EDUCATION AND CROWN JEWELS. There can be no doubt whatever as to the feelings of the younger generation who view for the first time in their lives the emblems of sovereignty made available to their wondering gaze by the fascinating exhibition being held in the Exhibition Hall at Hay’s, Ltd., at present. Some of these young people may some day have the opportunity of visiting the Empire Capital, and will without doubt make very certain of a trip to the Tower of London —if only to see the Jewels. Meantime—here—right in their own home town, and open to all, is a display of some of the most perfect reproductions of the Crowns. Sceotres. Orbs —indeed, every symbol of British Royalty—even to the very Coronation Chair itself—in actual size and perfect minute detail. The Minister of Education (Mr T. JH. McCombs) has expressed interest, and already manv schools have made arrangements to visit the disnlay in organised groups. Where this has not been done, it would be an unwise parent indeed who would not encourage children to add so worthwhile a picture to their mental equipment--for here is a history lesson not easilv forgotten.
