NO FORMALITY
4 PRINCE OF WALES VISITS A SCHOOL (Rec. February 19, 5.5 p.m.) London, Februarv 18. “Look here, don’t let us have any formal programme. 1 just want to sec the boys and girls.” This was the Prince of Wales’s first remark to the headmaster on arrival at Westbourne School. The Prince was in jovial humour, and seemed to become a happy schoolboy himself. The children listened to a delightful speech with rapt attention, then the Prince listened to the children singing songs like “John Brown’s Body” and “Here's a Health unto Your .Majesty.” and when the conductor accidentally hit the Prince s hat it was the Prince who led _ the laughter, with the remark: “It is a good job it is a hard one.”
