MATRON CAIRNS

Miss S. Cairns who has been appointed matron of Thronburg College, Charters Towers, has now taken up her duties at the college. The new matron has had extensive experience both in Australia and abroad. Trained in the Brisbane Children's Hospital, she has had hospital experience in many parts of the State and was matron at the Babinda Hospital and just recently at Gordonvale. Matron Cairns saw service overseas in the Great War, being stationed at Salonika and Egypt. Since the war she had five years' hospital and college experience in Canada. Such a travelled and experience matron will surely prove her great capacity at Thornburgh and will be heartily welcomed by the boys.
