T 9 1 9 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2020 with funding from Columbia University Libraries https://archive.org/details/studentsofunitedOOunse A Summons to a Larger Task T HE greatest contribution to the winning of the war was made by American colleges. It was a war of scientists. American educational institutions furnished the engineers, the chemists and army physicians, the ordnance experts, as well as a great proportion of officers in the line and staff. The records of Yale, Harvard, Chicago with from one-fourth to one-third of their living alumni in the military forces of the coun¬ try, were typical of the service rendered by the colleges in gen¬ eral. Prior to the signing of the armistice, practically every college was fully mobilized for participation in the war. Now that the great conflict is ended, we face the larger tasks of reconstruction and peace. Thousands of students regret that the opportunity of overseas service, of offering their lives for the great cause, has been denied them. Let them not despair, for they are being summoned now to a more difficult duty. It is much easier to prepare for war than to re-establish peace. A plowshare becomes a sword much more readily than a sword becomes a plowshare. While a peace league of nations represents a tremendous advance step in world unity and solidarity, it is nevertheless true that international brother¬ hood and world democracy can not be changed from theories into accomplished facts until the democratic ideals of Jesus Christ have been made the basis of international relationships. To this greater task of building a Christian democracy the church of Christ must now call the students of America. It is proposing a world student fellowship-—an opportunity whereby students in America can give to the students of other lands 6 Students of the United States those same Christian ideals which have been the heritage of all that is best in American college life. There are two Yales— one in America and the other in China. The former established the latter in 1906, and the latter has already come to be recog¬ nized throughout China as a great exponent of civic responsi¬ bility, of democratic ideals, of true manhood, of genuine Christianity. Unless these ideals are known and accepted by the nations of the earth, we can not hope for permanent peace. Unless the college men of America contribute to this task the same unselfish service, sacrifice and enthusiasm with which they entered the war, its accomplishment must be indefinitely delayed. At the Student Volunteer Conference held at Northfield in January, 1918, representatives from the colleges of the United States and Canada planned a program on the basis of which American students would be called upon to join in a vigorous campaign for Christian world democracy. These leaders were already looking forward to the dawn of peace, even though at that time the world was still in the darkest midnight of its terrible war. Included in that program was the following: To secure at least one-half million dollars during the acade?nic year 1918-1919 for the foreign ?nission progra?n of the church and to secure such funds as may be necessary to meet the 7ieed arising from the war situation in 1918. It is proposed to call this the world fellowship fund. The missionary boards of the church are to cooperate with the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. in presenting this need to the students in our colleges. In the following pages are presented a list of institutions under the direction of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society and the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, for the Students of the World 7 also definite objects for which money is now required and which are in the interest of student life in the Orient. The work of these institutions is a vital part of the “Christian Campaign for International Goodwill.” The military campaign for this great purpose has ended. The more peaceful means of conducting this world campaign must continue. The ultimate aim of Christian missions is to bring the whole world under the sway of the principles and spirit of Jesus. Its goal is a human race , living in peace one with another and in fellowship with the universal Father as revealed in his Son , Jesus Christ. It is a task that calls for sacrifice , devotion of lives , con¬ secration of means , and for boundless enthusiasm and courage .— Frof. E. D. Burton , D.D. To this noble purpose we seek to enlist the students in our American colleges in behalf of the students of other lands. 8 Students of the United States japan C HRISTIAN education is necessary in Japan because the elaborate government educational system, since Japan is a non-Christian country, makes no provision for the teaching of Christian ideals. In view of Japan’s place in world civiliza¬ tion, it is of the utmost importance that the nation shall be Christianized. The most effective method is to reach the young men in the schools and colleges of Japan. The future leaders of the Orient are today in the great universities. No missionary undertaking has so much promise for the future as the effort to reach the great student population. Dr. H. B. BenninghofF and a Student Bible Class at Waseda University for the Students of the World 9 TOKYO Waseda University Dormitories (2 at $18poo each) : $36 poo This great university now enrols more than ten thousand students, who come from all parts