It is pleasant to notice how all the teaching in Mengo clusters round the great cathedral,recently built by the Baganda under Mr. Borup’s able superintendence. This cathedral stands on one of the twin tops of Namirembe, the highest among a group of hills over which the capital is scattered. The three tall peaks by which its roof is surmounted form a striking feature in the view from any of the surrounding hills, and the cathedral itself is set off by the lower buildings which lie about it, though separated by an ample space of level ground. The boys’ and girls’ schools lie beyond the east end, while on one side is the building filled daily with numbers of candidates preparing for baptism or confirmation, and on the other side are carried on the classes for training teachers, male and female.
Of these, the young men are under Mr. Roscoe’s charge—and a heavy charge it is, considering the numbers to be trained.
