That country-bred children can hold their own when given the advantages of higher education now available to all New Zealand scholars (says the “Stratford Post”), the- career of Aliss Doreen Bar-wick, whose 1 parent:/ have for many 'years been farming at Te Wera. is a case ill point. Getting her first schooling at Stratford, she afterwards lived l with her grandparents at Stanley Bar-, Auckland, where she attended the larger schools, and finally tlie Auckland University, where she now has passed the final examination for the degree of Bachelor of Arts.

At a meeting of tlie_ Dunedin branch of the National Council of Women the ‘'Children’s Charter” was discussed. In this document are stated all the safeguards for a healthy womanhood and .a virile manhood Qf .g-icdnntry; every stage of life is with I’rt'liminary education for Parenthood-,” through the jkre-nata.l weeks, the school age, choice of vocation until the child attains the age of 18 years. This charter is to be the standard aimed at by all nations throughout the civilised world. It will be considered by all the National Councils of Women existing in' Europe, Asia. Smith America, South Africa, United States of America, and when accepted by them, and perhaps improved, it will be passed on to .the” L&tgUei pf-v-Nbtipns Council and incorporation in its Department of Health will be requested. large proportion of the provisions mentioned are already on the Statute Book of this Dominion, or are being carried out by voluntary agencies; others are still in the -experimental stage; others again are being earnestly considered.

GIRL SWIMMERS. At one time it did nt seem to be thought necessary for girls and women to be -first-class swimmers, even though the average boy was, states an exchange. Now, however, girls and women go in for swimming and life-saving as much as' men and boys, as is clearly evidenced by a. visit -to aßy of the beaches or baths. That is locally, of course, but it is the same in England and other parts of the world. A recent English paper described a gathering of lady members of the Bath Swimming Club wlien an examination of • candidates for the awarde of the Poya 1 Life-Saving Society was held, the results showing that the entrants had attained a high degree of excellence. Lady Mai’y Ariiley-Oooper, daughter of the Earl of .Shaftesbury, and l\lisg Helen Bruce Dick, gaining the award of merit, and. many others first-class awards. These honours are by no means easily attained; to attain them the entrant must enter the water fully dressed in ordinary clothes, rescue a living subjhot, and oariy her a distnnoe of twenty yards. They have to, swim 600 .vards by three different ,styles of Rtvimming, dive from the surface and bring. up a weighted object from a depth of six feet. They also have to undress on the surface as well as dive from heights up to ten feet and prove their ability in scientific swimming, «uch as floating and other methods dseful in life-saving. English womenfolk aro great sports, and when they' go in for anything, they do it in heart and soul fashion.
