Self-help System of New Society
ABOUT 30 Tongans recently have formed a society called “Kautaha Fetokoni’aki,” the object of which is to send selected Tongans abroad for education along special lines; so that, when these young men return, they may assist Tonga generally in advancement.
Maka Lisiate, in a letter to the editor, says that each member pays in 20/- per month. A sum of £l2O was raised in four months; but a considerably larger sum is aimed at. The society hopes to receive the help of the Tongan Govern ment.
Mr. J. E. Savage, who spent over 21 years in New Guinea, latterly as Super intendent of Stores for the Administra tion, has retired from the New Guinea Service, and will not return to the Ter ritory.
