Collection: The West Indies in Records from Colonial Missionaries, 1704-1950 Volumes E series of original missionary reports, 1901–1950
This volume contains an almost complete set of quarterly reports from the period. There was a widespread belief among missionaries that schools should help alleviate social ills, such as poverty, as well as declining church membership, in addition to providing education. Island administrations were, however, unsympathetic towards church schools. The SPG also faced competition from other denominations.
