The little town of Stanley, in the
Falkland Islands. possesses the most
unique school service ever known Two
travelling schoolmasters are provided
by the Government, who visit the diff
fercnt families where there are chill

ness OF the children, and they may
spend days and weeks. as the case

There is place in the middle of the
Pacific ocean well known to mariners
where there is never any Christmas

ahead of Greenwich time. In journey
around the globe the other twelve hours
would have to be marked out of the
snavigator's calendar, and if this point
crossing the antipodes is touched
Christmas eve then there can be no
Christmas day.
