With the object probably of gaining an insight into the mysteries of municipal government, about 40 pupils from the Dunedin Girls' High School were present at the fortnightly meeting of the City Council. The girls followed the various debates with keen attention, and several were observed taking notes, evidently with a view to being prepared for the essay which is invariably expected from scholars after any such experience. The Mayor (the Rev. E. T. Cox) extended a welcome to the young visitors, and said that whilst it was inevitable they should be expected to write an essay on their impressions, he hoped that for the sake of the councillors they would not have to execute any caricatures. He trusted that their visit would encourage them to take an interest in civic affairs, so that in the future some of them, perhaps, might take seats at the council table.
