New Chinese School at Rabaul

A new Chinese school was opened recently at Rabaul, the official opening being performed by His Hon. the Administrator, Brig.-General Wisdom. The Rev. W. H. Cox, of the Methodist Missionary Society, presided. The school consists of one large fibre-plaster classroom, a porch and two dwelling rooms for the teachers, Miss D. Coltheart and Mr. John Ha. The Chinese community of Rabaul have undertaken to pay for the entire school, and already a sub stantial sum has been raised.

Before the advent of the new school, the education of the young Chinese had been conducted by Rev. J. W. Ackroyd, who established night classes. Later, the Chinese Oversea School was founded and it was aided by the Methodist Mission Society of Australasia.
