MR. COATES AND THE SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Speaking from the roadway upon his arrival at Foxton yesterday afternoon to the assembled pupils, the Prime Minister (Right Hon. J/-\ G. Coates) said: “Well, boys any girls when you go to your horn, to-night, do your best to help you 1 parents. They are the best friemhT you will ever have. We are living \ in a wonderful little country, and in receiving your education, you are being equipped to become great and strong citizens in the future, able to carry the responsibilities of looking after your country. 'Remember when you play your games, play them hard, not roughly. Wjhen you win, be modest in your vietory; when you lose, take your beating like good New Zealanders. Now is the time to start, now is the time to learn. I am going lo ask your chairman and headmaster to let you off school for the remainder of the day,” Mr. Coates concluded. “If in the future, you hear hard things against me, you will remember that the day I came here, you had a ralf holiday! (Cheers). I think we will be friends always.” _
