George the Fifth is a Man of Careful Training and is Expert at Whatever He Essays to Do--He is a Quiet Man With

a Love For Home Life.

'I thorn h-going Briton, who loves

the English tongue better than any other in the world, an expert sailor and I shrewd, sensible statcsnian, George V. Of linglniid will probably ilease his people better than any of he four other inoiizirchs who bore the ianie of George. Although his life hus far has been more private tliiin hat of most Princes of \\`nlcs he has ieeii one of tho most popular mein- »ers of the royal family. This luis ieen as much as for aiigrtliirig else. on iccount of his fine reserve and his inobtrusivc lioine-loving character. Nevertheless he has shown hiinsell i statesman of no mean ability and in Impcrialist to gliiilclcn the hearts il Greater Britisliers. Born on June 3, he was chris- cnod George Frederick ljrnest Albert, ind after beconiing Prince of \\'ales ook many titles which are in the pos- session of his family.

Among these honors are the names

of Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall and York, Duke of llothesfiy, Prince of Sake-Cobiirg and Liotliu und Duke of Saxony, lizu-l_of Carrick and inver- ness and Baron of lit-iifrcw and hil- larney, Lord of the lsles and Great Steward of Scotland. lie also acquir- ed the following iitlcs ii. the course of his ciirccr as prince: l{.ti., K.J_, l\'.l’.. G.C..$.l., ti_t.`..\l.Li_, Li. L). l. li., G.U. V.O., 1.5.0., general and admiral. As King he is monarch "by the grace of God of the Uriited l\`iii~,'iloii.i of Great Britain and lrclaiid and of the British doniinions bc_\'oiid the seas.

_ King, Deiciider ol the lfaiih, Lliuperor

of India."

As a boy the new King from his

earliest days enjoyed good health. The first ei-glitceii _vcars of his lite were spcnt in close and constant coni-

Eanioriship with his brother, the lets

uke of Cliireiice. But even in the

nursery the younger of the two boys took the lead, and as they grew bigger in the happy simplicity of their fath- `er`s Norfolk home, where, with the exception of short visits to tisboriie and Abcrgclilie, their t-liil.iiio..d was almost wholly spent, it \\;is l’riii.i George \vlio'\\'as iirst and f rcniost' in fun and games. From the public much of the iionie lite of royalty is carefully hid, and their futher was al- ways studiously anxious that his boys should grow up as siiiiply as possible. All the retainers at e`aiiiili'iiigli:iiii were forbidden to show the lads uiiusuril deference, and they were carefully shielded from the piihlic gaze. Prince George therefore enjoyed the advan- tages which most country gentlemen can give their sons, but little more than these. With Rev. J. N. Dalton as their governor the two princes spent a happy English boyhood, rind it was decided that neither of them should pass through public school ex- periences. At the same time care was

taken to avoid efferiiinficy.

Swimming and tennis, boating, rid-

ing, cricket and every form of healthy outdoor exercise formed a regular part of their carly training. For cillilvt-Ii years the two brothers were rarely if ever apart for a. single day. 'loucilier they were educated as boys at hoiiic. Together they were to be ever sucn fridiri upon thcir two ponies Swift iand glowcoach either across country _and along the broad, grassy roads

- lnear _Siinilriiiglizirri or else in the park

gwhcn in London. _

' When the time came at whicliiinost lboys go to school the two princes be- lcame naval c:idcts on board ll..\l.:'.. Britannia at Dartmouth. The present. moiiarch had not quite coniplcicd his ¢W_9lft1h year when, with his brother,

he passed the examinati-'in st the l'l'i\'al .\`a\'al College. Greenwich. _ I"roiii this rlrite, Jlirie, I-577, he dates ili1~ licgiiiiiiiiu of his naval career.

The_ princess was having tea, and the sportsmen were quite ready -for it. The careful wife. however, would not hear of her husband hav- ing his tea till he had changed his wet stockings and boots, and he,

l though protesting, had to obey his

spouse.

King George V. is the first English

monarch 'since the Stuart days of whom it is possible to say that he is wholly and indispufably English. The pro-German inclination of the flrst four Georges were notorious. and most of them could hardly understand the language of the country over which they had been called to rule. King Edward, while he spoke English per- fectly, was a qosmopolitan in taste and sentiment and never sohappy as when enjoying n holiday at some con- tinental health or pleasure resort; He spoke almost all the European lan- guages as well as his own, and he made his reputation as the most ris- tute diplomat in European largely ow- ing to his ability to denl on equal terms with the diplomats of every nation.

