  Chapter 148 Educational Immigration

  In the evening, the immigrants who had dinner came to the temporary school.

  The sound of reading aloud came from the school.

   "Danke!" (thank you)

   "Danke!"

   "Auf Wiedersehen!" (Goodbye)

   "Auf Wiedersehen!"

  …

  The temporary school was full of people "working hard" to learn German.

   "When you are helped by others, if you want to express your gratitude, you should say Danke. Read along with me." Lobos Ryan said to the students.

   "Danke!"

   "Eggshell!"

   Except for the Germans and some immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the rest of the immigrants basically did not know German.

   Now they will be forced to attend lectures in crowded classrooms.

  Divide these students into different classes according to different languages, and even many old farmers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire who did not know a single character became teachers.

   is mainly responsible for immigrants who only know the local dialect in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

  Don’t have too much hope for the learning ability of these immigrants. The East African colonies only teach some simple vocabulary and phrases to meet their early life in the colonies.

  Anyway, the only public language for all people in East Africa is German. Even if there is no German teaching, some people will be self-taught.

  This situation is not uncommon, especially in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the area where two different languages ​​meet, many people can speak two languages, but if you ask him to pick up a pen to write his own words, he doesn't even know the words.

  The East African colonies also mainly taught these adults oral language, and did not require them to learn to write.

  Many of the German immigrants are like this. They can only say that they can’t write. The main reason is that the immigrants are too old, and it is not realistic for them to study like elementary school students.

  The method of adult education is also very simple, which is to use things that everyone knows to learn repeatedly.

  For example, this is rice, and now everyone follows the pronunciation of rice.

   Grammar, words...sorry not at all.

  As long as you learn simple spoken English, others will probably be able to guess what you mean.

  After language class is general knowledge class.

   This requires everyone to learn together.

   Every batch of new immigrants must receive common sense education.

  The East African colony is a special place after all, and it is very different from the place where the immigrants lived before.

  “In Africa, there are no four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, so agricultural planting is not arranged according to the experience on the old continent.

  There are two rainy seasons here, which are affected by the monsoon. It is relatively hot all year round, and the minimum temperature will not be lower than 10 degrees. " Lobos Ryan introduced to the students.

   At this time, Lobos Ryan is a professional. Like geography and astronomy, such difficult courses can only be taken by professional teachers, and those temporary illiterate teachers have also become students and start attending classes.

  “In East Africa, the most important thing is to keep clean and hygienic. Our government data tells us that the number one cause of death in East Africa is disease, and the spread of disease is through mosquitoes and unhygienic behavior.

So everyone should do a good job of repelling mosquitoes, and pay attention to hygiene at the same time, you should go to the toilet instead of defecating everywhere, wash your hands before meals, don't drink raw water, and don't eat wild food..." Lobos Ryan asked one by one These immigrants instilled in them the dos and don'ts of living and working in the colony.

   "Teacher, you have said so much, how can we remember it? And there are so many rules and regulations, isn't it too surprising!" A European student questioned.

"Hmph, do you think I want to waste my time here telling you these things? You must have heard about overseas colonies before coming to East Africa. I'm afraid there are not many good ones, horror stories of various diseases and deaths .

  For example, Africa, which is called the cursed continent in our European words, is full of "miasma" in Eastern words, which kills countless people and is full of bones.

   Maybe you came to East Africa and didn't see the real horror, why? It's not because these measures promulgated by the government guarantee your safety.

  I’m afraid you don’t understand these things, so I’ll use the Black Death as an analogy with the plague. The power of these two diseases in Europe and the Far East is similar to that of some common diseases in the colonies.

  At the beginning, many Indians could not bear the European diseases brought by the Europeans, so they died of diseases on a large scale. Similarly, Africa, as a hotbed of diseases, also has many diseases that you cannot resist, so you must strengthen prevention. "

   "Mr. Lobos Ryan, you said that you can't resist, so aren't we wasting our efforts for nothing?" Someone said.

   "I'm talking about being unable to resist after being infected. According to the natural medical level, many diseases are incurable, and they all rely on their own immunity to survive.

   Of course, the East African colonies do seem to be safe now, but don't think I'm kidding, your security is based on things that you make some of you more resistant to.

  For example, some people may have never bathed in their entire lives before coming to East Africa, but now they have to take a bath and wash clothes every day.

  Diseases are most afraid of cleanliness, so you will often hear that plagues occurred in cities in the past, especially during the Black Death era. The streets were full of sewage and the smell was stinky. Those were the hotbeds of diseases.

  The most prevalent malaria in the tropics, our East African government has discovered that it is a disease transmitted by mosquito bites, so we ask you to pay attention to relevant prevention work..."

  General knowledge class is basically a life guide issued by the East African government after the immigrants arrived in East Africa.

  It covers all aspects of the East African colonies, including natural conditions, laws and regulations, various life experiences, etc.

  It is used to help immigrants better integrate into the East African colonies, and it is also to transform the thoughts of immigrants through this form.

  It is true that many immigrants have not received education, and may not have enough knowledge, but they do not have enough knowledge, and they cannot go to crooked ways, otherwise, it would be ignorance.

  For example, many people are more superstitious, but even if you practice superstition, it will not affect the policy in East Africa.

  Otherwise, I told you that it is clean and hygienic, but in the end you turn your back on worshiping various gods and do not believe that your own efforts can prevent diseases.

  The East African colonial government is definitely not used to it. No **** can do it well in East Africa. The only right to interpret religion here is in the hands of the government.

  As for the bad habits you brought from all over the world, it is even more impossible to find the soil for development in East Africa.

  Now the East African colonies can't stand the toss, but there is no benevolent government, even stricter than the Prussian rule.

  The difference is that Prussia has strong enemies on all sides and its nerves are tense, while East Africa has no enemies for the time being, and has even been bullying the surrounding natives over the years, lacking that sense of urgency.
