By JAMES BOW
From C a p e t o w n to Cairo,
through "Darkest Africa," is a
journey which may bring to mind
dark steaming jungles, hostile
tribes, charging herds of wild
beasts, and strange tropical fe-
vers.
Prof. Douglas D. Crary of the
geography department an'd his
family made this journey last
year, bringing back impressions
and experiences which seem to
contradict this picture of the
"Dark Continent."
Prof. Crary disproved this Hol-
lywood concept of Africa by driv-
ing through the continent on
roads which he compared to Am-
erican highways of thirty-five or
forty years ago.
The Crarys traveled in a truck,
converted with extra windows
and airplane seats to a heavy-
duty station wagon.
They stopped at numerous ho-
tels, inns, and rest houses, located
from the Union of South Africa to
Egypt.
After disposing of the truck in
East Africa, they traveled by
plane, rail, and boat and spent
a month journeying down the Nile
by river-boat and launch, switch-
ing to automobile and train tray
el ten times in order to avoid the
Nile's rapids.
Safaris Sell Danger
Prof. Crary commented on the
dangers of commercial African sa-
faris, which, he added, "sell the
narrow escape to wealthy tour-
ists."
He described' only one narrow
escape when a rhinoceros charged
the car, stuck in the mud, in
which his wife and daughter were
trapped.
"The rhino missed by two feet,
but could have turned the car
over."
Prof. Crary's description of Af-
rica, in his own -words, "breaks
down the Stanley-Livingstone
concept which is still popular"
and provides a glimpse of the
present-day continent and her
peoples.
Africans Not Primitive
In ten months and 20,000 miles
of travel, Prof. Crary was able to
observe the native Africans in
many nations, were not "hostile
tribes," but some even self-gov-
erning as in the Sudan.
The Union of South Africa, he
described, was a "beautiful but
unhappy land," with millions of
natives living on inadequate reser-
vations.
Johannesburg he called a "busy,
glittering city," yet with queues of
natives four abreast and three

blocks long waiting for buses to
take them to their "locations."
Belgian Attitude Different
Different from the Afrikkaners,
or Dutch descendants who hold
the political majority in South
Africa, the Belgians have anoth-
er attitude in ruling their native
population in the Congo.
Although Europeans are out-
numbered 100 to 1 in the Belgian
Congo, Prof. Crary commented
that there is no racial problem.
The Belgians maintain a colony,
he added, and are not afraid of
colonialism.
At the same time, they are
training natives in various techni-
cal skils, although not giving
them positions of much responsi-
bliity.
Prof. Crary added that the Bel-
gians realize the natives will even-
tually gain influence in the Con-
go, and they are now marking
time.
Visit Pygmies
In the Congo, the Crarys drove
through the Ituri Forest, the land
of the primitive pygmy tribes,
and, in contrast to their surround-
ings, stayed in a small inn "with
excellent French cuisine."
In Uganda, northeast of the
Congo, the Crarys left their car
and crossed Lake Victoria by bush
plane.
This land, although a British
protectorate, is a native state with
a king living in the capital city
of Kampala.
Golf Course in Uganda
Prof. Crary added color to hisI
descrpition of Uganda by telling
of its European capital, Entebbe,
and its spacious, well-trimmed
lawns and excellent golf course
bordering on Lake Victoria in
the heart of "Darkest Africa."
When questioned about the
land of their destination, Prof.
Crary described Nasser's rule in
Egypt as a "temporary thing,"
and cited a genuine desire among
Egyptians to become a "respected
member in the family of nations."
"Planning Together for Better
School Buildings" was the topic
discussed by 350 Michigan educa-
tors and architects at a Univer-
sity conference yesterday.
Importance of studying the past
history of school buildings to un-
derstand the future was stressed
by main speaker Samuel Brownell,
Detroit superintendent of schools.
"When we look at what will be
25 years ahead, I think it would
be well to look at what we were
doing 25 years ago," Brownell said.
There has been much progress
in the school buildings built in
the past 25 years, he mentioned.
"But I think that we need to re-
member that tomorrow's children
will have the same characteristics
as those of today.
"Much of what goes on in edu-
cation," he said, "will be similar
to today's education and this flex-
ibility (in building) we have been
talking about as so desirable will
be a flexibility in which we util-
ize the new knowledge which we
gain and adapt it to changing
conditions."
"For the most part," Brownell
continued, "we will have to put
the same elements into education
which were used by our grand-
take place within the present
framework in order not to "feel
in danger of ruining the next
generation."
"I don't think it is a question,"
Brownell concluded, "of a tailor-
made school for a particular com-
munity or a mass-produced school.,
"We have made progress in cars
not by having eacn car different
from any other car. It's the com-
bined efforts of many people that
have helped to bring many im-
provements within the range of
all of us."
