Excerpt from Annals of Valour: Empire Day, Friday, May 23rd, 1919
For the inculcation of these great lessons every day is to the teacher a time of Opportunity. But Empire Day is of all these the greatest. It should be made a day to which every pupil will look back to strengthen his national pride, to renew his patriotic resolves. Empire Day has never been of such wonderful importance as it is in this year - 1919 - when the British Empire has been saved from an unthinkable catastrophe, when it faces duties and potential perils which require the supreme valour, the unswerving allegiance, of every loyal citizen.
