Sir Henry Scott's Gift To Fijians
IT is reported that a rich gift has been made to the Fijian community by Sir Henry Milne Scott, of Suva. It is the estate called Mata Vata Ko, and it consists of some hundreds of acres of good land, in the Tailevu district—on the eastern coast of Viti Levu, opposite the island of Goma.
It is intended by Sir Henry that the land shall be used for the education of the Fijians—for the establishment of a school, and for the assistance of native education generally.
Sir Henry Scott is a member of a Fiji pioneer family. He was born in Levuka 70 years ago; his father was the first legal practitioner to settle permanently in the Colony. His son, Maurice, recently elected to the Legislative Council, is the third generation to carry on the work of the famous legal family.
