and the Baganda have proved apt and eager pupils; but among many of them the demand has now arisen for something more than the three R’s and simple Bible-teaching. The whole system of education in Mengo, and throughout the country, is being revised and extended, and the ability which Mr. Hattersley has already shown in this branch of missionary work points him out as one who must take a prominent part in the improvements now under consideration.
We were impressed by the signs of vigour and efficiency evident in the conduct of the large boys’ school under his charge, and were greatly interested in a project for which he was preparing at the time of our visit to Mengo. Mr. Hattersley was then busy over the erection of a group of small boarding-houses for the sons of chiefs in different parts of the country, for whom better education was desirable than could be obtained in their village schools.