of the Japanese Empire. Within a few years they will be leaders in all departments of Japanese life. Through dormitories already established, our missionary, Dr. H. B. Benninghoff, has done a remarkable work in bringing Christianity before these college boys in a tangible, definite way, and in reclaiming the morals of student life. The university is so well pleased with his work that we have been requested to build two additional dormitories. Dr. Benning- hoff’s opportunity for religious teaching ought not to be limited by a lack of dormitories. Waseda University Japanese assistant to Dr. Benninghoff : $180 A capable assistant to Dr. Benninghoff in his important work among the students of Waseda University can be secured for $180 for the college year. Waseda University Dormitory equipment : $500 The present dormitories have been established for a number of years, and owing to their over-crowded condition are greatly in need of additional equipment and furnishings. Waseda University Annual appropriation for work among students : $300 The salary of the missionary, Dr. H. B. Benninghoff, is pro¬ vided each year by a well-known Baptist church in Brooklyn, N. Y. An additional $300 per year is needed to care for the miscellaneous expenses in connection with Dr. Benninghoff’s work. IO Students of the United States Waseda University Proposed new hostel: $6poo A hostel or dormitory under Christian auspices is greatly needed at Karuizawa for government students attending Waseda University. Japan Baptist Theological Seminary Annual maintenance $2,000 Salaries of teachers (4 at $500 each) 2,000 Financial aid to students goo The japan Baptist Theological Seminary for many years has been training Christian leaders for their important work as pastors of Japanese churches. These men are usually graduates of some recognized Japanese university, and come to the Semi¬ nary for their divinity course, even as graduates of American These children in a kindergarten at Tokyo are asking for a new building for the Students of the World ii colleges take their divinity courses at recognized American seminaries. At the present time there are twenty-three students enrolled in this institution. Kindergarten Work Two new buildings: $10,000 Kindergarten work is fascinating everywhere, particu¬ larly in Japan. Many Japanese homes are reached by mis¬ sionaries because of their solicitude and care for the little chil¬ dren. Two kindergartens in Tokyo are trying to do their work in poorly ventilated buildings. Properly housed in light, airy, comfortable buildings they could render a tremendous service. Two new buildings should be located immediately, at a cost of $5,000 each. It is hoped that these may be erected near two new church buildings and, therefore, be of tremendous service in extending the ministry of the churches. HIMEJI Piano needed: $200 At the Christian school for girls maintained by the Woman’s Board a piano is urgently needed. One can be furnished at a cost of $200. 12 Students of the United States CHINA T HREE missions are maintained by Baptists in China, lo¬ cated in East China, South China and West China. The educational need is simply appalling. Only ten per cent of the entire population of four hundred million are able to read and write. One million teachers are needed for the Chinese schools, but unfortunately the government is unable to supply them. Upon the missionary enterprise and the Christian church, there¬ fore, fall the responsibility to provide Christian education in this great country, which is destined to take an important place in the world democracy of the future. WEST CHINA CHENGTU West China Union University Northern Baptist allotment for annual maintenance $2,500 Equipment for scieyitific and medical laboratories 1,000 Financial aid for Baptist students t->300 The West China Union University is one of the outstanding educational institutions in the Far East. It occupies a very handsome campus in the city of Chengtu, and new build¬ ings are constantly being added. The faculty consists of 53 teachers, of whom 24 are foreigners and 29 Chinese, while the present enrolment is 421 students. Baptists cooperate with the Canadian Methodist Mission, the Friends’ Foreign Mis¬ sionary Association (English) and the Methodist Episcopal Mission for the annual maintenance of this institiuon. In addition to the annual maintenance expense, financial aid is furnished to Baptist students each year. for the Students of the World i 3 YACHOWFU Higher Primary Schools Salaries of teachers (4 at $135 each) $340 Financial aid to students 130 Practically every mission station maintains higher pri¬ mary schools, which serve as feeders to the larger preparatory schools and colleges. Girls’ School New dormitory: $3,000 Two years ago a girls’ school was opened in Yachowfu, the last big town on the military road to Tibet. Sixty-five girls are now enrolled, and the school uses some old buildings. The boarding capacity is exhausted and no further development is possible until a new dormitory has been provided. SUIFU Annual 7naintenance of Monroe Academy: $1,690 Monroe Academy is an important preparatory school, which endeavors to provide a thorough Christian education, not only for Chinese boys who can not go beyond the preparatory school stage, but also for those looking forward to the full university course at Chengtu. At the present time seventy students are enrolled in this institution. Girls’ School New high school building: $10,000 There is no high school for girls in the entire West China Baptist Mission. A building should be erected in Suifu, in order to provide this higher education for the girls who are now attending the preparatory schools in the various stations of the West China Mission. Students of the United States H A Daily Clinic in a Woman’s Hospital in China Woman’s Hospital Main Building $12,000 Furnishing and equipment 3,000 Outbuildings, wells, etc. 1,600 Residence for doctor and nurse 4,000 Isolation ward 2,000 Maternity ward 24/00 Ho?ne for Chinese nurses 24/00 $28,000 In the entire province of Szchuan, with a population of sixty million, there are only two hospitals for women and chil¬ dren. In the city of Suifu, with a population of two hundred thousand, there is one general hospital and no hospital for women and children. There is, therefore, an enormous need of for the Students of the World 15 medical work for women and children and a woman’s hospital at Suifu should be provided at the earliest opportunity. Medical supplies : $95 Dr. Carrie Slaght, of Kalamazoo and Rush Medical College, is studying the language at Chengtu. During this year, she needs medical supplies to enable her to render effective help when the need arises, in a city where there are few doctors. EAST CHINA SHANGHAI Shanghai Baptist College New dormitory $30,000 Financial aid to students 1,600 The present campus o: Shanghai Baptist College 16 Students of the United States The city of Shanghai is the political, commercial and intel¬ lectual center of China. On a magnificent site, overlooking the river, Northern Baptists, in cooperation with Southern Baptists, maintain the Shanghai Baptist College. The campus is in full view of every ship which enters or leaves the city. At the present time 255 students are enrolled, while the dor¬ mitory capacity is only no. To keep pace with the remark¬ able growth and enrolment, a new dormitory must be provided immediately. Students are attracted to this institution from all parts of China. Its graduates are accepted in junior classes in American universities. Yale, Chicago, Brown and Colum¬ bia have Shanghai Baptist College graduates enrolled this year. The new Haskell Gymnasium at Shanghai Baptist College for the Students of the World i 7 A kindergarten in a Chinese girls’ school, which needs a new building HANGCHOW Wayland Academy Administration building with equipment $50,000 Annual inaintenance 3,000 Wayland Academy, at Hangchow, is another important preparatory school for Chinese boys. For many years this institution has sent its graduates into the larger colleges or out into the commercial life of China. The old buildings and equip¬ ment are totally inadequate for present needs, and a new ad¬ ministration building, with class rooms, offices, lecture halls, etc., should be provided at the earliest opportunity. Girls’ School New day school building: $2,500 At the present time a girls’ day school in Hangchow is meeting in an old, dark, poorly ventilated Chinese building, for 18 Students of the United States which $300 is being paid each year for rent. The amount in¬ dicated above would erect a building for the school and save this annual rental. NINGPO Ningpo Boys’ Academy Additional land required $22,000 Dormitory and equipment 2$,000 Ad?ninistration building and equipynent 30,000 Annual ynaintenance 2,4.00 Ningpo Academy in East China is one of the most promis¬ ing secondary schools on any mission field. Its opportunity for reaching the boys of China is immense. Its equipment is fearfully inadequate. It occupies a single building of small dimensions erected more than fifty years ago. It is situated on a plot of ground hardly large enough for a kindergarten. A group of Chinese school girls meeting in a sewing class for the Students of the World 19 In this building are gathered so many boys that, according to the minimum requirements of the housing laws for air space, three students are living where only one should live. Girls’ School Additional land needed : $15poo The Baptist girls’ school, with one hundred students, is the only institution for girls in Ningpo with a high school de¬ partment. Frequently two classes are obliged to recite in one room at the same time. A new site can be secured which will provide plenty of ground for expansion. SHAOHSING Day School and Kindergarten New building: $2,500 A situation similar to that at Hangchow exists at Shaohsing, where the day school and kindergarten maintained by the Woman’s Board is greatly over-crowded. SOUTH CHINA KAYING Boys’ Academy Additional land for academy and grammar school $8,000 Dormitory 5 A 00 Administration building jo,ooo The BOYs’academy at Kaying has had a phenomenal growth. Four years ago there were only fifty pupils. In 1915, the enrolment had increased to 183, and last year 339 pupils were receiving a Christian education at this important preparatory school. Additional equipment mentioned above represents one of the greatest needs on the foreign field today. 