(ii) The man thought he had been poisoned by two men - and Kwabi sent into the town to inform the chief of this. (iii) The town however is in uproar because of the number of deaths in the last 4 months – 115 or more - and regard the Christians presence as partly responsible, Dilger's comment is that it is sad to see a town where they once had high hopes. The whole town used to come to street preaching, and it was so quiet you could imagine yourself in a church in Europe - given over in this way – on the first onset of smallpox they brought the sore-ridden corpses into the town dancing around them. Though he also comments that there is news that a fetish priest has announced that he wants to attend baptismal instruction.

He found there a tiny starving baby, the mother had died at its birth, and no-one had been found to nurse it not even for money. Dilger offered to send milk for it, though it died a week after. He is downcast by the fact that no-one troubled to inform the missionaries about what was happening earlier although Christians were constantly visiting the house. The mother was a slave, the elder describing her as his daughter.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 22.09.1881 Proper date: 22.09.1881 Description An account of the resource The journey took place about 10 days after his return from Begoro in the new year. He reports that part of his visit which concerned the independent province (of Asante-Akim), not under Asante. An embassy had come to them asking them for a teacher, and saying that 6 children had already been gathered for a school, and a place set aside for a teacher's house. One of the members of this embassy returned in the Company of Dilger, in order to show him the way. They passed through the Kwahu towns of Obo, Akwasino, and Akwaboa, spending the night in the latter. His people were concerned because Dilger had fever, but he took a dose of quinine and sweated out during the night. After two hours the next day, they crossed the Pra. 4 huts stand on its left bank judging by the ruins not long ago there must have been a few more. At 5 p.m. they reached Asuboa after a slow trek. Asuboa is not the capital town, but next to it. He remarks that the people of Asante-Akim are one the average-poor, and some of them are very poor. Asuboa is an example of this – they have poor huts which only offer scanty shelter, there is no source of livelihood, other than growing their own foods; indeed he saw no meat being eaten and sometimes the people have no salt. He spent two nights in Asuboa, and this gave opportunity to talk to the people (converse) till late in the nights. They were impressed with the biblical history which was related to them, and Dilger had the impression that it was a ‘real balsam’ to them. They also visited Dampong, one hour away, where they were received with friendliness. The women were very interested to see a real white men, the chief dashed them a hen and some eggs, and when the gift of 1 shilling from the fetish priest (a young man) was refused on the ground that they needed no token of his real friendship there, was considerable commotion to find a hen instead. En route from Asuboa to Bombata they passed the tiny village of Asankare, where Dilger felt he had never read so clearly in peoples' faces a train of sufferings. They have broken free from Asante, a fear day and night that they will be surprised by them. They had been met by an emissary of the Bombata chief on their way, who conducted them to the town, the capital of the district. There they were naked to wait under a shady tree until the chief was ready to greet them - they had to wait a long time while other chiefs who came to greet them by degrees were assembled. They made the same offer to him which had already been made by the embassy which had visited Abetifi, and Dilger replied making his position clear. In the evening he had a large body of hearers when he preached. He asked the old fetish priest if he agreed with the invitation and he said that he wanted what was good too, and if he changed his mind the people would not change their minds simply as a result – they would do what they wanted. General information on Bompata offered by Dilger: they were planting no yams out of fear, of Asante attack. They had come from Amantra, and before the town was established in Bopmata there was only a hunter's hut called Bombata. The next day they passed through Adomfe. Dilger was impressed by this as a nice town, lying on a small hill, its true size not revealed as one approaches from North or South, as the bulk of it lies along a hill with an East-West axis. This he feels would be a good site for an outstation, preferable to Bompata in that there were no hills suitable for an outstation in Bompata, furthermore as an immigrant settlement, the people of Bompata might one day simply move off to somewhere else. The people of Adomfe on the other hand were living there before Asantehene existed. In Komfa they received a very, friendly welcome, near Guansa they heard there was a large town called Domeabra which they missed visiting through an error. As they were leaving, Guansa 4 ambassadors of the Avantehene arrived there with the mission by cunning or bribes to win one chief away from the others, and again to declare himself under Asante. They hoped to do this by persuading people to destool an existing chief in return for money. Therefore Dilger hurried away rather than be drawn into giving the people of Guansa any advice. They made Kyekyebiase a base from which they visited Peteriensa and Abima. The latter is the village of the king of Asante-Akim. He came into Kyekyebiase to be present at their preaching there. At Kyekyebiase they were joined by the Asante ambassadors. One of Dilger’s party went to visit them, but they said to him that their Word was a true one, but they served the King of Asante and wanted none of it. From Kyekyebiase they travelled to Mooso, passing on the way excellent farms bordering a good path. The people of Mooso wanted no preaching. In Nankyi they were received in a very friendly way: on the march his thoughts had been in Basel and he remembered the prayer spoken every Sunday by Pfarrer Miville concerned with the three things creation, resurrection and the coming of the Holy Ghost, so he preached on those three point. From Nankyi they returned to Bombata, and so eventually home. On the last stretch of the march to Abetifi they were called back by a young man who had decided to become a Christian. Finally Dilger transmits to the Committee the Asante-Akim request for a teacher, but says he cannot support it. Such a man would be a palavar-settler primarily, and until Asante-Akim is part of the protectorate and the English are in Kumasi, it would be best not to establish a station there. However, he would like permission to make a twice-yearly visit to Asante-Akim in order to keep in touch with the people.

