"Buck on the Kibi School"

One of the school teachers had been called to Accra for the case against Ata. Buck's way of finding out how things had gone during the absence of himself and one of the teachers was to order a quick inspection of clothes and books. The results were fairly good. The half year's clothes are still cut out by the teachers and sewn by the senior boys. Buck was almost completely satisfied with the half year's examination - only the progress of the two youngest classes in arithmetic concerned him. Two pupils were able to proceed to the Akropong Middle School and did so: Samuel Tawia from Asuum and James Wusu from Kukarantumi. A third, William Amanee, returned to his home town without explanation though he could have gone on to the Middle School. At the opening of the new school year they had been surprised by the re-appearance of Asubo, the son of a Juaben man, who had been taken away from the school the year before and they had heard had been prevented by force from returning. On his return he explained that he had made so much fuss and so many pleas that in the end he had been allowed to return to school.
