p. 46 · Read in the full issue

A difficult problem confronting parents in the Islands is that of providing children with ade quate and suitable education. In most Island centres there are schools for white children which educate pupils only to a certain standard, fore, the need for sending Islands children to Australia for secondary education is apparent.

The Wesley College, Melbourne, is particularly suited for students who find it necessary to board at their school, as in the case of Islands pupils.

This large and well-conducted college was established in 1866. Last year it was completely rebuilt and now embodies all the latest improvments and facilities for modern education. The boarding establishment, separate from the main class room block, is tastefully furnished and well-equipped. The school maintains its own hospital. There is a junior school for boys from 6 to 11 years of age. Swimming pool, large playing fields, gymnasium, and facilities for rowing are all designed to assist in the physical webfare of boarders. Details may be obtained by writing to the Headmaster, Wesley College, Mel bourne.