The first account he heard was that Kumasi had fought the other states, the latter wanting to reinstate Karikari as Asantehene. 600 people had died in the battle, The second account (in Bompata) was more circumstantial. Karikari commmanded the Nsutahene Yaw Akroma to take prisoners chiefs Boakye Tengteng, Adubofo, Ba Opoku, Sana Opoku, Hyeawu Boakye, Yaw Kara; meanwhile he was to make arrangements with the young men. Instead of that the Nsutahene held Karikari himself prisoner but he then committed suicide. Following which a battle had taken place in which 1000 people had died.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 11.04.1882 Proper date: 11.04.1882 Description An account of the resource Mainly an administrative discussion. He had been told during the year that the Abetifi School had at its disposal a large capital - over £20. In fact he had found it in debt to the tune of £13. The explanation seems to have been that excessive quantities of school materials etc. had been bought, paper, e.g. which the boys do not need since they use exercise books, and a large quantity of steel pen holders (which had rusted), also carpets. Also the clothes being sent out for the boys are not suitable, and clothes are a very important aspect of the 'bringing-up' which the mission is attempting. His policy has been to make learning something which the boys would value, and through them the people would value it also. To this end he has taken over more teaching than he should, and Dako and Koranteng are sent out more on preaching trips. As a result the numbers of scholars rose from 12 to 18 by the end of the year, and to 29 by the date of this report. The increase must have been mostly in younger boys, since he says that next Christmas they will need only 5 larger suits.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 17.01.1884 Proper date: 17.01.1884 Description An account of the resource 2 pupils died during the year - one Ramseyer's houseboy, another an ordinary schoolboy, as yet unbaptised, though Dilger writes in his modesty and patience more of a Christian than some baptised boys. In writing about Ramseyer’s houseboy’s death, Dilger contrasts the peace and joy and heavenly fight of his deathbed with the comfortlessness, wild, indeed comical conduct of his relatives at the graveside. Two boys left the school under unsatisfactory circumstances - one of the seduced one of Dilger's maids. The remaining pupils are young - indeed some are quite small, which makes the running of the school much easier. Many of them have heathen parents, and the problem remains of leading them to conversion. The school itself does not convert - that depends on the individual. In terms of scholarly achievement he has a spread of results from outstandingly good to rather backward (the latter among the very young). They are slow to send the latter away since to go to school is to become a Christian in local eyes. Half the Kwahu community is composed of past and present scholars, Teacher Koranteng has been suspended. The new catechist is a men whom they can be thankful to have - he counts his calling a real honour. He and his wife are modest and self-effacing - the mission should give them the respect they deserve.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 17.03.1884 Proper date: 17.03.1884 Description An account of the resource The first stop on the journey was Akwasiho at the foot of the scarp near Obo - where the chief offered to board Dilger and Kwabi in his owe house, but Dilger refused on the grounds that it was a hospital for lepers. Shortly before they entered Praso the next day they met men carrying a corpse in a basket (back to his home town presumably) and in Praso they met two women who had tended the dead man. These at first were afraid to stay in Praso because of a fear of the dead man's ghost, and also because they feared that if the missionary party fished in the Pra the fetish would kill them. However Dilger and his companions seem to have argued them out of this idea quite easily. They were involved in. preparing food for them. Dilger's party made a sort of bridge for themselves over the Pra. Next day to Asuboa (a theme common to these days is that it was raining, and Dilger arrived at night well ahead of the carriers and to avoid sitting in his wet clothes had to borrow a cloth either from the catechist or from the locals until his dry clothes arrived). At Asuboa they received a welcome from many people in the form of gifts of feed. Dilger preached on the text 'I am the way' and used the metaphor of the bad paths which he had had to walk along en route to Asuboa. In Bompata a friendly welcome, ‘even’ from the fetish priest. In reply to Dilger's questions about the stationing of a catechist, the chief replied that when a teacher arrived they would build him a house provided the other towns took their part; and if they moved to Amantra they would take him with them. (It is not clear whether the latter point emerged spontaneously or in reply to a question of Dilger). Dilger writes that he feels they should certainly not choose Bompeta for a