SCHOOL PARTIES.
TRAVELLING TO TON GARIRO. The numbers of school children travelling to the Chateau Tangariro have been unusually heavy this year. Many more school parties than usual are making the trip, and a big strain is being thrown upon the train-running staff at the Auckland railway station. They state that the traffic is the heaviest of its kind ever experienced in Auckland, parties from as far north as Whangarei and Dargaville being handled. A total of 103 pupils and teachers from the Auckland Boys' Grammar School and the Otahuhu Technical High School left Auckland on Thursday. A party of 26 girls and four teachers from the Whangarei High School arrived at Auckland yesterday and will go on to the Chateau to-day. A further group from the Takapuna Girls' Grammar School will also leave to-morrow. On Monday 31 boys and two masters from the Mount Albert and 22 boys and four masters from the Takapuna Boys' Grammar Schools will go south. Next Friday 50 pupils and two teachers from the Dargaville High School will reach Auckland on their way to the Waitomo Caves and the Chateau. Seventy-six pupils of the Epsom Girls' Grammar School are scheduled to leave on September 16.
