ABSTRACT

In the education of the African it should be remembered that he has a life of his own, that he is characteristically a native-physically, morally, spiritually. It should be remembered that he has a soul with an outward and visible clothing and an inward and invisible life, and that a true interpretation of the man African must be an interpretation of his inner consciousness. The only true interpreter of the man African must be an African, one like himself with similar yearnings, hopes, and aspirations. All that the foreigner can do in the line of education for the African is to lead him in the line of progress to see and know himself so that he may faithfully interpret his own to other people. This thought I may later on expand.
