add to cart   close window

Africa is at present revealing itself to Europeans as a land which must be dealt with in a scientific rather than a haphazard manner. Darkest Africa is becoming the "normal Africa of economic wealth, beautiful scenery, and human potentialities." It is in this spirit of friendliness that there has been carried out under the auspices of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, a study of the sociological, economic, and interracial conditions below the Sahara. The British Colonial Office created the Advisory Committee and established Achimota College following the commission's first report in 1923. The article presents excerpts from the official report.
