Educating the Heathen:
the Foreign Mission School
Controversy and American Ideals
by
John Andrew
This article written for the “Journal of American Studies,” presents an example of the missionary movement with the establishment of a school in Cornwall and its closure nine years later in 1826. During those years the policy toward the non-Christian — Hawaiians, Cherokees, Chinese, and others — changed from educating them among Americans to sending missionaries to the native territories. Racial discrimination and mixed marriages were a local scandal and exemplified the larger issues of slavery and the Indian policy.
