Ng Natives For Suva
p. 77 · Read in the full issue
LATEST report about the New Guinea natives who are being groomed for the Central Medical School in Suva.
Fiji (see “PIM,” September) is that the numbers have now been whittled down to about three. Original number chosen from the whole of the Provisional Ter ritory was seven.
It is believed that the decision to send boys to Suva was made by a “higher authority” and is not favoured by the Director of Medical Services in New Guinea, who believes that the boys have not the necessary background or educa tion to take advantage of the Central Medical School course.
