Mass Education: Itl this maHer of mass .£ducation, we have not:had the money to give to this work ~s in 'fornier years, but we have supplied a number of the schools 'with b]ackb(i)ards~: chalk, and books .. : EspeciaUy.at Cie-Iw., Sek-se-du, and at. 3e~ ek-du, promising schools have been conducted ...

My own pepsonal opilJion i~ .that the weakness of these: charges is partly due to"the difficu1.ty"of local conditions and partly due to the ineffective.ness of pastorai leadership.

Pukien Area Methodist Theological Seminary HARRY W. WORLEY, Preside1ti

Two outstanding events in the Jast year 111ust be mention­ed, and my report will cente"r around them. First the joining up of the Hinghwa Conference with our Seminary, and the graduat­ing of our first class. of stud~nts since the reorganization. '

Immediately after last year's Conferenec, at the request of the Hinghwa Conference, T went with Bishop Gowdy to attend the sessions of the Hinghwa Conference to present to them our desire for them to unite in the carrying on of the Area Seminary.

RfPOR'r-S 189

They felt that the time'for co-operation had arrived, and with-' out a dissenting vote, decided to' unite with us in the project. Their actual· co-operation began with the beginillg of the spring term in three forms. First they sent a full time teacher, Rev. Dang Tiong Ca, a graduate of Nanking Theological Seminary, and for two years dea,n,of the Bingbwa Bible Sem.i~ary. Second; they assumed a thousand dollars a year of the expenses of the Seminary. ,Third . .they sent a group of studepts. All three of these c9ntributionsadde.d greatly to, the life and spirit of the Semin?ry.

, in June we graduated a class ()f seven young men. These were allo£ the la.rge class of eighteen w.ho entered in the fall of 1929 who were worthy to graduate. The faculty has been very' strict in its ,ideals .and requirements, and h~s sifted, the class re­peatedly. All seven of .the graduates stayed for the SUJ;l1m,er Conference, and passed their entrallce examinations for Annual Conference without a sltp. Six come knJcking at the door of the Foochow ConferenceJ and one goes back to his home in Hing­hwa. The Commencement Exercises offered another il1ustration of the frequent and valuable cooperation of our Seminary with the "Vomen's Bible Seminary. We had a Union Commencement Service in Tieng Ang Dong, whi'ch was quite largely attended, ahd proved that our Church is working toward les's discrimina­tion between the sexes. If a larger d~gree of cooperation could be worked out between the Womt:n's Bible Seminary and our Area Seminary, quite a saving in overhead expenses could be' secured.

The enrollment for the present term 'is thirty-three, which is the largest in the history of our re-organiZied Seminary. Four. students come from the Yenping Conference, six from Hinghwa, and the re~ainil1g.L wenty· three from the Fooehow Conference. The one outstanding thing in the present enrollment is the change in the direction of the source of ou r students. . For the. first four y'difS the'largest number of students c~u~ie fro111 the Kutien and Mintsing Districts. This year 'eight students have come from thtr-four Coas~. Districts. .

fine my reportto two principles,on ,which we havecol1centrated this vear.

- I. ~irainhlg of"the Ihner Man.;, Our :aim 'has" b.ee~.,J() arouse the whole membership to a deeper recogtiition oJ J~s~s Christ as their Savior _ Spe~iaJ enlf:hasis lIas bren pJacc'd" on' ptayet:, Bible Stt1dy~:' and' worship.

There are 1l10re than 4Qo families whQ"ha,yepledgeq ,Jhemsel,!es towqrship in the borne ~very morning: and evening. We. have faith to believe that :as this movement grows, Christianizing of the whole community may beconle easy. --,

II. Evangelistic campaigns. Long termcanipaigris have been ,held in seven localities. with a program of miltua:l planning in the morning, and house to house visitation. 'vVe have held 112" evening 'meetings, 'with 'an attendance of about _ '8,000. As a re­suh of these meetings; some 62 families, representing :200 or more individuals, have joined the. Church as full members; We arestressirig the necessity of the new members leading others to Christ.

, Tbeeight aims of the move,ment are difficult to attain un­less me~bers'everywhere will join .p,eartily in the prograrp:.-.Day: by day, conditioils become more chaotic; bandits are everY\\'here~' roads are unsafe for travel.

We have just c19sed' a,;veryfineBetter Homes week in Futsing, ,whic~ macfequite an impress on the whole c,ity. It is our earnest prayer that; our members may unite in a prayer 10 God to le~d us on the road to final victory. Tben, and then only, can we face Him unasha,ll1ed.

