SIR W. ROBERTSON
TALK TO SCHOOLBOYS. “Speak the truth, think of others, and don’t dawdle,” was the advice given to Radley pupils by Field-Mar-shal Sir William Robertson at the unveiling of a new archway at the school to commemorate 216 old Radleians who served in the war. The General said that the boys could not have a nobler purpose in life than to try to cultivate the same spirit which animated those who had fallen, and paid a tribute to the servioes of old publio schoolboys during the war. ‘ Great acts, he said, dad not perish with the lives of their doers, and ultimately the country must bo the better for the lives of men who, through the war, had left an inspiration which would be .good for generations to oome. He exhorted the boys to become men in the best sense of the word, and to follow the footsteps of the old boys who, in a time of the country’s need, went over the top and gave everything that they could.
