| Summary: | The content of this article is the result of a first-hand study of African missions with particular reference to what is being done for the native in the way of general and industrial education. Last April the writer and Mr. N. O. Moore, of Riverside, Cal., were sent upon a special commission to visit and investigate certain missionary interests of the Seventh Day Baptists in British Central Africa. The route taken made it possible to visit many stations of other established missions in the south and east of Africa, from Cape Colony to Egypt. It also afforded them a limited opportunity to observe the extent and scope of the educational work of the different missions visited and to discuss the problems involved with many missionaries, teachers, government officials, and other European residents of the country. Professor Wilcox also talked with a number of educated natives in South Africa and elsewhere and learned their views as to what form of missionary education was the best suited to native life and progress. |
