MKCD& DSMnOflTT (CAD, DE SOTO-PLYMOUTH o 33 SOUTH RIVERSIDE London (U.R) Prince Charles, the future king of England, is going to become "one of the boys" at a proper British school. But he is also going to have a special education-fit for a king. The plans of education of Prince Charles announced by the Queen and the Duke of Edin burgh last week represent a compromise. They had wanted their son to have experience outside the pal ace gates "just like any other boy." This would mean going to classes with boys his own age. But as a future monarch he is not just like any other boy. He requires schooling in subjects not generally taught such as constitutional history, royal eti quette and responsibility. The compromise means Charles will attend certain class es at a famous boys school, join ing the sports and games and studying arithmetic and litera ture and other standard courses. Then at home he will have some private tutoring. A master from Eton College will give him intensive instruction in history and French. A professional mu sician will give him music les sons. He has shown a flair for music. By combining classroom work and special tutoring, Queen Elizabeth hopes her son can get his royal training- and still ex perience life in the world out side. The prince's governess Miss Katherine Peebles will remain in charge of his general welfare. She will also escort Prince Charles on small parties with some of his friends to interest ing spots around London. This is a royal custom. When the Queen and Princess Margaret were young, their grandmother used to take them on an excursion once a week during the sum mer. They visited museums and art galleries and went to the Tower of London and the mint. This is the kind of thing Queen Elizabeth plans for Prince Charles. This summer is likely to see him exploring the capital with all his usual eagerness and curiosity. Sources close to the court say this phase of the prince's educa tion wililast until he Is 10 yean old. He will celebrate his seventh birthday next November. When he is 10, the Queen and the Duke must decide on the next . stage. Ordinarily at this age, a British boy of high rank would go to boarding school. But no heir to the throne has ever done this. It is well known that the Duke of Edinburgh, who attended the Gordonstoun Boarding School in Scotland, believes Charles should go there, too. Laurine & Dyke FLOOR COVERINGS 400 E.
