Schools For Boys And Girls

NEAR the high and healthy town of Warwick, on the Darling Downs, in Southern Queens land, the Church of England authorities have established two fine secondary schools—one (the Slade School) for boys, standing in 20 acres of grounds, overlooking the Condamine River; and the other (St. Catherine School, Warwick) for girls. Both of these institutions have been care fully organised and very well equipped, and young people of both sexes are taken from the junior stage right up to preparation for a pro fessional career or the University, while at the same time they are well trained as citizens and are provided with every facility in the way of sport. Both schools re-open on January 30, 1940.

Further details of each institution are given in an advertisement in this issue.** M. Oscar Meyer, of Paris, who has been engaged in anthropological research in New Guinea, has sailed from Sydney with French recruits for Indo-China.
