Young Cook Islanders Build Own School House

Unwilling to mark time while plans were being finalised for the opening of a second ary school, a number of young Cook Islanders, last year, formed an English class un der Albert Henry, a capable and educated Euronesian.

Needing a class-room and equipment, they organised concerts and with the pro ceeds bought timber and cement, with which they built their own school house.
