YOUNG AFRICA GOES TO SCHOOL These West African boys and girls go to school in the cool of the morning, bearing their books on their heads - as Africans carry most things. In the bright and airy classroom, children are at work under an African teacher; another class is having a lesson in the open air beside a tree. Africans are eager to learn, and increasing efforts are being made to meet their needs. G.P.D. 491/8 PRINTED IN ENGLAND BY FOSH AND CROSS LTD., LONDON. 51-9034
