Abstract
ONE of the most impressive characteristics of these speeches and messages is the remarkable manner in which the British Royal Family has been able to sympathise with, and be interested in, every aspect of the lives and enterprises of British subjects in all parts of the Empire. Whether addressing the Royal Society, speaking to school children, presiding at. philanthropic meetings, officiating at military and other functions, his Majesty has shown a genius for speaking the right words at the opportune moment. The messages, “Wake up, England!” “Have Courage, Be Thorough,” “The Rule of Science,” and others, have served as an inspiration to workers throughout the Empire.
