Because of its central position and the prestige of its inhabitants among their neighbours, Dobu Island was chosen as his headquarters in 1891. He established mission stations throughout the D'Entrecasteaux and Trobriand Islands and the Louisiade Archipelago, as well as boarding schools for girls and boys and a training institution for local teachers and pastors. Like so many missionaries in those days, he did not approve of many of the values and customs of the Melanesian peoples and he helped to destroy traditional custom wherever it conflicted with his own moral standards.
