Queen's Royal College. Before leaving Southern Rhodesia, he and Ida – who was also teaching, at the Hope Fountain Mission near Bulawayo – were married in Bulawayo in May 1932. He taught at Queen's Royal College until 1935, when he accepted an offer of the Principalship of Grenada Boys' Secondary School, where he stayed until 1943. He and Ida had three children, two boys and a girl. In 1939 one of the boys died in early childhood of diphtheria. He worked in Zanzibar for the British Colonial Education Service from 1944 to 1949, including a period as Inspector of Schools, but he and his wife found it difficult to live in a predominantly Muslim country where there was little scope for the kind of Christian work they wanted to do. He accepted an offer of the position of Principalship of Adams College near Durban, where he began work early in 1949. Adams College Between 1933 and 1945 Adams College had become one of the most important schools for black education in South Africa. Cricket had been introduced to the school in the 1930s, and Grant raised the status of the game among the black population around Durban and made Adams College a centre for the sport. Adams College faced major opposition from the National Party government, especially after the Bantu Education Act came into force. The government wanted black students to be prepared for menial jobs under white bosses, and this was the opposite of what Adams College was trying to achieve. The minister allowed the nearby Inanda Seminary School for girls to operate outside the act, but in 1956, it got to an ultimatum and the staff refused to stop teaching academic and aspirational education. Despite Grant's efforts the government made the college's position impossible, and the school was liquidated. The school held a service in December 1956 to mark the end of its operation. Grant took a leading role in this service when he paraphrased Hugh Latimer to say: "Be of good comfort, Adams College. We have these years lit such a candle in South Africa as I trust shall never be put out". The school was sold to the government and Grant left South Africa. The government agreed not to use the name Adams College for the school it planned to set up in the college's place. This demise of a leading school was documented by Grant
