ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATIONS WORK
IN CHINA.

Honolulu's interest in the work of the China
Medical board has been somewhat more than
impersonal since the visit here of Dr. Simon
Flexner, Dr. Wallace Buttrick, DR.. Welch and
Others, representing the Rockefeller Founda-
ton, on their way to and from the Orient,
Therefore the news that the Foundation is max
ing large appropriations for the Chinese work
will be heard here with appreciation.
Members of the faculty of Shantung Chris
tan University, located in Tsinanfu, are much
elated by the announcement that the Rookie
Teller Foundation, through the China Medical
Board, will grant that institution fifty thousand
dollars for expenses of faculty and students
over period of five years. The fifty thousand
dollars will be used in constructing two new
wings to existing college buildings, for the
erection of dormitories for students and teach
ers, and for the further equipment of the labor
atories. All the money is to be expended in
preparation for medical education, or prepare
tory work leading up to medical course.
Sixty students will be sent to Tsinanfu from
the Union Medical College in Picking, which
is owned and directed entirely by the Rookie
Teller Foundation. These students will be the
preparatory class and first and second year
class medical men. The appropriation for the
school here is part of the general plan of the
Rockefeller Foundation for the betternent of
Medical education in China.

their livelihood lies and here is where those
who are industrious and thrifty are able to gain
