sible ought to be arranged and if it is
thought best the whole thing might be outlined by the China Medical
Missionary Association. For entrance requirements there should be
presented a solid amount of Chinese and English, with some Latin
and perhaps one other modern language. That may seem a great deal
to ask at present, but our higher schools of learning ought soon to
be able to supply such a demand, as well as the necessary training
in mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. In other words the student
must be equipped in the very best manner for his lifework."

"During the present generation at least, if not longer, the women
of China will continue to seek medical advice from women
physicians, and to meet the demand we must confront and solve
another problem. Co-education is impracticable just at this
juncture. We must have either an annex to the men's college, or a

greet the blaze of day in this wonderful country of ours, when she
has wakened from the long sleep we often hear about, and taken her
place among the nations of the world, and God and man shall see
'that it is good.'"

At the close of 1907 Dr. Kahn had been back in China for twelve years,
years of arduous, almost unremitting labour; and her fellow missionaries
felt that before the work on the new hospital building began she ought to
have a vacation. Certainly she had earned it. Not only had she worked
faithfully for seven years in Kiukiang, but she had, within the five
succeeding years, established medical work in a large city, where she was
the first and only physician trained in Western sciences. Assisted only by
two nurses whom she herself had trained, she had kept her dispensary
running the year around, all day and every day. Moreover, she had kept the
work practically self-supporting, in spite of the fact that she had refused
to economize by using inferior medicines, or bottles of rough glass which
could not be thoroughly cleansed. She had insisted that her drugs be of the
purest, and dispensed in clean, carefully labelled bottles, and had often
