OUR PROGRAMME IN AUCKLAND Our remaining programme in Auckland fell into three main sections: 1. The industrial programme; 2. The commercial practice programme;
3. The cultural programme. In addition we paid a quick visit to the zoo. In the planning of the first two sections we received useful advice from the Auckland Public Relations Office. This office has a brief list of places it always recommends to wandering schools; on this list we found such establishments as the railway station, the post office, the Tip Top Ice Cream factory, and New Zealand Glass Manufacturers, all of which we visited. In addition, this office holds information on a large number of enterprises where visits are permitted. For instance we wished to visit a clothing factory, preferably one employing Maori girls, so that our own girls could visualise the sort of vocation they might find in Auckland. The Public Relations Office was at once able from its records to name a clothing factory willing to receive school parties (the Cambridge Clothing Factory in Customs Street) and it was the same with all our inquiries. As many establishments will not admit more than a specified number of children, it was necessary on three occasions to split the party into two sections; also, most firms will only accept parties on certain days or at certain hours, so that the whole tour timetable needs to be carefully planned. One factory we could not visit, because bookings are taken three months ahead.
