PUBLIC SCHOOL GIRLS
A TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND , (From "The Post's" Representative.) LONDON, 2nd May. In 192S the Society for the Oversea Settlement of British Women (the Women's branch- of the Overseas Settlement Department) organised a tour of- Canada for secondary school girls. This was such a great success that a second one has been planned, the country to be visited being New Zealand. It is arranged for next year and the partv, under the leadership of Miss Edith Thompson, will sail early m January, and return home towards the end of May. The inclusive cost of the tour -will not exceed 150 guineas, and already many applications have been received from girls of fourteen schools The party will be limited to 2G. From what one hears, many parents feel that such a tour as this is a good finish to the education of a girl who does not wish to specialise in any subject at a university. Miss Thompson, who is to be in charge fo the party, with an assistant director, is an active member of the council of the 5.0.5.8. W., and was leader of the Canadian girls' party. She is an ex-president of the All-England hockey team. She took a representative girls' hockey team out to .Australia two years ago, and previous to that she took a team to South Africa.
