hoping in the near future to add another Chin­ese physician to our force. Mention should be made of those who are in preparation for future work in this field. We have one man in the Methodist training school for nurses in Peking and a young man and a young woman in our own Tehchow training school. These three are taking the first of the three years of the course. In the Union Medical College for Women in Peking Miss Yang has begun her junior year and Mr. Chu this term has begun the five years course offered by the Peking Anion Medical College for Men which has reteently come under the control of the China Medical Board of the Rockefeller Foundation. Mr. Ma Shuang Yuan has one more year in theological semin­ary, after which we hope he will return to work in connection with the lintsing hospital giving most of his time to country work, visiting former patients in their homes. Never in the recent history of l i n t s i ng station has there been such prolonged illness among the foreigners. This autumn Harriet and Dorothy Eastman were very ill with dysentery for nearly three months. When Harriet was at the most critical point, Dr. Tucker came from Tehchow for consultation and stayed several days. At the same time that the little girls were ill Miss Hill of the National Holi­ness Mission was herei suffering from the same dread disease. We feel that her recovery as well as that of Harriet Eastman was largely due to the; careful nursing given by Miss Brown, the trained nurse of the Holiness mis­sion,* first to Miss Hill and later to Harriet.
