"I shall miss, I know I shall, and then I shall get marked again!" "Percy! Perseverance!" called the voice again,a somewhat high but very pleasant and kindly voice. "Come here, my dear, I want to see you!" "There now! Aunt Zoe will want me to do some errand or other, I know, and what will become of my lesson!" said Percy, impatiently, closing her book, and rising. "I am sure I wouldnt mind, only for missing!" She went slowly up-stairs to the room from whence the voice proceeded, and uttered a cry of delight, as she beheld Aunt Zoe holding up a large folio like a scrapbook, which she seemed to have just taken from the depths of a great chest she was rummaging. "Mothers book of drawings! Oh, how glad I am! I felt sure I never should see them again!" "Well, you were worrying for nothing, you see, child, for here they are all safe and sound. I thought all the time they would turn up; and this morning I happened to think I had never taken the things out of this chest. So I went to work at it, and here is the book all right. What are you doing?" "Learning my geography, aunt." "But I thought you learned that Saturday night." "I was going to, but Louise wanted me to help her clear off the table and wash the dishes, and then" "And then she ran away and left you to do the whole, I suppose?" said Aunt Zoe, as Percy paused. "That is her way exactly. Now, Percy, there is one thing I am going to tell you, and you must mind me. You must not indulge Louise by doing her work for her. She will shirk quite enough without any help from you, and you are only doing her an injury."</p>...1616996Percys Holidays: Borrowing Trouble104116https://www.gandhi.com.mx/fetichism-in-west-africa-forty-years-observations-of-native-customs-and-superstitions-2/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/626288/62e10536-31a6-4945-9dbb-81b257b18467.jpg?v=638432496035930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781465511638_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_<p>That stream of the Negro race which is known ethnologically as Bantu, occupies all of the southern portion of the African continent below the fourth degree of north latitude. It is divided into a multitude of tribes, each with its own peculiar dialect. All these dialects are cognate in their grammar. Some of them vary only slightly in their vocabulary. In others the vocabulary is so distinctly different that it is not understood by tribes only one hundred miles apart, while that of others a thousand miles away may be intelligible. In their migrations the tribes have been like a river, with its windings, currents swift or slow; there have been even, in places, back currents; and elsewhere quiet, almost stagnant pools. But they allfrom the Divala at Kamerun on the West Coast across to the Kiswahile at Zanzibar on the East, and from Buganda by the Victoria Nyanza at the north down to Zulu in the south at the Capehave a uniformity in language, tribal organization, family customs, judicial rules and regulations, marriage ceremonies, funeral rites, and religious beliefs and practice. Dissimilarities have crept in with mixture among themselves by intermarriage, the example of foreigners, with some forms of foreign civilization and education, degradation by foreign vice, elevation by Christianity, and compulsion by foreign governments. As a description of Bantu sociology, I give the following outline which was offered some years ago, in reply to inquiries sent to members of the Gabun and Corisco Mission living at Batanga, by the German Government, in its laudable effort to adapt, as far as consistent with justice and humanity, its Kamerun territorial government to the then existing tribal regulations and customs of the tribes living in the Batanga region. This information was obtained by various persons from several sources, but especially from prominent native chiefs, all of them men of intelligence. In their general features these statements were largely true also for all the other tribes in the Equatorial Coast region, and for most of the interior Bantu tribes now pressing down to the Coast. They were more distinctly descriptive of Batanga and the entire interior at the time of their formulation. But in the ten years that have since passed, a stranger would find that some of them are no longer exact. Foreign authority has removed or changed or sapped the foundations of many native customs and regulations, while it has not fully brought in the civilization of Christianity. The result in some places, in this period of transition, has been almost anarchy,making a despotism, as under Belgian misrule in the so-called Kongo Free State; or commercial ruin, as under French monopoly in their Kongo-Franais; and general confusion, under German hands, due to the arbitrary acts of local officials and their brutal black soldiery.</p>(*_*)9781465511638_<p>Oh, dear me! said a pale, thin little girl, all black hair and brown eyes, who was sitting on the door-step, studying with all her might.
