"OLD SCHOOL TIE."
ITS IMPORTANCE IN TONGA. PRINCE RETURNS FROM COLLEGE. The Crown Prince of Tonga, Prince Taufa A'Hau, would have liked to have been educated in Auckland but liis father, the Prince Consort and Premier, sent him to Sydney—to keep up a familv tradition.
"It would be much more convenient for me to have gone to college here," remarked the Prince, who arrived by the Awatea this morning on his way home after his final year at Newington College. "In Auckland I should have been much nearer home than I am in Sydney. But my father was educated at Newington College, so I had to go there, too. The old school tie, you know, and all that sort of thing is important even in Tonga."
The Prince leaves for Nukualofa by the Matua this evening, and is to return to Sydney next year to commence an arts and law course at the university.
