SCHOOLBOYS TO TOUR
VISIT TO DOMINIONS LETTER FROM PRINCE British Official Wireless. RUGBY, Saturday. Thirty-four boys from different schools, who have been selected by the Public School Empire Tour Committee, assembled at Euston station this morning to start upon a tour of Canada and Newfoundland. They were addressed by the Secretary of State for the Dominions, Mr. L. S. Amery. A letter from the Prince of Wales was read wishing the party a thoroughly enjoyable visit. The Prince wrote: “What you will see in Canada, and the friendships you will make there, will, I hope, form a bond which will last your lifetime. Every individual bond of that kind is of immense value in strengthening the universal bond which holds the whole British Empire together. The earlier in life that we contract such bonds the better it will be for the destiny of our race.” His Royal Highness has invited the schoolboys to visit his ranch in Alberta.
