Children
Having in mind the difficulties of parents in the Pacific Islands in the education of their children, Mrs. J. Ashton (who has retired from Stratford College, Lawson, N.S.W., in order to make a home in Sydney for her own children) is prepared to take into her home a limited number of girls (and their brothers up to the age of 10 years).
Send them to a good State and private school, supervise and assist them with regard to their homework, and make it her pleasure to help to find out each child’s natural bent, and have it developed along the right lines.
The large modern State schools supply, in addi tion to the ordinary curriculum, extra subjects such as Dressmaking, Business Principles, Short hand, Typing, Home Management and Languages, without extra charge.
Children away from their parents, especially the younger ones, need a great deal of care; and Mrs.
Ashton is especially well qualified in that direction.
