ABSTRACT
The future of Native education in Africa rests with the Government. The Report of the Hilton-Young Commission to East Africa equates Kenya with Tanganyika and emphasizes the conception of the “sacred trust” as the governing idea in the British rule of native races. One of the American missions has already handed over seventy of its schools to the Government and would be willing to hand over more if it were able to receive them. The acceptance by a Government of the task of Native education necessarily involves some day the end of this dissociation, and the development of an educated Native electorate who will take charge of the guidance of their own destinies. A scheme which is being put into operation by the Government of Southern Rhodesia indicates a very hopeful line of advance in the education of African women.
