Out of the co-operation of some missionary there has arison a new enterprise, the scheme societies and the earnest interest of others, of which the committee sata forth.

The first and most urgent need of China, according to the committee, is for medical colleges where natives may be prepared to practise among the people. It is proposed, therefore, to develop a medical college recently established at Peking and to bring up its equiu

aircumstances permis, notably an arts degras, Other subjects and degrees would be added as which should comprise, international law and tronfios, geography, comparative history and

not least-Chinese literature and classics, so Chineso stulouts from their national sympathies that there may be no reproach of dissociating

reorganize in the same way three other institn tions in West, Central, and Southern China. In support of this scheme the committee.propose to appeal provisionally for £40,000.

For educational purposes the committee hope that officient help will be provided by the equipment of a central University. This portant object, however, is not included in the committer present appeal, because a special has been formed to deal with it. Primary and secondary salook are, however, now being established in all parts of the Empire, and these sed Chinese teachers trained in the now learning. To provide such toolers it is proposed to form normal training colleges at various mission stations. A scheme has also been drafted, and he received the cordial approval of all English societies represented at the Shanghai Conference, by which missionary societies would be invited to establish theological colleges for pastors by the side of each central training institution for taschers.

The management of the central institation would be vested in the hands of a local board representing the soolaties concerned. These societies would provide the salaries of the staff, the cost of the general upkeep of the collages being met by the fess of the students. For the initial cost of establishing them, however, provisional appeal is made by the committee

The coincidence ap pears, indeed, so oppe tune that I may perhaps be permitted to outline the position.

An aspiration expressed by the Governor, Sir Froderick Lugant in the course of a public address, induced a resident in the colony, Mr. Mody, to offer to present the necessary buildings to start a University if the Government would provide a site and if the sum necessary for an endowment can be raised,

It is estimated that the buildings will cost some $290,000 (say approximately £29,000); the Colonial Goverment will provide a fitting. site; thers remains the endowment, which is estimated at $110,000. When Mr Mody's munificent offer macked Sir Frederick Lugar
