Auckland, December 15.
“It is at least one hopeful sign in a land where there are not nearly enough daughters that girls from homes where there is no spur of poverty tire being enrolled with a purpose that embraces something much more valuable than continuous days of golf and bridge,” said Miss E. R. Edwards, headmistress of the Diocesan High School for Girls, in a review at the school's speech day.
-At one time, she added, it was the exception for parents to say they wished their daughters to work toward some profession. “Nowadays, 1 am glad to say, it is only in exceptional cases that they do not do so.”
