RANGIORA SCHOOL CHILDREN'S PICNIC.

The Rangiora School teachers are ] to be congratulated upon the succ2ss of their excursion to Oxford. No better locality could have been chosen for such an outing. The weather was extremely propitious and for ycnrs tbe mountains visible from Oxford have not shown L more beautiful outlines. The lesson ■ imparted to tbe children from an ■klncational point of view must have beyond the most sanguine hopes B the Committee, who had charge of Kliem. The train when drawing up at K\Vest Oxford was something to be refcnambered, containing as it did. some rSo children and 250 adults, all ■healthy, well dressed and smiling and ■forcibly reminding us, when seeing Hthese young people, what New Zealand is going to be. We were pleased on meeting the members of the Rungiora School Committee to be told that onr Recreation Ground was superior to theirs, and so we lope that our example m that direction will stimulate them to imitate us. No doubt the impressions which parents and children carry away with them about our well-kept pleasure grounds and beautiful scenery will act ns inducements to other pleasure seekers to come here and do likewise.
