3rd December, 1947.

Dr. Ray Phillips*19 ihleanor street,

m wifiv,n lfiim w p i*

Dear Dr* Phillipa,

The very generous offer made by The Bantu flfelfare Trust regarding

finding a competent geologist to exemine and report on th* mineral resources of

this country seems to have made little or no impression on the Beohuanaland

Protectorate Government* I have made many attests to get the Goverment inter*

ested in Colonel Donaldson* s offer but it seems as if the Goverment i»i another

scheme in vie* on the eame work* and it may be considered that Colonel Donaldson*s

suggestions out across their scheme. I personally think that it is a very great

mistake to have let this chance pass*

On the assumption that the suggestion has been turned down* it seems to

■e a great pity that Beohuanaland should not avail Itself of the offer for assist-

anas made by Colonel Donaldson* and ay mind has turned to sens other proposition.

X believe I have* at one time or another* spoken to you about tbs

sscondary school which my Tribe, the Bamangwate* are establishing in Beohuanaland.

This sill be the first and at present the only Sscondary School in the country.

The Immediate capital expenditure for this project was estimated at about £100*000,

but because of our tribal coinnunal effort (free transport of materiala etc. by tri­

bal wagons etc.* as well as free tribal unskilled labour)* it is now estimated to

cost about £55*000. The tribe has raissd the funds unaided by the Goverment and

to-day funds are available to oarry out the project at this figure.

The school is to provids tuition for (a) the full five years secondary

education* (b) advanced domestic science course and (e) full agricultural training,

is are not eatiafied with the elementary courssa given at Fort Cox and her sister

agricultural eehools catering for the African people* for there we find that the trai

ing given only fits those in training to work under the supervision of someone and it

is our sad experience that lads trained at these schools are entirely lost when left

to themsslves. It is , therefore, our desire that the training at this school should

give the type of education which will create in the mind of the etudents the ambition

-I 2 l-

to become self-reliant in whatever calling they pursue. The original intention

was to provide at this sohool also the technical and a trades school| but due to

lack of funds it is not possible to make a start on this course of study at this

stage*

would the Bantu Welfare Trust consider making a grant towards this pro*

ject> i .e . the establishment of the teohnieal and trades sohool? Such a grant

would be expected to finance the putting up of the buildings» provide equipment

and the maintaining of two instructors * an European and an African assistant.

If there is any likelihood of the Bantu welfare Trust giving serious consideration

to such an application* I could work out details of capital cost including equip­

ment and the maintenance of the two instructors, and submit these for consideration

Such a grant could either be made to the B.P. Government > earmarked for

the "Bamangwato See> ndary Sohool" # or direct to The Bamangwato Tribal Treasury

which is supervised and audited by the Government auditor* In the former case,

the B .P. Government would hand the gffant over to the Bamangwato Tribal Treasury*

Tour views on the above proposal would be greatly appreciated•

/ith personal greetings»

Tours sincerely»
