MUSSOLINI’S SONS.
TUTOR’S FREE HAND. “Signor Mussolini rules every house in Italy, except his own,” writes the Rome correspondent of the Daily Express. Although he dictates the education of every young Italian, his wife has entrusted the education of 11 Dnce’s eldest 6ons, Vittorie (19), and Bruno (17), to a Fascist, Major Reatto. The latter has insisted upon freedom to educate the boys in accordance with his own regimen. Accordingly the sons of the Prime Minister rise at 6.30 a.m., for breakfast, have an hour’s riding, and then school until 4.30 p.m., when Majoiy Reatto gives a fencing lesson, alter which swimming, shooting and other sports are prescribed. Major Reatto forbids pocket money, but takes the boys twice a week to a cinema theatre and a football match on Sundays. He regularly reports to the parents. .... Signor Mussolini is chiefly interested in his sons’ military studies and was delighted when both gained high points in the flying examination.
