When the party of Australian Public School boys was over

here last year, the hope was expressed that a return visit of British Public School boys to Australia would be possible. I understand that arrangements are now complete for a hundred British Public School boys to visit Australia this summer. The plans are being made by the Church of England Council of Empire Settlement. The party will leave England in the Hobson's Bay ' on August. 3rd, and the cost of the six-months' tour for each boy will be £135. The trip affords a wonderful opportunity for young Englishmen to see something of the Empire at minimum cost under the• best guidance, and I hope that parents who can spare the money will send their sons on this grand tour. They will never regret the outlay.
