SUMMER CAMP.
St. Peter's Girls' School.
For the last ten successive years Miss A. Thompson,
the Head eacher, has raised funds to enable her to take
a party of girls to the seaside for a week. She decided this
year not to repeat the excursion, as she found that these
trips were not being sufficiently appreciated, but she hopes
that, by allowing a year to lapse, greater interest will be
taken by parents in the benefit thus provided for their
children.
It is hoped that Miss A. Thompson and her Assistants
will again take up this work, which has been such a success
in the past, giving a free seaside holiday to so many girls
from poor homes.
