SCHOOLGIRLS ON TOUR
W. AUSTRALIAN EXPERIMENT PERTH, W.A.. Dec. 19. A party of over 100 senior State schoolgirls last week began a tour of the country, in just the same way as boys have been touring during the past 10 or 15 years. They were drawn from the principal schools of Perth and Fremantle, and went oil’ in the charge' of eight teachers. They had a train to themselves, and noisy and hilarious was the scene of their departure. For most of them it was the first long journey of their lives. A visit will he paid to the karri timber centres, the group settlements and the butter factories. The girls will also visit tlio irrigation centres around Harvey, where they will be shown the system of paddock flooding and the regulation of water supplies. The tour will cost only £2 2s a head, including all forms of transport, meals and sleeping accommodation. This has been made possible by the huge concessions granted by the Railway Department, as well as by the hospitality of the people of tlio districts through which they will travel. The experiment, is likely to be repeated next year.
