Type of title	translation
Original caption	Rebeka, Maria & Rahel, 3 verheiratete Schülerinnen als Lehrersfrauen.
Description	Note: "Rebeka, Maria u. Rahel. 3 verheiratete Schülerinnen als Lehrersfrauen. Unter den Schülerinnen der Mädchenschule in Fumban sind einige, die, nachdem sie der Schule entlassen waren, christliche Lehrer heirateten. Sie müssen nun mit ihren Familien den Grundstock der Christengemeinde bilden; sie sollen in allem den Frauen des Stammes mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen und vor allem ihre Kinder 'erziehen', was ja leider sonst die eingeborenen Mütter nicht tun! Unsere christlichen Familien sind mit lieben Kindern reich gesegnet und wohnen, des Einflusses wegen, ganz nahe bei der Missionsstation." (Wuhrmann, A., 1917. Beschreibung zu den Lichtbildern aus Bamum. E-30-0,6).; Note translation: "Rebecca, Maria and Rachel, 3 [former] schoolgirls who have married and are now teachers' wives. Among the pupils of the girls' school in Fumban there are some who, after they have left school, marry christian teachers. With their families they will not form the kernal of the christian congregation. They have the task of giving the other women of their tribe a good example, and above all bring up their children [properly], something which indigenous mothers sadly do not do. Our christian families are well-blessed with lovely children and live close to the mission station, to be under the influence of the missionaries. (A. Wuhrmann, Commentaries to the slides from Bamum, E-30-0-6. K 359).
