Niue Mission Schools
From Our Own Correspondent NIUE, Sept. 10.
THE London Missionary Society has pioneered education on many Pacific Islands, includ ing Niue.
Some years after the New Zea land administration took control of the affairs of the island, they com menced a school at Alofi, then at intervals they have added two more schools in the larger villages.
Recently Mr. R. J. T. Davies, Senior Inspector of the Islands Education Department, visited Niue
and made arrangements for the taking over of nine village schools which be consolidated into four Government schools.
So the London Missionary Society hands over yet another of its pioneer efforts.
It is the policy of the Society to work only in educational and medi cal fields where the authorities will not or cannot fulfil their obliga tions to the people and meet their needs.
For the third year in succession, Mrs. C. P. McCubbery has won the Port Moresby women’s golf cham pionship. She was a champion player in Victoria before her marriage.
