The people are taught by their culture to be respectful of outsiders. Further, people have heard of the slaughter of Abame, and are fearful of accosting a white man. Finally, Mr. Brown himself is respectful of the Igbo and their culture. He is self-assured and confident, paying regular visits to the Christians in each community. He makes friends with some of the great men of the Igbo clan, and has been presented with a carved elephant tusk, a sign of dignity and rank. A man of great rank, Akunna, gave permission for his son to be taught in Mr. Brown's school.
Mr. Brown was persistent in getting the Umuofians to attend school. He appealed to the villagers self-interest in having their children be successful. The villagers too, could see the power of the new government in other villages such as Umuru, where the district commissioner resided. People who went to the school gained position in the new government, becoming court messengers court clerks, or teachers. All in all, he had provided opportunity and success to those he helped.
