First Ride In A Train

First Ride In A Train.

A party of six children, pupils of a small isolated school in the King Country, obtained their first experience of railway travelling recently, when they journeyed to Auckland by train. With one exception, none of the children, whose ages range from ten to fifteen years, had previously ridden in a train, and none had ever seen the sea. They attend the Kohua Road School, about thirty miles from Te Kuiti. While in Auckland the children were billeted with friends of their teacher and were taken on a number of sight-seeing trips, including a visit to the R.M.S. Niagara.
