Abstract
WHILE MUCH has been written in recent years about African attitudes toward education, little has been published regarding the reactions of Africans to the initial introduction of western-type schools. The following attempts to describe and explain initial African reactions toward this in the Congo. The survey is reconstructed from an analysis of some 500 volumes of missionary letters, diaries, and reports-only in part published-covering the first thirty years of contact with western culture. Despite the lack of primary African sources,' it is hoped that some insight can be gained with regard to an important segment of educational history.
