But it would not be fitting, on that scone, to pass over an event of such consequence, especially since we are a King's School, and ought, even if we do not, to take some pride in the name. It may have been King Henry VIII who founded us as such, but our late Sovereign did not ignore us, as those who were here in 1894 will remember; at any rate they enjoyed a whole holiday as a result of the visit. But despite the loyal demonstrations of the Jubilee and at the time of the last illness and death, there does not seem to be so conscious an appreciation of our King's existence as we have, for instance, on the part of the Knights in the play which members of the School will have performed in a few days. Our Sovereign is taken for granted, and if it were not for such a means as the wireless by which a king may get into personal touch with his people, it is to be feared that men would pay less and less regard to the idea and meaning of kingship. Why must we wait for public functions before showing outwardly our loyalty and devotion? Perhaps it is because in this age of mechanical progress, of rushing and tearing about, royalist sentiment is a thing for which men have no time; perhaps where equality and freedom are sought, this restraint is not required of men, that they
