Prom Our Brisbane Correspondent WHEN the New Guinea Public Health Director (Dr. J. T. Gunther) passed through Brisbane recentlv bv flyinq boat from Suva, Fiji, he said that six New Guinea natives would go to Suva in the New Year to begin a four-years course in medicine at the Central Medical School.

Natives from all Pacific Islands were eligible to attend the Suva School but, Dr. Gunther said, few New Guinea natives could at present be found with sufficient educational background to undertake the course. He hoped that a similar school would eventually be founded in New Guinea.—JMH.
