- Date Issued:
- 1966
- Summary:
- In 1900 Commander Benjamin F. Tilley, then in administrative charge of the Samoan Islands for the United States Navy, found a greater degree of literacy among the Samoan people in their own language than among Americans in the United States in the English language. The missionaries had pioneered in furthering education in Samoa for the main purpose of training native pastors and they made great numbers of the people highly literate in their own tongue. However, the naval administration, from the beginning of their rule, adopted a policy of establishing a secular school system for the people. In addition to the work of the missionaries , the naval administrator, on July 6, 1901, requested that the Navy Department allot money for the purpose of establishing a school near the naval station. This was to mark the start of many appeals for federal assistance to establish a complete range of public schools in American Samoa.
