GOVERNOR-GENERAL.
INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS. NEW ZEALAND CHILDREN THE FINEST. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 3. “Loyalty to your King means loyalty to your country; loyalty to yoillcountry means service, and service means not only good citizenship, but the doing of your best in any occupation you may follow.’-’ This was the keynote of various addresses given at the secondary schools in Christchurch this morning by His Excellency the Governor-General, who, in company with Lady Alice Fcrgusson, Mr Bernard Fergusson, and the Mayor of Christchurch, Rev. J. K. Archer, made a tour of inspection. 'The schools visited were Canterbury College, Christ’s College, the Training College, St. Andrew’s College and St. Bede's College. In opening the new open air school on the Cashmere Hills, His Excellency said: “Her Excellency and myself have seen the most splendid children in the world; certainly the children in the Old Country cannot approach them, or any other country either. Why is it that you have such fine types of healthy children of such good physique ? pursued His Excellency. “I imagine that it is the effect of environment, of fine open air and also because they are descendants of men and women who, as pioneers, lived such healthy and vigorous lives.”
