About this book

In this 1863 paper Florence Nightingale asks whether European schooling affected the health of native children in the colonies. It rests on returns from 143 schools in Ceylon, Australia, Natal, the West Coast of Africa and British North America, with an average attendance of 9,938 children, and sets out deaths of boys and girls by age in tables. She admits the figures are thin and uses them to show how little colonial statistics had yet developed. The inquiry grew from a talk with Sir George Grey and a request to the Colonial Office.
