Handbook of New Guinea, Papua, etc.
The Handbook of New Guinea, Papua, British Solomon Islands and Norfolk Is land, which has been compiled by Paci fic Publications Limited, will be pub lished within a few weeks. Publication had been arranged for the end of Janu ary, and everything was completed for that purpose; but final printing had to be postponed owing to the non-receipt of certain vital data from one of the Territories —the result apparently of a letter missing an Islands mail.
The Handbook will contain, in addi tion to all necessary general and statis tical information relating to the Terri tories (brought right up-to-date) a list also of the names, occupations and ad dresses of the European residents in all of the four Territories named. Therefore, it will be a useful directory.
The Handbook is being published at the low price of 2/6 per copy: and will be on sale at most of the Islands stores.
The request for a school at Kavieng has been refused by the N.G. Adminis tration on the grounds that there are only fourteen European children there.
The Administration insists on a mini mum of fifteen children before a school is established.
