Description
"Punctually at 7.a.m. the bell goes and all is bustle for the beginning of the days work. The small boys line up on one of the roads, where Mrs Watson calls the roll, and then they are set to clean the dormitories, sweep the roads, and other work. At 9, after morning prayers they go to the School, and are there till 12.30. At two o'clock the afternoon bell is rung, and from then till 4.30 they are sent to work in the gardens under Mr. Allan." Exterior view showing school children lined up before the start of the school day. ❧ "This Lecture was prepared by Dr J.W. Arthur in October 1911 on his voyage to Mombasa. The set of slides is the gift to the Kikuyu Mission of the Young Peoples Meeting at the Burgh Hall, Hillhead, of which he was for many years a member." A green folder marked 'Kikuyu' and containing lecture notes and relevant photographs to accompany lantern slides.
