Show Hsii hopes to get time for a six weeks special course in ophtharnology here, a course he has hoped to take for three years. If our patients increase in the same proportion that our civilian patients have been increasing in recent years we must soon have more nurses and another physician. Of course the Board cannot be expected to help any more in its present position of financial stringency, but, if we get relief from famine locally and a cessation of war in the country at large we may hope for financial help from our Chinese friends. At present it is impossible to any great extent. Our X-ray equipment must be installed somewhere temporarily, perhaps in rooms previously used for the women nurses' home, now private rooms available for women patients, though seldom all used, but before long these rooms will be constantly needed for patients. Our kitchen is our only real disgrace. For many years we have wanted money from the Board for a new one' Our laboratory seemed large enough until we bought our bacteriological incubator. Our linen closets and store rooms are inadequate. Our present plan and hope is to use the present overflow ward for a kitchen and build a new building to house the X-ray department, the laboratory, a large ward or two, and a number of private rooms. We shall need this building before it can possibly be financed and built. As soon as the famine is over and some prosperity returns we mean to stimulate local interest in the project. We would like to hear from our friends in America who are interested in a new building. Three thousand dollars will probably fill our building needs for the growth of the next three years, but it would be better judgment, to spend five thousand and get twice as_ much space. People or groups who would like to have a share in building or equipment might be assigned definite projects. It is my personal hope that some will make conditional gifts, asking the local Chinese to finance one third of the total. It might be easier to raise the money all in America if we work long enough for it and spend enough effort in publicity, but I believe that the good of the work makes it advisable to try to induce local business men to contribute. Some time before long perhaps we can make more definite plans, but at present we would appreciate an expression from our friends of sympathy and desire to help. We do not know what will happen in China in the next few years, but it is our hope that reconstruction and peace will make great changes for the better. With prosperity will come an increased demand for medical work and a better ability to support it locally. |
