The Association has thirty active members , daily prayer meeting, good social work and is a vigorous association as a, whole. The Association in lanj'-ang College, EJhanghai, has finished its first year with a, solid history, and is in growing condition. There is beginning to be a cheerjng demand for foreign teachers in Governraent schools which we need to be reexly to meet. Present inclinations are toward the reduction of the list of JapaneBe teachers in Chinese schools, and if the schools which are already calling for foreign teachers are well supplied this ought soon to be an open door to us with iiniaeasured possibilities. In all the Government schools the present situation seems to be that any school can be opened where the rien in charge locally can be led to see the value of the work. The student irolunteer id-ea:- Boone College has a real Volunteer Band though not bj-'"" that name. There is a very general desire among the students to evangelize China, but the average group of leaders in d:a Association blush when you ask how many men are preparing to enter the Ministry, and the exaltation of the Ministry as a life calling is the iimaediate need in this direction. In the twenty-five schools visited students are preaching regularly in the A community of the schools, and there is a cheering evangelistic spirit but the number of men on record as preparing for the ministry could be multiplied by five hundred withou,t da,nger of crowding the profession.
