Gift to Fijian Education

THIS photograph of Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna, with Sir Henry and Lady Scott, was taken on July 19 on the occasion of the foundation stone of the new Queen Victoria School being laid. The magnificent site of the new school, at Matava tucou, Tailevu, 205 acres in all, was given by Sir Henry Scott. The building, which will cost £lOO,OOO, will be paid for from the Colonial De velopment Fund.

The school was founded in 1907, but the school buildings at Nasinu, near Suva, were taken over by US forces in 1942 and the school has been conducted in temporary pre mises ever since. There will be accommodation for 180 Fijian secondary schoolboys in the new building when it is completed.
