Copies of thopaner weie taken to Balmoral by special mcssengt. from London. The Ivuig, v;no read the Prince's message lor- the hrst time, said he thought it was excellent. n "it is a pleasure and, a privilege, savn the "Daily Graphic'' in a. leading article, "for us to publish this morning tlie full text of a remarkable message written bv Urn Prince of "Wales." "The message is in intention one or farewell to tlio girls and hays of Now Zealand. But it is more than that. It, is a to tho girls and boys of t'iic' whole British J'.rapiro. . Jt is, moreover, a l'cveiation of tho in»nd <ind thought-, and aspirai ions cf tho Princo, our future ruler, tho trunk .LngJisa bov who we all hope will one day marry an English girl, it is therefore an historic- document of the •first importance, and is destined to become ono of t!ho most interesting Stato papers ol our time. < . , "Bv the Frmcc s express desire tne letter is published in his own handwriting in a school journal, and was to be read out in all tho schools ot New Zealand. The children of this country arc mostlv on holiday, but tno messago may well" bo read to tkcm in every honio." ■ After auoting some of the ctnoi points in the letter, tlio writer goes on to kuv : "13v wisdom, it is recorded m Holy* Writ," 'prinecs rule, an a nobles, oven all tho judges _ of tho earth. Edward, Princo of "Wales, gives in tins letter proof of true, wisdom, lie states a code of honour which .is sufiicieiit, it acted upon,.to ensure to tho British Empire ft new generation of honourable ami happy people. . "If tho Prince's life be reviewed it will be. realised that it is m complete accord with his noblo prccepts. He lias lived up to his code. Young though he is, he has bent his. mind to the probIsnui ot tho tiny, ho lias travelled. lflJ and wide, and ho has stood tho axnu tost of t'he great war. He has revealed ' bv his acts .as well as by his.words that ' he has character and individuality. " 'Heaven lies about us in our infancy, wrote one of tho most understanding of all tlio poets. If it seems to recede somewhat as wo grow older, such a message'as that of tho Prince of \vales draws it nearer again, raises our aspirations, and revives the eternal hope of a happy human race linked together with honour, and 'animated in all actions by motives of mutual and selfr "Dailv Graphic" lias arranged for copies o'f tho front pago of the number to he reproduced on paper or good quality, as there is likely to bo a great demand for it among schoolmasters and schoolmistresses throughout the country. , » Tlio message was addressed directly to New Zealand (says the "Sunday Times"), hut it should, and will, be read' as addressed to every, boy and girl in the Empire. These will bo able to feci that their future King is on© of themselves, that he belongs to every scction of his far-flung Dominions, in his own words, "every bit as much as thev do themselves" ; that his pride in their achievements and his sympathy with their afflictions will be as keen as any they can themselves experience. He" has set them a standard of conduct, he has asked them to play not for their individual profit, but for the side and the game. In setting forth, his three special requests he has proclaimed his own standard of conduct, sung the dirge of the old and worn-out Divine, ltight of Kings, and heralded tho birth of the nenv and truly Divine llight of Duty.
