The Fruits
Alexishaven, New Guinea.—Profits from agriculture are used by the Catholic Mission here to keep its educational work going. The entire net profits from the Mission’s copra and coconut plantations last year were used for this work.
The Alexishafen Vicariate, which has a total population of 700,000, covers 32,000 square miles and has nearly 27,000 children in its 602 schools. All Europeans on the edu cational staff offer their services free, and so do plantation super visors.
When the new Kondiu school Is finished this year, the Mission here wul have spent more than £300,000 on new schools from its own funds in three years. The practice of put ting back profits from the land, for the benefit of the natives, has been a consistent Mission policy.
