First N. Hebrides N.M.P.

ANOTHER N.M.P., Daniel Kalorib, the first New Hebrides native to graduate at the Central Medical School, Suva, was in Sydney in December. He left for Vila on the 22nd by the “Morinda” to begin work in the Con dominium as a Government medical assistant.

Kalorib, who has just completed a four years’ course at the Fiji school, is a fine type of his race—modest and shy about his achievements, but full of en thusiasm for the work ahead. Receiving his early training at the Tangoa Pres byterian institution, he became a school teacher, and later transferred to the J.

G. Paton Hospital at Vila, as an assistant. On the recommendation of the British Resident (Mr. Joy), he was sent to the Medical School at Suva. His father is a teacher on the island of Malekula.
