education at these schools when the last census was taken. This mission 

 congratulates itself on the success it has recently met with in training 

 native women to be teachers in village schools. These subsidiary centres 

 of instruction given through native teachers are said to amount to as 

 many as 700. There is a kind of native college established at Kisubi, 

 from which important results in education are expected. Teaching is 

 given to pupils of superior intelligence in Latin and in English, in 

 arithmetic and geography. A certain amount of Kiswahili is being taught 

 to those ])Upils who may be likely to obtain positions as interpreters. A 

 gymnasium has been erected at Kisubi, close to the lake shore. In 

 a canal which is thought to be secure from the attacks of crocodiles or 

 hi})})0})otanmses swininiing is taught, and exercise in })addling canoes 

 takes place. On the greens attached to the educational institute^ at the 

 same place, football, single-stick, and other games are encouraged. 



The Englisji Roman Catholic Mission, under the able direction of 

 the Kight Kev. Henry Ilanlon, I). I)., Bishop of Teos and Apostolical 

 Vicar of the I'pper Nile, has lieen too short a time in existence to have 

 been able to produce the results attained by the Anglican and French 

 Missions already described. The Mill Hill Mission is most strongly 

 represented in Busoga, though it has also stations in the eastern part of 

 the Kingdom of I'ganda and at the cajiitai, Mengo, The Fathers of this 

 mission are chiefly Englisli, irisji, and Dutch. Bishop Hanlon i'^ entrusted 

 with the education of the two lu)nian Catholic princes of the Uganda 

 royal fiimily, who stand verv near to the throne in line of succession. 

 There is some idea, I believe, of Bishop Hanlon's work being extended 

 in the eastern and central parts of tlie Protectorate, where at present no 

 attempt has been made to carry on a Christian propaganda. 



As regards Islam, its recognised head in the Kingdom of Uganda is 

 the Prince Mbogo, son of Suna, a former king of Uganda, and great- 

 uncle of the little king. In the religious settlement which was commenced 

 b}^ Sir Gerald Portal and terminated by the work of my Special Commission, 

 a district of Uganda (Butambala) was set apart for Muhammadans to 

 settle in (without prejudice to Christians), and its administration is 

 entrusted to one of the recognised chiefs of districts who is a Muhammadan. 

 A large mosque has recently been built at ^lengo by Prince ^Ibogo, and 

 mosques exist elsewhere in the Protectorate where there is any community 

 of Moslems who desire to establish a place of worship. Besides the 

 District of Butambala and suburbs of ]Mengo and Entebbe in Uganda 

 proper, ^luhammadans are chiefly concentrated in the south-eastern 

 division of Ankole, in parts of Busoga and Unyoro, in the vicinity of 

 the River Nile in the Nile Province, and in the country of Latuka.