mission station. They had intended to travel via Wankyi to Joaso but were visited by three Kwahus who had been trying to get a relative of theirs released from the block in Adompe. This man had been on a journey, and when he did not return a search was instituted by his family which led to his being found in the block in this town. Dilger consented to intervene, on the condition that the 3 Kwahus stayed outside the town. Inside Adompe he found an enraged populace; it is not clear what hold he had over them but the man was released next day. It partly seems a matter of his posing: he writes about trying to make the man responsible for the imprisonment fearful, and after an initial investigation he left the palavar to his catechist and carriers and walked around the town quietly smoking. It also seems however, that the townspeople were shocked that because of this panyarrying he refused to preach there. He also had the advantage that one of his carriers recognised the man who had had the Kwahu imprisoned as someone who had stolen something from him when they were both travelling in Fante. Part of the settlement was that Dilger promised to try to ensure that the Kwahu who was in debt with the Adompe man involved did in fact pay the debt. (During an interval in these affairs he preached in Kurofa) Next day via Wankyi to Joaso (presumably - spelt Guaso here). This is three villages in fact, one of them on the Obogu road; one of theta on the Konongo road. They spent the night in the former, where the chief remarked that when the missionaries had a station in Asante Akim, everyone would be free to believe what he wanted. Dilger remarked in return that they would not force people to become Christians, and that history showed that thousands of people who felt as he felt found that they were persuaded by God without their own will acting - God himself had converted them. Next day they went to Obogu where, discussing the question of a Basel Mission station, the chief said that he would have nothing to do with co-operation with Asante Akim. The catechist from Kibi could come and preach in his town. Next day to Konongo, where they did not receive a warm welcome, and the king seeks to have acted more ceremoniously and more formally towards them. The following day they visited 3 of the 25 Odumase villages (one of them being the residence of the Odumase chief), and then on to Patriensa (the only mention of Asante so far is the statement that Konongo was the frontier town and the king took some of his ceremonial from what he must have seen in Kumasi). Patriensa used to be built on three hills - now they have gathered together into a very pretty village on one hill. The following day again they travelled via Obima and Kyekyebiase to Dwiransa. There is some new material on Kumawu - he tried collecting stories as the significance of the name, and heard the story about the Kum tree which died; also that when Kumase was built Kumaswu was the model, but thereafter had to change its name; also that when God was distributing people in the forest with axes the man he put down in Kumawu broke his axe, and so the town is really called 'the broken axe' (Kuma-abu). They marched from Kumawu to Agogo in one days passing only small hamlets, and hunter's houses. In the second part of the march apparently most of the inhabitants of such settlements turned out not to be able to speak twi, being 'donkos’. In Agogo they had to wait a long time to meet the Agogohene - he was making fetish. Dilger remarks on meeting his fine silk cloth, and much gold on the fingers. Dilger here preached in English, Kwabi translating into Twi (He adds that when he is tired and has a catechist with him who is familiar with English and Twi, he prefers to preach in English as it is less demanding to do so.). The Agogohene appears to have asked him to preach on one of the texts which he had used in Kumawu. Returning from Agogo they marched direct to Abene taking five hours the first days after which they had to sleep in the forest, and 10 hours the next. He was, he remarks, glad to be back in his homeland.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 16.03.1882 Proper date: 16.03.1882 Description An account of the resource Dilger criticises the teaching methods practiced by the local teachers, and his own statement of priorities. The local teachers, as far as he is able to judge, know very little about handling a subject in an exciting and interesting way nor do they understand that for children a subject cannot be treated in details as it should ideally, (it has to be cut down in such a way) as to make it something the children love, and something which they can value. They don't realise you have to make things concrete for children. They regard teaching as pouring information down as funnel in order to make information sausages each day. At the end of the report naming the Abetifi teachers Dilger says that Dako although little gifted is an outstanding teacher, and really does bring the pupils forward. Dilger also comments that parents are still unwilling to send their children to school in Abetifi.
