Scope and content: A rare Jamaica imprint. "Phillippo was sent to Jamaica by the Baptist Missionary Society in 1823 as one of its agents and remained there for the next 20 years, during which time he established 25 stations and churches and 17 day schools. He was a leader in the movement to encourage the negroes to become small peasant proprietors after emancipation had been effected". Though Phillippo regards moral and intellectual education as essential to the fostering and preservation of a free society, he argues here against a system of state-sponsored compulsory education. Private societies -- particularly religious ones -- can do the job best.
