A set of sectioned flying instruments, and engines sectioned to show in- ternal working and so on, conduct- ed visits to aircraft works and to the aerodrome at Croydon 'were arranged.

Cabin Class,

In the Cabin Class, out of her 32 staterooms, 24 are those of the .former first class, and these rooms, which previously usually accom modated 3 persons, were all con verted into rooms, for one of two passengers. All Cabin Class rooms are fitted with regular full-length beds instead of berths as there were before. All the Public Rooms have also been redecorated in a manner suitable for the northern Pacific trade A Children's Room has been newly provided for the benefit of young passengers.

Tourist Cabin,

The new arrangements and im provements in the Tourist Cabin Clasa are even more remarkable than those of the Cabin Class. Out of 24 rooms in this class, 14 are of the former first class, while the remaining 10 rooms are of the 2nd class, thoroughly improved

At other stands the inquiring youth learned a great deal about telephones, radio, shipping, and banking. Lloyds Bank had an in- teresting exhibit, which included a model of the night safe showing how a business man with a wallet, full of money to deposit can un- lock the safe door that opens into the street, and place his wallet in A compartment which is lifted and tilted back into a snall atrong

room in the bank. Demonstrations were given of different mechanical contrivances used in the bank's daily work.

The Baird Televisión Develop meat Company Exed up installa tions in the hall and in the Army and Navy Stores which enabled the schoolboys to see from the hall what was going on in a department of the stores, not by television but by noctevision, where the picture is transmitted by land wires.

The London County Council had a large and excellent display of the work done by pupils at institutions ranging from elementary schools, to trade schools and technical institu .tions. Among these were small fine needle- mechanical models,

present Tourist Cabin fare is only work, craftwork and a very good model of the buildings of the Tower of London made by schoolboys of from 19 to 15 years of age. This exhibit gave a good idea of the interesting and absorbing ways in which the pupils' fingers are used to open their minds and of the opportunities given to them for learning how to enjoy their leisure.
