Excerpt from The Education of the South African Native
The difficulty of framing tests for Natives which do not depend on school training and comprehension of English has been only partially overcome, but the writer hopes shortly to derive a series of tests free from these disabilities.
(f) Personal Experience and the Experience of Colleagues. - As an inspector of schools in Natal, and as a member of a special commission appointed to investigate Native training colleges, I have had experience in matters connected with Native education. I have been fortunate in having been in close contact with fellow-inspectors, missionaries, and teachers who have devoted their lives to supervision and instruction in Native schools. I have also received replies to a questionnaire from forty-two of the most experienced missionary teachers in South Africa. During the fifteen months which I spent in the United States I took every opportunity to obtain a first-hand knowledge of Negro education. The results of my observations at Hampton, Tuskegee, Virginia Union University, and various types of Negro schools in Virginia, Alabama, and Maryland, are incorporated in this study.
My obligations are numerous and varied. In footnotes I have attempted to acknowledge all the sources of my information.
