SAMPLES are to hand of another series of books published by the Melanesian Mission Press, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. They in clude a primer in the native language for the use of school teachers in Aoba, New Hebrides; morning and evening prayers in English for the use of the members of the Melanesian Brother hood; and a well-bound book of 364 pages con taining matins, evensong, psalms, services, etc., in the language of Fiu, north Mala, Solomon Islands. The technical excellence and finish of all this printing work are most praiseworthy; it is clear that Mr. Fred Isom takes a keen interest in his fascinating job. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of teaching the natives some form of reading and writing, and that is what is being accomplished by this steady out put of books from the Melanesian Mission Press.
