Not less than 200 and not more than
500 words, Read carefully the last
paragraph of Archdeacon Cody'ead-
dress to the annual meeting of the
Ontario Division of the Navy League, -
May 12th, 1920. This appears on page
10 of the printed report, a copy of
which you may have on request.
Study carefully Chapter 21, of The
Navy League Reader -"Flag and
Fleet."
This reader is endorsed for school
reading by the Ontario Department of
Erducation. Its valine is best expressed
by Admiral Earl Beatty, who sa e,0--
"To read Colonel William Wood's
"Flag and Fleet" will ensure that the
lessons of centuries of war will be
learnt, and that the most important
lesson of them all is this, that as an
empire, we came into being by the
sea, and that we cannot exist without
,the sea."
This will help you to understand a
little of what Archdeacon Cody
means when he speaks of "world
peace and world freedom."
Now write a short story of nob less
than 200 and not more than 500 words,
telling hi your own way, what event
in the "Flag and Fleet" Chapter you
think best explains "Why is it good
to be British.' That will be the title
of your essay. You will find many
mush events memtioned in the chapter
AO: -
The break-up of Algerian slavery,
The protection of the Greeko from
Turkish murderers,
The safety of Canada's coasts, and
the freedom of her shipping,
The guardianship of ,British oitizefte
in foreign lands.
The saving of India and Egypt, eta.,
etc.
Remember, it fit not the boys and
girls who say the most, nor who tell
