THE REQUIRED TONIC.
A PATRIOTIC LETTER.
Mr. C.-.W. l'ulmcr; secretary of tho Navy Leoguo.has received the following "lottin 1 from (luptuiu Woolcombc, K.N, who was hero with JI.M.S. Prometheus, but who has recently been promoted to 11.M.5. lJrillmui, now on tho Muwluuudland station:—
■ ihank you very ,inueh indeed for your - •-loogmtulntions ou my promotion, and for your appreciation of my small effort to.-help tno i Navy League during tny. stay iu Wellington. Let rao in turn congratulate you most heartily on the-very satisfactory results,of your patriotic work in co'niftctiou u'llli tli'o Wellington branch.' This is a very critical time for. our pirn; if the children of thisi generation are uot up in 'a sound knowledge of the grand Imperial work dona by their .forefathers, If l.hcj nr* nut lull of .a great feeling of loyalty to our King and Empire,'.'.if they lose touch with the old British love of home and horns life, then, in my humble opinion it will mean that the great family of Britishers throughout the limp) re will get further and further apart, and the work of centuries will' be found to have been wasted. Heal home life and early discipline, the children, being brought up_ with great ideals, is, in my humble 'opinion, the tonic required just now.''
