The New Zealand Railways Magazine, Volume 6, Issue 3 (August 1, 1931)

Railway Children

Railway Children.

The composite photographs of railwaymen's children now appearing in the Magazine are attracting much attention throughout the service, and also amongst the public who receive the Magazine.

The children are all fine representative young New Zealanders, sons and daughters of men whose calling requires that they shall be bright and alert in the performance of duties of national moment, and of women whose adventurous spirit has led to their taking the chances of railway life, including liability to transfer at any minute to almost any part of the Dominion.

It is no wonder then that the children look strong and well and fit to hold their own in any emergency, that they take their fun where they find it, and that they hold their own in any contest, whether at school or at play, in which they engage.

We shall be glad to receive for inclusion in the series any further photographs of railway children. These may be sent free, through the nearest Stationmaster, addressed to the Editor New Zealand Railways Magazine, Wellington. Such photographs will be carefully preserved, and returned if desired.
