SMALL BUT NEWSY Devoted to the Religious, the Educational, and the Industrial Development of the Colored Race Vol. IV. EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES IN SOUTH AFRICA Lr ■ Capetown, South Africa, Oct. 23d. In a report of Dr. Viljoen, Superintendent of Education for he emphasized the the difficulties encountered by his department in securing funds and preachers. There are at present in Cape Providence, under the depart ment of Education, 2524 schools for European pupils, 426 schools for colored pupils, of which 409 are under church mission control, and 1502 native schools. There are certain numbers of Earpean industrial schools in Cape Providence, which are one of the costliest branches of edm» cation. As these schools arejw der control of the Union Govern .V* ment as well as the Provincial Administration, there has been difficulty in organizing them on a uniform basis. With regard to non-European education, Dr. Viljoen says there is an even greater need of re orir and process than is the ease with European schools. There are 48,809 colored pupils under the department, and 117.776 native pupils. The colored schools in Cape Town are overcrow deci, so that in one school plan is being tried of teaching in “shifts” us three hours each. EAT AT W. H.
