THE Samoan Administration has an nounced that in future free education will be granted to all European children attending Government schools. It is hoped that this concession will also be granted to children attending the inter denominational Marist schools and that, for that purpose, the Marist schools will be granted a subsidy.

European children enjoyed free educa tion under the German Administration in pre-war days.
