Abstract

IN the death of the youngest and one of the most accomplished of the Queen's sons the cause of education has sustained a loss. The Duke of Albany knew well what science meant, and on several occasions publicly expressed his sense of its value in respect of the nation's welfare, and the necessity for its introduction into our systems of education. There can be no doubt that had he lived he would have rendered service to the best interests of the country. It is so rarely that princes have the tastes and leanings of the late Royal Duke that we could ill afford to lose him.
