Description
"Henderson Institute" (Blantyre School). Distant view of the Henry Henderson Institute, Blantyre, Nyasaland [Malawi]. The Institute was founded in 1909 and named after the man who established the mission at Blantyre. The daughter of David Livingstone, Mrs Livingstone Bruce, was present at the foundation ceremony. The immediate purpose of the institute was to produce school teachers for the district stations and coordinate the network of local village schools. The mission's print department was also sited there. African pupils were trained as teachers while undertaking their formal studies. The Institute was dedicated to the technical and vocational training of native Africans. From 1907 the colonial government started contributing small grants of money to missionary educational efforts.