20 Students of the United States The Rhoda Roblee Barker Memorial School at Hopo, South China. Schools with such equipment can render tremendous service for Christian education in China Women’s Residence Residence for women missionaries : $6,500 Two able missionaries of the Woman’s Board are trying to serve in Kaying without a home. Kind friends have thus far cheerfully accepted over-crowded conditions in order to accom¬ modate them. An adequate house is offered for sale at $6,500, and this offer should be accepted immediately. UNGKUNG Boys’ Grammar School New administration building : $8,000 An earthquake in South China completely destroyed the government grammar school for boys in the city of Ungkung. for the Students of the World i i Our Baptist school, therefore, has no competitor in furnishing an education to Chinese boys. The government will give this school official recognition if additional equipment, consisting of a new building, is provided. SWATOW Baptist Theological Seminary Annual maintenance : $2,000 A theological seminary is maintained at Swatow for the training of Chinese preachers. The amount indicated above represents the cost of the annual maintenance of this institution. South China Baptist Academy New administration building $40,000 Dormitory 10,000 Annual maintenance 3 A 5 ° The South China Baptist Academy is another important preparatory school for the training of Chinese boys. A tre¬ mendous increase in enrolment has been reported in recent years, and the institution has entirely outgrown its present equipment. American college students can render distin¬ guished service to the students of China by providing a new administration building and new dormitory as well as making possible the annual maintenance of the institution. Girls’ High School New building: $18,650 The girls’ school at Swatow is the central institution for girls in the entire South China Mission. With this greatly needed new building and better equipment, the mission will be able to train its own teachers for primary and elementary schools and thus provide a Christian education for thousands of Chinese girls. 11 Students of the United States A damaged house at Swatow, showing the effect of the earthquake and the need of new buildings -3 for the Students of the World SWATOW Reconstruction Plans Repairs needed owing to destructive earthquake $10^00 New residence for women missionaries iopoo Annex to present missionary residence 4^200 On Wednesday afternoon, February 13, 1918, the whole province of South China was shaken by a destructive earth- Architect’s sketch of the proposed new residence for women missionaries at Swatow quake. More than a thousand people lost their lives, while the property damage involved a total of millions. Practi¬ cally all the mission property at Swatow needs repairs and a new residence for women missionaries should be erected at the earliest opportunity. In order to withstand future earth¬ quake shocks it must be constructed of reenforced concrete. The annex to our present missionary residence is needed, owing to over-crowded conditions and an increase in the mis¬ sionary staff. 24 Students of the United States HOPO Girls’ School New building: $6,000 Twenty-five girls are enrolled, with twenty more on the waiting list, at this school at Hopo. These girls live, eat, re¬ cite and sleep in small rooms at the rear end of the chapel. They have no suitable dormitory, no class rooms, no gymna¬ sium, no playground. A school building is urgently needed. INDIA N OTWITHSTANDING the tremendous service which the British Government has rendered to the people of India, the educational problem is still most acute. Only one out of every six children of school age is attending school. Only ten per cent of the male population can read or write, while statistics for women show that ninety-nine women out of every hundred are illiterate. Baptists are trying to do their share for the evangelization of India in four of the provinces, namely, Burma, Assam, Bengal-Orissa and South India. Christian education receives tremendous emphasis in the primary schools, higher institutions, colleges and theological seminaries. BURMA RANGOON Rangoon Baptist College New dining hall $5,000 Annual maintenance 56/43 Rangoon Baptist College is one of the outstanding educa¬ tional institutions in Burma. Action has been taken recently for the Students of the World 2 5 The Cushing Memorial Buildings of Rangoon College whereby the college becomes a constituent part of the new government university. At the present time the enrolment is about 1500, while the faculty consists of 10 American and 67 Burman teachers. Graduates of this college are found in all sections of Burma, occupying influential places of leader¬ ship. A new dining hall is urgently needed. KEMENDINE Burman Girls’ High and Normal School Dormitory : $9,560 Coeducation in Burman schools has recently been pro¬ hibited for children over twelve years of age. This has caused great increases in enrolment in girls’ schools. Many have been turned away from Kemendine because of lack of room, and a new dormitory should be provided at the earliest op¬ portunity. 