vigor. It makes the hair grow thick and long and stops it falling out. When your hair is rich and heavy, and when the closest inspection fails to detect a single gray hair, you will cer tainly look a great deal younger, and you will be much better satisfied with yourself, too.
