Show 88 NORTH CHINA MISSION Needs her vitality in real faith and courage on a school which seems somehow to be yearly on trial for its life ? Building and Equipment for a Dayschool and Kindergarten as feeders to it are longed for. Some New Method of Heating the Present Boarding School is a Vital Matter. Religious meetings held there in the winter actually imperiled foreign lives, and even the patient Chinese found it almost unbearable. Peking Five Additional Single Ladies. With Miss Porter at home and Miss Russell above, with Peking still moving" so fast that a Chicago woman can not keep up with i t ' ' , and blessed new doors constantly opening, the need is self-evident. Two of the Five Ladies are Needed for the Bible-Women's Training School. One of them should be here now, in preparation for her work. The building hitherto used for the Training-school is needed for College and Academy uses, and has already been turned over to them. The $1500 which it cost reverts to the school, to be used for a new plant. The old name-The "Angell Memorial"-will still be retained. This valuable school toward which so many stations turn wistful eyes, longing today to put into the work some of the workers it turns out, must probably be closed for a year, for lack of a home. The former building made but meager provision for future growth. It is earnestly hoped that there may be promptly forthcoming funds for Land and a Large Training School Building. May the generous and executive W. B. M. I. which includes so many of Mrs. Angell's friends, make it possible to reopen the school a year from this autumn. One woman is needed at once for General Work. She too must climb over the Chinese language to her work. The Union Woman's College must have at once. A Teacher of English or funds with which to engage one (>n the field, as has been done for the current year, tho her salary is not in sight. The College also needs a Woman Physician who can care for the health of pupils, teach classes in physiology and hygiene, and also be our contribution to the faculty of the Woinans' Union Medical College, a fourth of whose students are from our mission. A Normal Teacher for College and Academy. What about |
