Tn all of the history Of savage races,
l. there are no blacker pages than those
devoted to the Fiji Islands 1t was only
fifty years or So back that the Fli.an
was not mentioned except with n shud-
der. He was the most determined can
nibal known to the world, the most un-
scrupulous, the most treacherous. No
story Of Fill was complete without tales
of his blood thirstiness. Of cruelty and
murder. of brutality and massacre. Fiji
is made up of a handful of islands-tWO
Of them big enough to eount-and they
are but dots on the broad expanse of tho
Pacific, but today they occupy a strategic
position and their early story is inter
esting.
So far as any known records show the
Fijians always have lived where they
live today. They have no legends TO IN
licate that the first of their race came
from other lands. Yet there Is a differ
cree between him and other members Of
the Polyneslan race, a difference that Is
percepdble. but not accounted for. The

ing. Cots will be placed in the build
ing wherever possible and the build
ing will be dedicated to the use of the

tire stay in this city.
Because several teachers have not
yet sent in their contracts for mex,

tion in appointing teachers for the
next term. The question of salaries
for teachers, although discussed at this
meeting, was not settled.

tor of the Y. NJ. C. A., will be secured
by the board for the next school year
