. •• Ira i SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN LIBERIA. In attempting to understand the social and educational condi- tions of Liberia, it is necessary to keep in mind the fact that the first settlements were made, and nearly all the emigration from the United States took place, before i860. The emigration was, of course, largely from the Southern states, and the only civilization with which the people had come in contact was that of the "OKI South. " Since the date mentioned there has been some emigration fr...om the United States, but without proper selection before starting, and without proper guidance and encouragement after arriving in Liberia. This has had a scarcely appreciable effect on the public character or attitude, notwithstanding many individual cases of well-earned success. Among the decendents of the first emigrants however, the belief still remains strong that work is something to be escaped on the ground of principle as well as inclination. In planting a civilization here, they have of necessity planted the only sort of civilization with which they were acquainted.
