"Mischlich to Basel"

At the end of a report about his return journey to Africa are the following points: - During his furlough he learned soldering. He has a picture of the Kaiser and his wife in his house. He remarks that it is no good beating school children a lot and claims that parents fear their children in Buem, and sometimes when a child has been heavily punished it hangs itself. - In the Worawora school they have 4 from Woraworao, 4 from the rest of Buem, one each from Akwapim Anum and Krakye, 4 from Adele, and 5 freed slaves. These latter were sent by the colonial government. He remarks that the emancipation of slaves has not yet been proclaimed in Buem, and that slave caravans are said to pass Worawora without making any clear reference to the need for a change in colonial policy.
