With perfect rhythm they take part in folk songs which describe their wars and social advancements. Miss McCullough explained. However, European teachers and white teachers are to be found on the staffs of native institutions. This is due to the color bar, similar in many ways to that existing in the southern United States. Here the children have an opportunity to learn to live in harmony with others.
Tuition is free, boarding is inexpensive and food is wholesome.
Almost all native schools are financed jointly by the government and Christian missions, Miss McCullough said, but the majority of black children do not get to school at all. Under social welfare however, a little is being done for the adult native. A few of the missions, for instance, have courses in weaving, home nursing and prenatal and child care. Malnutrition and ill-health among the natives is high in Miss McCullough's opinion. It is a serious social problem.
