Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 11.02.1898 Proper date: 11.02.1898 Description An account of the resource In several months the new mission house should be habitable. They are building it mostly with the help of craftsmen who are only apprentices. The future garden is marked by piles of black earth and they plan a coffee plantation. The most obvious sign of progress is in their Asante schools. Altogether the number of pupils has increased from 90 to 311, and by and large though the mothers were suspicious of schools before, now they are getting more in favour of them, and ask the missionaries to see that their children are brought up good. In Kumasi the figure at the end of the year was 63, of whom 38 were Kumasi children. The top class is already reading well, and the pupils write letters to each other. They are lodging on the station - the teachers are Catechist Adayi and Teacher Okraku. There are 24 slave children remaining - at least 14 are 'girls and small children', at least 4 boys of an age to live in the school with the others. They are all now healthy, though in the school somewhat backward through having to learn Twi. With the adult slave-women comparatively little progress has been made - they have had many sad experiences with them, the nearby Hausa quarter exerts a great attraction, and they do not attend services unless constantly encouraged. Admittedly few speak Twi and the missionaries still have to use the girl Yaa as interpreter. On Christmas Day the first Kumasi baptisms were celebrated - 2 young men in their early twenties from a nearby village, an old lady who had been a sort of slave of an Asante under-chief, but had lived for a long time with her son in Akwapim, coming back to Kumasi when she heard that the missionaries were there, and has attached herself to the station with a large-part of her family. (NB the son was a Christian). They would have baptised a wife of one of the young men, but she was backward in the baptismal instruction, and her family situation was not very favourable. The first Asante baptisms had already taken place in Kumawu, where they had been warmly pressed to send a teacher by the chief, and where D. Aboagye now has 32 pupils. Three young men had been baptised there in early December. Ramseyer was very impressed with their answers at his examination, they seemed already to be speaking out of inner experiences. Aboagye warned against baptising the wife of one of them - she was somewhat quarrelsome, had only recently moved onto mission land and should be given a further trial period. She accepted this warning quietly. The mission has land in Kuwawu, Mampong, Agona, and Brodeko. The catechist who was stationed in Affidwase has been transferred to Asokorte, where he was immediately able to increase the number of pupils in the School by 201 Christmas, with a decorated tree, and presents from various Swiss bodies, was a major event. In Le Missionaire 1897 pp28-30 is a letter dd. 12 January 1898 from Mrs Ramseyer concerning the ex-slaves and the celebration of Christmas.

Teacher Mensa - to Kwaso, where he has received a friendly reception. Teacher Isaac Tete to Ahenkurow, though to date he has not been able to set up a school through the absence of the chief. Catechist Kumi to Affidwase - a fine opportunity to work with the nearby towns of Asokore and Oyoko. Catechist Akyea to Dwaso. Teacher Obeng to Nsuta, Catechist Otu, will go to Dwabeng. Ramseyer told Yaw Sarpong that to have a catechist he must be prepared to find 30 pupils. He has also, because of the lack of helpers, and the lateness of their arrival, appointed two Abetifi Christian evangelists - Emm. Agyei and Stefano Abankwa. These people were graduates of the Abetifi school, had shown, signs of inner life, and were in Kumasi in connection with trading. He sent them initially to Nsuta and Dweso, and since the arrival of the proper staff, Hall sent Abankwa to Kwamang, and Agyei either to Bomasi (Boamang?) or Ankaase or Abrodeku.

He visited Juaso (Dweso) now ruled by the queen-mother and some elders in the absence of the chief, exiled with Prempeh. He had been one of Prempeh’s main supporters, and a firm opponent of the English policies. The catechist is very welcome in Kwafo, except among a few of the older people who long for the majestic things of their pagan days. Only 20 pupils have been gathered for the school, however, and there are as yet no baptismal candidates. In Kwaaso there were 16 pupils in the school – Ramseyer pressed for at least 30. En route from Juaso to Kwaaso they passed through a number of villages, the biggest of which was called Sienimpong. They passed 5 small villages on bowomtwe before arriving at Brodekoano, The first of these was called Obo. There is a large population around Bosomtwi. En route for Kumasi from Bosomtwi, he reports that he visited Kokofuo. The town is in ruins and the people scattered in Akim, but the chief had visited him in Kumasi and begged for a teacher at least for later. He found him building a temporary house. Gyasan is an Asante from Afidwa who had been a member of the Abetifi for a long time - more than ten years before he had had to be excluded, but later had married a friendly wife and since then had lived to the missionaries’ great satisfaction.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Date early: 16.08.1897 Proper date: 16.08.1897 Description An account of the resource Throughout the second part of 1896 and the first part of 1897 there is a running struggle going on between Ramseyer and the Gold Coast Standing Committee over the supply of more staff for Asante. In 1896 this was particularly concerned with the posting of fresh local agents into Asante and the supply of more European missionaries. In the first half of 1897 the struggle was more in terms of the need for female assistance for Mrs. Ramseyer, Ramseyer pressing for Perregaux being posted to Kumasi (this seems to have been negatived in Basel), then for any female assistance and two or three months taken up with an administrative tangle in which the proposal to send un unmarried woman to Kumasi mas made by Basel through the wrong channels and being opposed by Müller on the grounds of too little space in Kumasi took some time to work out. In July, too, Zellweger applied for a transfer to Kumawu - he is a mass of nerves he claims, and evidently he could not find his metier at Kumasi and that was his main problem - as Ramseyer pointed out when he asked for more time to go on preaching journeys, he could very well preach in a radius of 1-1 1/2 hours from Kumasi in his existing pattern of activity.
