Governor Of Fiji On Country Tour

The Governor of Fiji, Sir Alexander Grantham, accompanied by Lady Grantham, has been touring some of the rural districts of Viti Levu; and, in these photographs, they are seen in cordial meetings with the three communities— Europeans, Fijians and Indians.

TOP: A visit to Provincial School Eastern, London!. This is one of the five provincial schools to which Fijian boys, chosen by com petitive examination, go from the smaller village or district schools. English is an important subject on the curriculum, but native customs and crafts are also taught. The schools are residential. Much of the food used is grown by

the boys on the school farm. Fifty boys from the Gilbert and Ellice Islands (where education was disrupted by the Japanese occupation) are pupils of Provincial School Eastern.
