p. 47 · Read in the full issue

THROUGH the generosity of the direc tors of Emperor Mines Limited, the European and half-caste children at Tavua, the goldfields centre in Fiji, are having a school built for them.

There are now over 60 children at Tavua whose parents are engaged in the gold mining industry, and in order for them to receive good education locally, Mr.

Theodore and his associates decided to

erect a school on the Emperor property.

Two European masters and an assistant teacher will comprise the staff.

The new building, which should be completed by the end of January, will be wholly financed by the mining concern— the project will entail no expense to the Fiji Government.

Mr. David Sinclair George married Miss Alys Audrey Wilkinson, of Auckland, New Zealand, at the Holy Trinity Pro- Cathedral, Suva, Fiji, on November 7.
