Through individual teaching and the use
of records, anthropological students have been
given during these past two years a far more
effective preparation for their work.
It has been the aim of the school to raise the
level of the teaching of African and Asiatic languages
to that of modern European language
teaching, and to apply to that end all the means
and devices available for furthering research and
increasing the efficiency of teaching. The students
in the Department of Languages and Cultures
of Africa, of the School of Oriental Studies,
include missionaries, doctors, anthropologists,
and political and educational civil servants, who
will be responsible for administration and education
in Africa; the highly trained staff of experts
now in charge of the teaching is the first assembled
in this field.
