1. Jowitt, Howard. 1934.Suggested Methods For the African School, vLondon: Longman, Green and Co. For a general discussion of this issue see Lyons, Charles H. (1975)To Wash an Aethiop White: British ideas about black African educability, 1530‐1960(New York, Teachers College Press). According to Lyons, Nunn's belief that African languages were ‘pre‐logical’ influenced the Advisory Committee to recommend educating Africans in their own vernaculars. See p. 132. This is probably an over‐simplication. While Lyons makes much of Nunn's belief in a separate African ‘mentality’ he does not note his contention that such a difference is primarily an environmental one that has created a ‘special experience’ and ‘special needs’. Whatever the case, Nunn advocated using sound European teaching methods alert to “much the same impulses and obstacles with which teaching in our own schools has made us so familiar.” See Nunn, T.
