From F. Martyn Renner, Principal, Rongotal College, Wellington, to Mr. G. H. Mackley, General Manager of Railways, Wellington.
Some twenty boys of this school, under Mr. J. T. McCaw, undertook a rail-tour of the North Island during the September vacation. This was the second occasion and, as in the first case, it was equally enjoyable and instructive to all concerned.
What I should like to bring to your notice was the whole-hearted co-operation given by all the officials of your Service—guards, stationmasters, drivers, clerks, etc. Their courtesy, helpfulness and willingness to put themselves out, were especially noteworthy. Nothing was too much trouble to them for the enjoyment and comfort of the party.
