A Geograpliy Lesson on 
 Malaysia 
 
 Where is Malaysia? 
 
 It is the open door of the Orient, 
 “somewhere east of Suez.” 
 
 What have we to do with Malaysia? 
 
 Much, for more than half of our tin 
 comes from the Malay Peninsula, while 
 from the islands we get rubber and spice 
 and tapioca and cocoanut oil. 
 
 What is the most thickly populated 
 land in the world ? 
 
 China? No. India? No. It is Java 
 where 35,000,000 people are packed 
 away 700 to the square mile. 
 
 Why is Malaysia a strategic center for 
 missions ? 
 
 Immigrants from every country in the 
 Orient come and go through Malaysia, 
 and if we can reach them there, we shall 
 thus establish a radiating center for 
 Christianity.

Substituting education for head-hunting. 
 
 A New Race to Educate 
 
 Methodism’s entering wedge into 
 Malaysia was the Anglo-Chinese school 
 in Singapore which is now, with the 
 exception of some colleges in Japan, the 
 largest school in the Orient. From this 
 beginning has grown a system of sixty- 
 five primary schools and four higher 
 schools. 
 
 These schools, once started, are prac¬ 
 tically self-supporting. But there is a 
 brand-new opportunity in Malaysia now. 
 The head-hunting Dyaks, the original 
 wild men from Borneo, are for the first 
 time asking for schools. The Dutch 
 government has offered to erect build¬ 
 ings if the Methodist Church will supply 
 teachers. 
 
 If we do not take advantage of the 
 opportunity, the same offer will be 
 made to the Mohammedans, from whom 
 the Dyaks will get a knowledge of 
 Mohammedanism which will make them 
 more difficult to reach.

 A Bargain in Hospitals 
 
 Only a few doctors are scattered 
 throughout the Netherlands East Indies. 
 Missionaries carry small stocks of medi¬ 
 cine, but they are entirely unable to 
 meet the need, for sanitation is un¬ 
 dreamed of, and, according to con¬ 
 servative estimates, eighty per cent of 
 the natives are diseased. 
 
 The Dutch government desires to 
 remedy the situation but is unable to 
 supply the needed doctors and nurses; 
 therefore it has offered to the Methodist 
 Church, which is the only American 
 mission in the islands, the opportunity 
 of cooperating in building six hospitals. 
 
 The government will supply three- 
 fourths of the money necessary for the 
 buildings and will pay the salary of one 
 American doctor and nurse and of three 
 native nurses in each hospital.