26 Students of the United States The Morton Lane Girls’ School at Moulmein, Burma MOULMEIN Morton Lane Girls’ School To complete new administration building $15poo New dormitory and equipment 6poo Similar over-crowded conditions exist at Morton Lane, where the enrolment increased in one year from 307 to 400. Eighteen classes are trying to meet in twelve class rooms. This is one of the finest schools for girls in all the Orient, and needs this additional equipment for continued service and future growth. Mizpah Hall Land for Mizpah Hall School: $1 pyo A successful school for Tamil and Telugu children is con¬ ducted at Moulmein. An additional piece of property, to make possible expansion and to prevent the Buddhists from locating a rival school, has been secured. The amount re¬ quested is needed to complete the purchase. for the Students of the World 27 New Trade School Establishment of Trade School: $25,000 Facilities for technical education in Burma are everywhere inadequate. The government is greatly concerned as to the scarcity of men preparing for technical careers. Furthermore the training of artisans and craftsmen among the rank and file of church membership is essential to the development of great¬ er self-support. For this reason it is proposed to establish at Moulmein a trade and industrial school. MANDALAY Burman Girls’ School Residence for teacher $4,270 Normal school building 5,000 At Mandalay 250 girls are trying to secure a Christian education in a small building and the basement of a missionary A Lawn Party at the Girls’ School_at Kemendine, Burma 28 Students of the United States residence. The government has given its approval to the opening of a normal department, and will supply scholarships annually for twenty-five girls. INSEIN Burman Theological Seminary 1dormitory and additional land $5)35° Open air gymnasium joo Annual 7naintenance of institution i ,200 Karen Theological Seminary Dining hall $5,ooo Dormitory y,ooo Annual maintenance of institution 550 At Insein, Burma, are maintained two theological seminaries one for the Karen races of Burma and the other for the Burman race. At these institutions, men who have received their pre¬ paratory training at schools and colleges take the regular di¬ vinity course, which equips them for service as pastors of the 1,064 Baptist churches in Burma. A well-trained Christian ministry is as essential to the development of Christianity abroad as in America. Electric Equipment for three girls' schools : $4,500 As a precaution against fire, and because of the greater con¬ venience, it is proposed to equip the three flourishing schools for girls maintained by the Woman’s Board at Moulmein with electric lights. The total cost of installing the necessary equip¬ ment amounts to $4,500. It is estimated that this means approximately a cost of $9 per light. ASSAM GAUHATI Cotton College Salary of student pastor at Cotton College $1,250 Annual appropriation for student work 240 for the Students of the World 29 A unique work is being done among the students of Cotton College, a government institution at Gauhati, Assam. More than six hundred young men are enrolled, and for a num¬ ber of years the missionary, W. E. Witter, D.D., has been acting as student pastor at this institution. Through the kind gen¬ erosity of friends, a dormitory is being erected. Here is a re¬ markable opportunity for an American college to have its own representative at an important educational institution in the Orient. Girls’ School Cottage dormitory for girls' school $500 To complete assembly hall for girls' school 700 The flourishing girls’ school at Gauhati maintained by the Woman’s Board has no adequate place for general assembly. An increased enrolment also makes necessary another dor¬ mitory, which like the two already established will be built and conducted on the cottage plan. JORHAT The Jorhat Christian Schools Administration building $4,500 Equipment 1,000 Bible School building 7 A 00 Missionary residence 3 A°° Industrial department building (first section ) 2 A 00 Machinery and tools 2 A 00 Hospital 12,000 Assam is the backward province of India. Less than five per cent of the population are literate. Christian education is of the utmost importance for the physical, intellectual, as well as spiritual development of these people. At Jorhat Christian Schools 250 young men are now enrolled. Some of 30 Students of the United States In the blacksmith shop of the Industrial Department at the Jorhat Christian Schools them have walked two hundred miles to attend this institution. They come from fifteen different races, speaking numerous dialects. The additional equipment mentioned above will make a tremendous contribution in rebuilding the manhood of the entire province and in transforming fifteen races of poverty-stricken people into self-supporting, educated Christian men and women. GOLAGHAT Girls’ School New mission school building $gpoo Missionary residence S->°°° Dormitories {j at $/,ooo each) 3 poo The women of Assam are greatly to be pitied because of their degraded condition. In the plains of Assam there are as yet only two schools for girls. At present three boys in Assam receive a Christian education to one girl. A country cannot be raised above the level of its womanhood. The girls’ school for the Students of the World 31 at Golaghat has secured a fine site in the center of the town, and a new building together with a missionary residence will be of tremendous help in solving this educational problem. ; i!it ' 11 in Proposed Plan of Gologhat Mission Compound Boys’ Primary Boarding School 3^ Students of the United States Girls like these in Assam are waiting for a new school at Golaghat NOWGONG Two Scholarships : $83 At the Bible Training School at Multra are two Assamese girls from Nowgong being prepared for service as teachers and Bible women. A scholarship costing $42.50 per year should be provided for each. BENGAL-ORISSA BALASORE High School New dormitory $4,000 Annual maintenance of institution 3,136 A well equipped high school at Balasore is rendering im¬ portant service in providing Christian education to the young men of that province. Many students come from districts far removed from the city of Balasore, and for these dormitory accommodations should be provided at the earliest opportunity. for the Students of the World 33 KHARAGPUR Service for English-speaking people : $600 A large American and European colony is found at Kharag¬ pur, owing to the great steel company headquarters and plant at Sakchi, some distance away. For the sake, not only of these Europeans, but also of the Indian Christians, an aggres¬ sive evangelistic work is necessary, in order to meet the social problems occasioned by this industrial community. SOUTH INDIA MADRAS Dormitory for students $7 poo Annual maintenance of work among students 200 More than four thousand students are in attendance at Madras College, University of Madras and other institutions. Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Ferguson are doing a remarkable work in reaching students through the hospitality of their home. Their opportunity would be practically unlimited by the build¬ ing of a dormitory. There is no more important work in all India than to reach the great student population with the Gospel message. VELLORE Four scholarships : $320 At the Woman’s Christian Medical College at Vellore four Baptist girls may receive a medical education, to equip them for service among the women of their own people. A scholar¬ ship at $80 per year should be provided for each. 34 Students of the United States ONGOLE New Roof for Dormitory : $400 In order to prevent further damage during the heavy rains in South India, the dormitory of the girls’ school at Ongole should have a new roof. NELLORE Piano: $250 At the girls’ school maintained by the Woman’s Board a piano is urgently needed and one can be furnished at a cost of $250. BELGIAN CONGO A LMOST in the center of Africa is a fertile, elevated plateau, drained by the great Congo River and lying directly across the equator. This region is known as Bel¬ gian Congo, having an area of 900,000 square miles and a pop¬ ulation variously estimated from 14,000,000 to 30,000,000, who are divided into numerous tribes speaking 160 different dialects. American Baptists began missionary work in this region in 1884, by taking over the Livingstone Inland Mission, which began work in 1878. Heathenism, superstition and savagery still prevail in this vast region, and little has been done by the Belgian government for the economic and moral improve¬ ment of the population. KIMPESE Annual maintenance of the Congo Evangelical Training Institution : $ 1^375 Kimpese was opened as a Baptist mission station in 1908. The town is situated on a knoll within a beautiful valley at for the Students of the World 35 the toot of the Bangu Hills. It is on the Congo Railroad, about one hundred miles from Matadi, the Atlantic port city of the Congo region. Here the Congo Evangelical Training Institution, maintained jointly by American and English Bap¬ tists, was established. The campus now includes thirteen double brick houses for dormitories, class room buildings, dispensary, store room, carpenter shop, blacksmith shop and the missionary’s residence. The students bring their families, for in Congo the family is the greatest influence in any com¬ munity. These families occupy the brick houses, each apart¬ ment having its own garden plot. In the morning classes are conducted for both men and women, while the afternoons are devoted to industrial training. After graduating, the students go back to their villages and are able to work the ground, build chapels, furniture and all things necessary for the highest physical and spiritual life.

These schools act as feeders to the larger institution at Kimpese. Even the rudiments of a written language were unknown prior to the coming of the mission¬ aries. The natives are now quite willing to have their children educated and thus secure benefits which the parents were un¬ able to obtain. VANGA Annual maintenance of industrial school: $375 Industrial .training is of tremendous importance in Africa* It teaches the dignity of labor; it promotes economic better¬ ment; it encourages moral character; it develops a new social consciousness; and, above all, makes possible a self-supporting Christian church. Carpentry, brick-making, farming and other industrial pursuits are taught at this industrial school. for the Students of the World 37 GENERAL I N addition to providing buildings and equipment described in the foregoing pages, or as substitutes therefor, many col¬ leges will be interested in assuming the support of a missionary, who will thereby be designated as their own foreign represent¬ ative. Although salaries vary in different fields, in general the salary of an unmarried man is below $1,000, while that of a married man averages more than $1,200. The support of an American woman doctor, teacher or nurse in India or China involves $650 per year, in Japan $700 and in the Philippines or Africa $750. Where possible, arrangements will be made so that the students of a college desiring to undertake the support of a missionary may have assigned to them an alumnus of their own institution. It must be understood that such an arrange¬ ment can not be guaranteed, owing to the fact that so large a number of missionaries are already being supported by indi¬ viduals, churches and other organizations. At the present time missionaries in the service of the American Baptist For¬ eign Mission Society have received their education at the fol¬ lowing institutions: Acadia College, Wolfville, Nova Scotia Amherst College, Mass.
