CHILDREN'S TOUR
VfSITS MADE TO FACTORIES A number of industrial organisations in the metropolitan area were visited by parties of pupils of the Manukau Intermediate School yesterday. Nearly 500 children in parties of from 20 to 30 visited woollen mills, box factories, a biscuit factory, flour mills, fertiliser works, a canning factory, glassworks, printing works, dye works,- a tramway workshop, a tannery, a clothing factory and firms manufacturing forest products and concrete pipes. A teacher who, as far as possible, had some knowledge of the industry visited conducted each party. The object of the visits was not so much to discover methods of manufacture as to study such matters as wages, hours of work, physical and hygienic conditions, opportunities for beginners and influence on character and growth. Other factors connected with an industry as a vocation were also studied..
