From Our Own Correspondent

Port Moresby, March 23,

ANEW convent school has been built recently by Steamships Trading Co. under contract. It consists of two floors, built on concrete founda tions, with concrete pillars carrying the upper floor. A 12-ft. verandah extends all round. The lower floor is to be used for the school, while the upper storey will be given up to offices, committee rooms, etc., and a large hall for enter tainments. It is an impressive struc ture, and is in keeping with the modern buildings that are gradually replacing the old land-marks, which are being demolished one by one. Mr. George Lupson was the builder.
