IN FIJI
To Mrs. J. B. Suckling - , the Government child-welfare nurse at Tailevu, Fiji, the native babies are “little images of God. cut in ebony.” and she has done much to arrest the infant mortality which was increasing at an alarming rate. She goes from place to place caring for the children and instructing the mothers —a loved and welcomed figure in the district. Mrs. Suckling originally, lived in New Zealand, and she is the widow of a missionary who died in Fiji during the influenza epidemic of 1918.
