| Description | Part of a letter to the Committee of Society of Friends from Fairfield, Mandeville, Jamaica. Report on state of schools with reference to Lancasterian system (though they would have preferred to use Stow's system). Before taking up this position he was based in Antigua. In the parish of Manchester, St. Elizabeth Westmorland, and St. James's they have 22 schools in their care. Although they are fee paying schools they do not turn away those who don't pay. Teaching to read the Bible the most important thing - everything else comes second. |
