Nauru, Mar. 22.
THE new wing on the Government Hos pital at Nauru was opened on March 15 by the Administrator’s wife, Mrs. F.
R. Chalmers. This section will be used entirely for the welfare of Nauruan babies and their mothers.
While the site has been, and probably always will be, a matter of controversy and criticism by European residents, the new wing undoubtedly serves a good purpose. It is brightly painted, airy, and with European designed cots for the children. Another feature is the replace ment of Nauruan boy orderlies by native girls. Whether they will prove efficient has yet to be seen, but they certainly look clean and neat with their little white caps and green uniforms.
