EDUCATION IN THE FREE STATE

Dr. Viljoen, speaking at a Normal College function at Bloemfontein, said that the 1914 session closed with some 300 vacancies, and the Department was at its wits’ end to know how to find the teachers. A large number of the vacancies had been caused by a plurality of circumstances on which he would not dilate. During the recess 300 appointments of teachers had been made by the Department of that Province. The great majority were, of course, temporary, as virtually the whole of the northern districts were disorganized, and many Committees and School Boards were non-existent. The Department still had to make about 250 appointments.

A peculiarity of the Swaziland natives is that they do not make voluntary use of the services of the medical officers. Even when treatment is given by doctors, the patient often consults and follows the advice of a native medicine man.
