PROGRESS is being made in education in Western Samoa. During recent years, the Director of Education, Mr.
A. McKenzie, has written many school books, and specimens are in the hands of the Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Samoa Administration, and the Education Department, New Zealand.
Some of the books or the syllabuses have found their way to New Guinea, the Gilbert Islands, Niue, American Samoa and Fiji.
Because paper was scarce, New Zea land was not able to print the school books so the staff in Samoa got to work with tvping, stencilling and cyclostyling; now the books are in the hands of the pupils. Seven are in the vernacular.
