Island page: Chuuk weak source

A native public school is founded on Haru-shima (春島), Truk.

What happened

Haru-shima is today’s Weno. Islander public schools (kōgakkō) offered three years of schooling, taught mainly by Japanese teachers and focused on the Japanese language. Japanese Wikipedia dates the Truk branch’s first islander schools, at Natsushima (Tonoas) and Suiyō-tō (Tol), to 1922.
