South African missionaries, who run over ninety percent of the native schools will probably continue teaching, but the curriculum, now dictated by Daniel Malan's Native Affairs Ministry, must change from education to propaganda for acceptance of segregation policies. To prevent any inter-racial mingling, the government will stop teaching any of the European tongues used in South Africa. This will no doubt widen the color gap, but it will leave teachers struggling to make the few texts written in Bantu fulfill their needs. And in this language...
