THE Queen of Tonga’s second son, Prince Jione Gu, has been enrolled for the two-years agricultural course at Gatton Agricultural College, in Queensland. This is in conformity with Tongan custom, which compels all child ren to do an agricultural course at school —agriculture being the basis of Tongan life.
Until the end of 1942, Prince Jione Gu (or John Gu, as his name is more fre quently written), was at Newington Col lege, Sydney, and while in New South Wales he distinguished himself as a Rugby footballer.
His elder brother, Prince Tuboutoa, who recently returned to Tonga, after passing his final law examination at Sydney Uni versity, is the heir to the throne of Tonga, and at present is Premier of Tonga.
For the first time in the history of the Colony, a session of the Fiji Criminal Circuit Court was held at Ba in March.
