EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment when boys from the Church Missionary Society Grammar School in Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, proudly march out of their institution in the early 1910s. Established in 1834, the CMS Grammar School was a leading educational institution in the region, founded by the Church Missionary Society, a British Christian missionary organization. The boys, dressed in their crisp school uniforms, wear straw boaters and carry banners bearing the school's insignia. The photograph showcases the grandeur of the school buildings, with their imposing architecture and red-tiled roofs, reflecting the British colonial influence in Sierra Leone at the time. The boys' determined marching stance and focused expressions convey their dedication to their education, as they prepare to embark on another day of learning. The Church Missionary Society played a significant role in the development of education in Sierra Leone, with the CMS Grammar School being one of its most prominent achievements. The institution produced many influential figures in Sierra Leonean society, including politicians, business leaders, and intellectuals, who went on to shape the country's future. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the rich history of education in Sierra Leone and the impact of the Church Missionary Society's missionary work in the region.