; Since" Rev. Tong; Chiong-dong, the principal, went to An1eric'a for further study, and also since no prinqp'alltas been appointed, I ~hall take the liberty of giving you some account of school affairs~

'. The school ope oed in tbe~ fall of .19.33 with an ~nrol1ment of; il53. 71 of which were 'in the middle school, the ,others in the primary grades. Among this numb,er, there are 71 boy~ from Christian homes. About, 50% of the enrollment attend Sunday; services, and~ome 20% are. in the 'pr:ayer .m~,etings every Monday to Friday. At the morning chapel service. the· :wqole body attends. In the Mandarin speaking meetings~ and the Y. M. C. A.every Sunday evening, all except ,the day pupils: attend J"~ggIar1y.

I,n obedience to the regulations of the Government Board of Educat~on, 1.ast Spring ~~e. sent 12 middle.s~hool gradu~tes,aQd 19 from the pnmary graduatmg class to take the- general gradua­tion examinations. Although they passed, and . secured their diplomas, we teachers are not overly proud of the record they have made, as it indicates we have Dot been- as apf as we might be- in our instruc~ion. .' '!

Inasmuch as our school is near :the sea, where communica­tions are not very convenient, we feel a great lack of deep scholar­ship which might introduoe us to fuller knowledge.. .Nor are we, near any large factory or business centers; our boys are ac~ customed to plain, . ~imple, rural !,iving, not at all trained in the habits of luxury. This to us seems a strong. point in our favor, although it may,no~ appeal to C?t~ers.

Our school, established in 1892, has passed its 40th an­niversary. Last Decetilber 12th, we' held aspiendidmeeting, at which the Board of Managers, Alumni, and faculty were pre~ent,: in honor of the hardshlps through' which we have gon,e in the: pas~, and for the further purpose of seeking unlimited develop .. ment . arid a strengthening of the -educational effiiciency of Hie days ahead.' Most ofthe i community Jgroups and' individuals joined in saying a good word for us, which encouraged us much. Dare we not do out 'best to fulfil what' other~ 'expeCt "us to ac ..

schools will bave much, trouble putting it really into force. Our principal~ who is a graduate from Berea College, KY'7 has been educated to work and his example is a great help.

This 'year has alsobee!l one of co-operative effort. The highest grade government school, the Law School, has been try­ingfor some tiine to 'develop, into a regular college. They re­ceived word from Nanking that their only 'hope was to become an Agricultural College. ~rhejr lawyer-president did not feel up to the job, and came over to see 'what we were doing. He was so impressed that he ,asked 'our principal. Mr. Dibng, if he would help out in their college to the extent 'of 'letting three of our teachers serve with 'Cl committee of their teachers to gettbings started. This was willingly done and their work started"largely with men recommended by our principal, and Christian men.

The school has also been co~operating with the Foochow Electric Light Company lD the conduct of two of their exper­iment stations. They aTe trying to help develop better methods in agrkttlture, and have a trained agriculturalist in charge. They have been unable to ge.t competent helpoD their farms and ~ave just turned to- us to recommend men to them. Three of 'oar' graduates are now working for them, doing very satisfactory w,ork, and with the avowed purpose of trying to make the most of their influence as Cbri~tian men. We are also, helping in a small ,way in giving advice and a little supervision to these pro­jects.

Then there is a really big and important co-operative pro­ject just getting under way, and that is co-operation with 'Fukien Christian University for rural recon'strnction 'projects. Each in­stitution ha~ three representatives on a central committee and great thingS 'are 'hopeH for. 'The , University will 'do more of the investigating and laboratory side of the work,and'we uwre the practicerl carryi11gottt of the plans. .,

A forrestr), project was started some' years ,ago by the students of the Anglo-Chinese College under the leadership of :Mr. 'Paul Lee. When he left that institution-and went to'Shang­hai, interest in the project subsided: Last year Mr. Lee joined our facultyaand throltgh ~his ins.trumentality the. pr9ject was tU'rnedovet to our school. In the mean time the trees had con­tinued to grow;! Th~' site is about ten miles uptJle river from here. and when trn: 'new road is- completed that is now under con­struction, the place will Le very accessible. Several thousand trees are well started, arid "fast ,year we had several. thousand more p1anted.

The personnel ct>ntributed by the Methodist Board is as follows: Superintendent and one physician~ The W. -F. M: S. is I now contributing two nurses. .

The 'iilstitution is divided' doing, part of its work in the city and part at the Mc Gaw hospital on Nantai.

At present the staff are working hard on a satisfactory plan for the union of the' two in the future.' Plans have been drawn fora new building in the city using the women's hospital there as a nurses home.

The combin~9 in-:-patients: number about 2400 and' th~ q. P. D. about 12;000 new patients and about 30,000 total visits.

We are hoping this year to begin some public health work tho it may, be small and hope that the easing of conditions., will make it possible to have work carried into some of the out sta­tions. The hospital is inoreasing in its ability to carryon and -it, is attempting the best kind of.medical and surgical wock. O~r division in pbysical plants .is a great draw back and we hope that the condition can be remedied in the next few years.

