Abstract: Beginning in 1951, the Headquarters for the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) regularly published a magazine that detailed its work in the region. From 1951 through the first issue of 1956, the magazine was known as the Micronesian Monthly; from the second issue of 1956 through the end of the run in 1980, it was known as the Micronesian Reporter. From 1951 through December 1967, publication cycles varied: For the most part, the magazine was produced monthly, though certain issues cover two or more months. Starting in 1968, the magazine was formally shifted to a quarterly publication cycle, which continued through the first quarter of 1980, when publication ceased.

The January–February 1961 issue highlights education, women’s organizations, and new public health efforts across the Trust Territory.

Articles note the rising number of Micronesian students attending the Territorial College of Guam, with photographs of students and their friends in front of the Administration Building. A feature describes scholarship recipients, while another outlines “Schedule C” programs for higher education. Reports from Yap introduce the Yap Women’s Association and profiles of active business women. Health stories include a medical operation referred to as “Operation Fly Drop,” the use of toothpaste promoted by Dr. Jaffe, and fishing technology aboard the longline vessel Katsuwonus.

Individuals named include George B. Harris Jr., Dr. Jaffe, and district leaders associated with women’s and education programs. Institutions mentioned are the Territorial College of Guam, Yap Women’s Association, and the Trust Territory Department of Health.
