OUTING ON SUNDAY
FITNESS WEEK FEATURE
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS NOT TO
TAKE PART
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, February 17.
The opening of New Zealand's first physical fitness week, that arranged by New Plymouth organisations, will not be attended by pupils of the New Plymouth Girls' High School, because it falls on a Sunday.
An outing praised by the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry), one of the attractions of the fitness campaign, will be a mountain day next Sunday. Arrangements were completed yesterday for the transport of 500 persons to Mt. Egmon, including 150 pupils of the girls' high school. A protest by an Anglican clergyman, published in the Press today, however, resulted in the cancellation of arrangements by the principal of the school, Miss D. N. Allan. Complete arrangements had been made by the Taranaki Alpine Club for transport.