Pukien Christian University

,t.~. General CQDditioDS

The year 1932-1933 will be remembered in the history of FukienChristian University as the first year of co-education. We were fortunate to have a fine group of 20 women students to. help make a good sta'rt in this new phase of our work. Ifhe, yt!ar ' s experience amply- justifies the enthusiasm of past years.for co-education. The: ,spirit of campus life showed a detinite im~' provement.; On the whole, there were no important difficulties jn social relationships; the men and women students associated with each other in an atmosphere of naturalness free from osten­sible signs of strain and embarrassment. The women students par.:ticipated freely and actively in different kinds of student or~ ganizations, and'by ·the end of the year one of them had' been elected the President of the Student Christian Association.

The enroliment for th~ fall semester was 185~ the highest in tb~ history of the i1lstitutioll. Some improvement Was made in 'the methods of securJng information regarding applicants as a basis for selection, The use of a personnel blank, to be filled in by secondary SCh06l' teacher. or· principal, helped us to know a little more ~ollcerning the cha-ractei' of appJicaots~ In addition:

health committee kept dose· touch with conditi<ms:.in thedortni­tories, and its prompt.: attenticn to .a coupJeof cases of imumps prevented an epidemic which would have been serious. There was marked interest in athletics, and more enthusiasm was shown in intermural athletics than before. Faculty-student matches yielded a wholesome influence. A new interest in Chinese box­ing was aroused by one of our young instructors quite adept in this art. A Chinese Boxing Club was organized, and early every morning the members of the Club were seen practiciQg ont.he athletic grounds.

The Student- Relations Conjmittee made a special eflort to promote a wholesome dormitory spirit. A special room in each dorrilitory wa5 given for social purposes, with the hope that such a central place in e~ch dormitory would provide more op­portunities for intimate contacts and fellowship. Newspapers and games were furnished for the rooms. Athletic contests be­tween dormitories were encouraged to help bring about a more active dormitory spirit.

Mintsingbsien T.ieng-u Junior Middle School

During the past ,year this school has continued to serve as the only Christian Junior Middle School for boys in Mintsing County. \Vhile there has been a shortage-of financial resources and the current economic depression has made it difficult for many of the students, the faculty have cooperated in a most loyal and sacrificial way to make the school ineasure up to the highest possible standards of efficiency. '

During the Christmas season of ,1932 special: evangelistic services were held:in the,school and quite a number. of the stu­dents reached 'in a helpful way. As a result, of this meeting, nearly twenty of the st).ldents· came into the, chllrrh at the begill,:, ing of last,fall'ssemester,. Many ,of th~ students come froll} non";Christian homes and have had their primary school work in government schools. Therefore, the empha~is upon Christian training becomes as important as it is difficult. . The fa~.u1ty and the principal, Mr. Luther Yi-shu Liu, are 'cooperating to meet thispr6blem in the, best possible way. .. .

At the present time the Junior, High 'school has an enroll .. ment of seventy-three, the higher primary has thirty-two" and the lower primary has thirty-six. In the lo~er and higher primary, the school has worked out a cooperative arrangement with the

RItl'ORTS 201

w.e F M. S. school bere, Uk-ching school, and the figures here given cover the coeducational part of the school as well as the distinctly boys'junior high school. Through· this cooperative arrangement it was possible for the school to secure a graduate of H wa Nan college to teach during the fall, thus making a total of three college graduates on the faculty of ten teachers. With the removal of the District Missionary to. Mintsinghsien, itha5 been possible for Mrs, Esther B. Stockwell to teach music and English in the school.

Most .of the students are active in some organization in the school· such as the Y. M. C. A" the Society fot the study of Cul­ture, the Glee Club, and the RecreatIonal Club. Sunday evenings it has been possible to meet together Jor a vesper song service which the stlldents have enjoyed greatly .

. T.his school continues to lead in :the, educational life of Mintsing County and its graduates ar~ scattered far· and wide in places of Jeadership. It deserves a much larger financial backing than it is receiving at the present time.

Mintsinghsien Hospital

Beginning with January, 1933, the small hospital at Mint­singhsien was put under thedirection.of the Good Shepherd Hos­pital at Lek-du, only fifteen miles away. Dr. Ruth Hemenway, W. F, M:S. doctor at the Good Shepherd Hospital, took charge, and, thtbtigh her energetic and wise direCtion of the enterprise, has made the institution practically self-supporting,

A brief Summati of the work which this small hospital has been able to do during the past year includes the following statistics: inpatients, 42 ; dispensary patients, 4085; outcalls, 589; vaccinations, 639; major operations, 6; minor operations, 187; obstetrical cases, IS; total income f.or the year, $1842. The ,service which the ,hospital has been able ~() render has been so much better than was ever possible before that it has achieved a high place in the estimation of the community. Because of its location in the County Seat, it has been able to serve a class of of officials and gentry which would not be possible if it were located at some other point in the county.

an account of the limited financial resources of the institu­tion, it has l1()t ·bee~. possible ;to dp the. amount of 9harity work which we desire. A part of the income for the year bas had to
