OUR FUTURE QUEEN
Six,—Your very interesting article in your issue of April 16th on " Our Future Queen " may give an unintentional impression to readers in the Empire that their interests are being neglected in Princess Elizabeth's education. You state that she " reads history with the Vice-Provost of I Eton on the basis of such works as Trevelyan's History of England . . . and Muzzey's History of the United States . . . together with European history in outline." Further, in dealing with the difficulties with which she may have to face in future for which a girl of seventeen cannot be specifically prepared, you say: "It is enough that she should acquire a working knowledge of the history and constitutional practice of her country." We may, I am sure, be confident, in view of the well-known concern of our King and Queen in all that pertains to the Empire, that the Princess's education covers not only the historical and constitutional studies specifically mentioned, but also those of the vast Empire of which she is destined some day to be the Sovereign.—I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. ANGUS GILLAN,
