STUDENTS' - TEACHING N CHINA r ,'*&;?<-ir- . - ? i* Physical Training School Main tained in Shanghai. The vast majority of Chinese men remember their mothers as cripples. Many a girl wanders Into a mission school who has not had her own feet bound, but has never seen a woman of her own class who could walk, and, therefore, she walks In a most ungain ly fashion-scarcely conscious of tier natural feet The Chinese Medical Association an Association composed only of Chi nese physicians mostly graduates from American and English Institutions have asked the entire educated commu nity of the country to co-operate in better health for the children of Chi na. All the Mission Boards operating In China felt that one of the greatest I contributions the Young Women's Christian Association could offer to the health of China would be to .es- ? tablish a normal school for the train ing of physical directors. Accordingly, in Shanghai, which Is j the greatest port in China, the nation al committee established such a school J In 1914. The school has won favor | with all educationists, both missionary and government. There have already been nine graduates from this school, i : Miss Ying Mei Chun, a graduate of ? the Wellesley School of Physical Edu- j cation, has been dean of the school, j Graduates of the school are scattered ; from Canton to Peking, teaching with . conspicuous success in twelve mission and government schools.
