YOUTHFUL CANDIDATE'S SUCCESS
Out of 112 candidates from Gilby’s College, Wellington, who passed the London Incorporated Photographic Society’s Examination (Typists’ Section) last year, the first in the advanced grade was Murree Dixon Erlam, younger daughter of Captain Harry Erlam (inspector of explosive?) and Mrs. Erlam, Darlington Road, Miramar. When she sat for the examination, she was only 13 years 8 months old; her success in this examination was followed by success in the Public Service (senior) last November, when she was 14, and she is believed to be the youngest candidate ever to have passed this test. Last year she also passed, witfs distinction, the Chamber of Commerce examination. Having attained her proficiency at the early age of 11, she has had a most successful scholastic career. All her successes in 1940 followed a business training that began only in May, 1939, and concluded in November last year, interrupted by absences through illness.
