French Nuns Teach by Example

p. 125 · Read in the full issue

This house on the outskirts of Hanuabada village. Port Moresby, is exactly the same as every other house in the village— except that it is a great deal cleaner and neater. It is the home of half-a dozen French nuns, who believe in teaching by example. This Order also obviously believes in the dignity of labour.

They make enough for their own modest needs by turning to for any job from making hats to scrubbing floors; from baby - sitting to teaching French, or helping Moresby women to organise their parties.
