TIMARU. ■ ENGLISH PUBLIC SCHOOL BOYS. The party of English public school boys, which is at present visiting the Dominion in the course of an Empire tour, arrived in Tiinaru yesterday and' was met on arrival by the rector of the Tiinaru Boys' High School (Mr W. Thomas). The boys inspected the Timaru aiming Company's mill, and were then conveyed to the High School, and were entertained to luncheon at the rectory.

' The secondary schools of Xtw Zealand wore founded on similar lines to the public schools of the Homeland, and while the schools of the Dominion djd not have tho traditions and had not reached tho standard of the schools from which they took their patterns, they felt sure they were progressing along tho right linos aud following the best British traditions. Mr 8. D. Mason, on behalf of the board, also extended a wclcomo and said that the present was a time when the units of the Empire should keep together as closely as possible. Mr Thomas and Mr S. D. Mason welcomed the visitors. Colonel Charteris thanked them for their hospitality. Schools' in New Zealand had advanced in many ways and the opon-ftir classrooms and dormitories were something' unique. He hoped the Now Zealand schools would form touring parties to visit the Old Country. It would be for tho benefit of the Empire if this means of an interchange of ideas was quickly adopted. The Timaru High School boys then entertained their guests with musical items, after which the memorial library was visited before a cricket match and tennis matches between the school and the tourists.
