p. 27 · Read in the full issue

In Australia.

HAVING completed a 15 months’ course of semi-technical education at a Geelong school, Victoria, a party of Nauruan Boy Scouts sailed from Syd ney for their homes in Central Pacific at the end of December. Mr. H. Hurst, a Geelong Scout Commissioner, accompanied the lads, and will return to Australia in February with another party.

This development is part of the Nauru Administration’s policy to send selected youths to Australia for intensive educa tion and training for leadership. The plan is earned out in conjunction with the Scout movement.
