Successful At

Central

Medical School, Suva

THE list of Graduates and Special Prize-winners, issued at the pear's end by the Central Medical School. Suva, Fiji, is notable for two kings. The first is the large pro jection of outstanding men from “the

\merican contingent”—the selected

itudents sent from the American

trusteeship Territory of Micronesia,

vhich decided, only two years ago,

0 support the Suva institution. The rther is the issue of Diplomas to two )f the six young men sent to the School four years ago from Papua-

Guinea. Experience has shown,

rowever, that generally the standard if village school education in P-NG s not high enough to provide a wide koice of New Guinea lads for the Suva School; and a system of train ng selected young men for medical

fervice is now being developed within

fapua-New Guinea itself.
