Meeting Each Other

Country children who live miles from anywhere have to do their schooling by correspondence, which means, of course, that they have no classmates with whom to play, or discuss their work.

A most interesting and enjoyable day was spent by children doing correspondence work, when they gathered together for the day in Gisborne a few weeks back. Converging on the city from the back Wairoa area, the remote regions of Matawai, and the East Coast, the children were able to work together for the day, and see something of the city as well.
