At the request of the Parents’ Association and subject to the approval of the board. Miss K. E. Stephens, principal of Palmerston North Girls’ High School, reported at last night’s meeting of flic board that she was investigating the possibility of taking a party of girls to Tongariro National Park for the last week-end of 1 his term. The exile uses lor each girl, lor three days, would be about £ll, and if parents felt they were prepared to pay this, it might provide an opportunity tor some of the girls to sec one of the loveliest parts of New Zealand less expensively than they could after they had left school, and perhaps even more enjoyably.
