Quote from Lord Lugard 1919 About the Establishment of Kings College Lagos.

"Government Schools in Southern Nigeria.- King's College, Lagos,

with a staff of three British masters, afforded the highest and most

expensive education for the sons of leading natives, or for boys of

marked ability who had obtained scholarships. Some of its pupils

completed their education in England, and entered the professions of

law and medicine. It was not a boarding school. In the two boarding

schools at Warri and Bonny, adult "apprentices" were associated with

small boys, with bad results. They were under no indentures, and the

Heads of Technical Departments found that their manual training had

all to be begun afresh when they came to the workshops with

power-driven machinery. The average attendance at these two schools

in 1913 was 151 apprentices and 187 boys.

Three Moslem schools in the Colony, and 48 other elementary or

primary schools under native instructors, where carpentry and

agriculture, etc., were taight, completed the list of Government

schools, with an average attendance of 4,200."
