Health And Education In The Carolines

p. 55 · Read in the full issue

Sir Alan Burns, as yon will sec elsewhere in this issue, thinks that perhaps the Americans are doing too much for their Trusteeship Territory people and not making them do enough for themselves. But the US Government feels that their efforts on behalf of the Micronesians are well worth-while. Here on the left, a staff physician at a hospital on Mokie Island in the Carolines examines a small native child. The hospital is run by the United States Military Government.

On the right, we see the inside of a schoolroom in the same group where the youngsters are using American-type school readers.
