A School Excursion
An excursion was arranged by our school on last Sunday. This excursion was subsidized by the school and each student was required to contribute rupees ten. A luxury coach was hired for the excursion which carried us to our first Point-Red Fort. The students had arranged their own eatables. Some brought their cameras with them for photography. The day of excursion suddenly became cloudy with cold breeze blowing. It was a very fine day. We visited Humayun tomb, Nizamuddin, Okhla, Jantar Mantar and Qutab Minar. We had hired the services of a qualified guide from the Department of Tourism. The guide was very helpful and narrated the history of historical monuments. Besides enjoyment, the excursion had an educative value. It is desirable that such excursions are arranged, from time to time. These should not be confined to local sightseeing but should he extended to other places of interest, as well.
