Work For Own Funds

From Our Own Correspondent

Rabaul, June 30.

OTHER Administration schools are now following the lead of Malubunga in accumulating school funds for the general improvement of their schools and for purchasing equipment. The idea be longs to the natives themselves.

Malabunga funds are provided by the sale of taro and kau kau. The school at Toma has not only developed its gardens to produce both taro and kau kau but each pupil brings in six coconuts on Monday and Wednesday mornings. These are sold to PCB.
