The Education of Edward VII

In a recent issue of the "English Quarterly Review," Lord Esher contributes an article on the education of Edward VII. He was reared with Puritan rigor. Not an hour of the youth's time could be wasted. Novels, even Sir Walter Scott's, were out of the question. His study hours all had to be devoted to modern languages, or history, or something of that nature. His manners and deportment were under the constant guidance of his parents, who planned to make their "boy a model of all the virtues, and a storehouse of all wisdom." Would that the parents of to-day had the same solicitude for their children.
