According to present arrangements the Prince's training is outlined up to his twenty-second year as follows:— 1909-1911 —At thelioyal Naval College. 1911-1913.—At Oxford (probably Christ Church). 1913.-1914.'—0n a tour round the Empire. 1914-191G.—lit a cavalry regiment, with intervals for f-tudy with the Royal Engineers ami lioval Artillery. .. Immediately after leaving Dartmouth his Roval Highness will commonco his studies'for a short university career, and, will most likely go into residence at the beginning of the Michaelmas term Oil October 10. 1 Tho usual four years' course at tho University will be curtailed in his Royal Highncss's caso to two years, and he will ; be attended by his present tutor—Mr. Hatisell—assisted by various .professors, according to the subjects of study chosen. Some time in 1 191.1. probably towards tho end of-'the year, the Prince of Wales will embark .with his brother, Princ© Albert, in one of: tho big, warships of the Dreadnought cruiser type for a tour round tho Empire. . • On their return tho Prince of Wales according lo precedent, will be gazetted to a cavalry regiment, while Prince Albert becomes a midshipman, most likely in tho flagship of the Homo Fleet. The great wish of the Queen is that the Prince of Wales may remain a boy as long as possible.' Consequently lie is not to be allowed to uudortako any publio duties until after he has- attained the ago of eighteen—when royalty, legally comes „ of age in England. _ 1 Though his Royal Highness will be pre-, sent at tho State opening of Parliament next month by the Kiny, his rolo will bo merely that of a spectator.
