Opening Paragraph Native Education in the Union is in an unhealthy state. Three years ago, the doctors were called in to diagnose and prescribe a cure. The result was the Report of the Interdepartmental Committee on Native Education, 1935-1936 . Some of its recommendations displeased another set of doctors, viz. the Native Affairs Commission, who, on their own initiative, offered their view of the case, agreeing on the symptoms of sickness, but prescribing, in the Report of the Native...

The continent of Africa, in common with other tropical areas which have come under the relentless expansionism of Western civilization, is experiencing widespread and revolutionary changes in every aspect of human behavior.

There is, however, one all-important and far-reaching aim, referred to by Professor Westermann in The International Review of Missions . ‘Orthography...
