"Haas' Report for the Second Qzuarter of 1872"

The report is mostly printed as an annex to the 1872 Annual Report pp130ff. Additional material: The recruitment of scholars for the Kibi School - only one, handed over by the uncle of the ex-Akropong Middle School pupil David Kese. He also proposes Asiaman as the second Akim station on the grounds that - providing the need for a health station is not decisive - it is nearer the coast and Akwapim, food etc. is cheaper, it is on a trade route (unlike Begoro) and it is near the all Gyadam people. Though on the other hand there are more villages near Begoro than Asiaman and there may be lack of water at Asiaman at some times. In connection with the school problem he suggests the school is a hothouse plant reared before its time in Akim. The only solution is more weighty European missionary presence.
