THE
CANTUARI AN .
EMPIRE DAY. Empire Day was celebrated with great verve. After prayers in the Schoo lroom . the H eadmaster gave n short address un the meani ng of Empire Day. He spoke of the advantages of the Empire to Englishmen, and pointed out two ways by which it must be maintained: by each man enrolling himself in its defence, and by a Power unknown to the Roman and other ancient Empires, namely, that spoken of in the Psalm : " H e gave them the lands of the heathen: and they took the labours of the people in possession; that they
might keep His statutes and observe H is laws." Then foll owed prayers for the King, the Nation, its Rul ers and its Church. After moving to the Mint Yard where the Junior School and other me mbers of the School had assembled. the H eadmaster caused the Flag to be unfurled amid cheers. The Union J ack was the one sent to us last year by King's School, Parramatta. A verse of Ie God Save the King " followed, and the Head ma~te r announced a half holiday in honour of the day.
