AN aerial photograph of the modern Queen Victoria School for Fijian boys, recently built at Matavatacou (on the Tailevu coast, 45 miles on rt h of Suva) at a cost of £158,000. It was opened by the Governor on March 5; and here, in a setting of unspoiled natural beauty, 180 selected Fijian lads will be given higher education. The original QV School for Fijian boys was built by the Fijians themselves at Nasinu, near Suva, 40 years ago; but it was taken for war purposes and, later, it became a training college for native teachers.
