FOR a thorough education from Kindergarten to University, combined with the development of a true Christian character, so fitting their girls to face with courage and conviction the prob lems of the future, parents in the Pacific Islands cannot do better than send their daughters to “Fairholme” Presbyterian Girls’ College, at Too

woomba, Queensland.

The administration of the College is under the control of the Presbyterian Church of Queens land, whilst its curriculum is comprehensive and comprises courses in commercial training and domestic science, in addition to the usual academic subjects. Tuition at “Fairholme” College is given by a staff of University graduates and the college is approved by the Queensland Government as available to State Scholarship holders.

Recreation includes tennis (three courts), basket ball (two courts), swimming, organised games and rambling clubs. The grounds and playing fields are 12 acres in extent.

Further particulars regarding “Fairholme” will be supplied on application to the secretary, R. T.

Phelps, F.A.A., 491 Ruthven St., Toowoomba, Queensland. —***