King George_V. does not feel so

much at home in any language as in English. He had the usual drilling at. school in the European tongues, but as soon as his formal education was finished he dropped their study. declaring _ that English was good enough for him. He much prefers -his own countrymen to foreigners and in choosing his intimntes has selected his friends from amon the old Eng- lish nobility or from those who have made their mark in the development of the Empire.

The new King has been exceptional-

ly popular among his people as Prince of Wales and has been not- ed for his democratic ways. An inci- dcnt in illustration of this was his act ing as stoker _on board the Indomit- able on the return of tlmt warship from_ the Quebec tercentenary in 1908.

Having been brought up r-i sailor, he was quite at home in 1, e rough sur- roundings. He had known what it felt to be half smothered in coal dust. Aa ri sailor who served on the Iu- domitable put it, "He’s no ornamentf ul sailor, but it seamen down to his boots." As the lndomitable’s coal `sl_ioveler the prince wore a. stoker’s kit consisting of a white suit, white

headgear and white gloves.

His character as a sailor may be

indicated by a sentiment he wrote

in the Duchess of Fife's album:

"I am s sailor, and every sailor

loves a lass. (Don't show this to the ducliess.) Give me a good dinner, ii good companion, a good smoke, s good glass of grog, and then I dislike

nothing and nobody in the world." ' The new King was the favorite grandchild of the late Queen Vic- tona_ and bears a. striking semblance % hi_a aunt, the Empress Dowsger of

uasin.

THE KINGS FAMILY.

Home Life and Education of the Royal Children.

_In no phase of his life, neither on his beloved sea not at one of the _many forms of sport which he follows, _is King George V. quite so happy as in his own family circle. He is pre- 'eminently a home lover and his ride =is i_n his Queen and his flock ofjfive boys and a girl. 1 And good reason has he to be proud of his children. Prince David, heir apparent to the throne of Greater Bri- tain is one of the most promising _princes in England’s history.

The six children of Their Majesties

are all noted for their blue eyes, clear complexions and hair of a golden hue. They have been accustomed to roam- ing the fields round Sandringham, of- ten in the company of their father. The eldest, Prince Edward Albert, is now in his sixteenth year, and he and Prince Albert Frederick, who comes next, are both naval cadets. Then comes Princess Mary of Wales, noiv in her thirteenth year, to become _the Princess Royal of England. The youngest of the family is the little ’rince John Charles, who on the next

_l_2th of July celebrates his fifth birth- ay. All the royal children are said to

have ii love of things military. Trum- pets and swords and flags, drilling, marching and saliiting constituted A gent deal of their family games.

A- story is told of sn smnteur‘photogwipl\t>r- who took s snapshot of two sturdy Ymlnirsters diirportlng iii a swimming pool in the vil age, and was astonish- ed on showing the print to the vfllnire lllhlweper to learn that the tvo~youn¢- gtg” _wage Pnnce "Bertie" and Prince avie. ~

Their parents are quite opposed to-

the habits of the new rich in loading their children up with large sums as pocket money. _ or a long time their hree eldest children were given an allowance of two shillings s woekboeli HS mcket-money. and ctthls mm tis; were required to give an exact nccount~ before any further installment was was forthcoming.

Very special care, by the way is

taken in instructing all the rdynl children in English history. In order to interest them in this bran¢h ,f their studies, the princes are taken frequently to the British Museum by Mr. Hiinscll, their teacher, to see orig. inal letters and documents of great historical importance, which they have found mentioned in their books.

This method of instruction was gne

that greatly appealed to Prince Ed- ward. for whom these documents had a _tremendous fascination, the young Prince would frequently plead to be tnkcn_ to the British Museum instead Of 1101113 $0 see a football or cricket iivifcli: sometimes his request was

He had made others, notably as Prince George of Wales in 1883, when he was it midshipman, and again in September and October, 1901, when as the Duke o_f Cornwall and York, and accompanied by the gracious lady who wil now occupy the throne as Queen. he made a. long tour of Canada as the wind-up of_ a tour around the world-wide British Empire. Those who saw him then, and particularly the newspapermen who recorded his trip, while paying .tribute to his gcniality, were also con- strained to remark upon his nervous- ness-in fact it might better be_de- scribed as bashfulness_ _He plainly 'was not at case in receiving so many flattering apeeclies, and in seeing so `xnuch done in his honor.
