Many missionary societies established mission schools in the
nineteenth century in the British Empire as a means to convert
non-Europeans to Christianity. Although the details, differed in
various colonial contexts, the driving ideology behind mission
schools was that Christian morality was highest form of
civilisation needed for non-Europeans to be useful members of
colonies under British rule. This comprehensive survey of
multi-colonial sites over the long time span clearly describes the
missionary paradox that to draw in pupils they needed to provide
secular education, but that secular education was seen to lead both
to a moral crisis and to anti-British sentiments. -- .
