VISCOUNT JELLICOE’S ADVICE. (Per United Press Association.) . CHRISTCHURCH, August 12. Viscount Jellicoo paid a visit to St. Andrew s College to-day. Addressing the boys, his Excellency said it was a great pleasure to cc ;;c and see the boys of the college. Some of the happiest times he bad spent in New Zealand had been with the boys of the dominion. However fine the men of the dominion were, the hoys were going to bo finer when they were grown up. When one saw the rising generation, as far as tho physique was concerned they would be as fine as the men of to-day. “I think their head-pieces will be good, too,” added his Excellency. He added that there was no occasion to cn join Now Zealanders to remain loyal, for one of the characteristics of New Zea landers was their loyalty. Perhaps the best advice he could give to them was te do their duty on all occasions and under all circumstances. ■‘Remember,” he added, ‘when you *go west,’ if you have the satisfaction of know mg that you did what you concluded to be your duty, you will ‘go west’ a happy man.”

Lord .Tellicoe said the great men of the British Empire had all been conspicuous for tho trait in their characters of doing their duty. As an example he quoted Lord Nelson’s last words: “’Thank God 1 have done my duly.” Although the school had only been in existence, seven yeais, it already had some very fine records. He hoped the traditions which had been started would bo carried on. not only by themselves, but by those who came after. It was a tradition which made a school the place in which they learnt character, and character came from tradition. It lay with the boys to build up the traditions and for the boys who live up to those traditions. .. ~T “In conclusion,” said Lord Jelhcoe, 1 wish you tho best of luck in the mture, and hope that you will carry on in this dominion as your fathers have done before you. Keep it loyal, and if the call ever comes, as it did to your fathers, I am certain that you will do your duty.
