The first fruits of the plan for better missionary union are already appearing. 'The Presbyterian Mission is planning for a native girls' school, which shall take over the boarding pupils of the american Board Mission of this place.
The Mission has already in operation one day school for girls, held in the nearest village, and managed entirely by the native church. It hopes to help speedily in the establishment of many more of the same kind. There is abundance of material for schools and a growing purpose to have them, but qualified teachers are of course rare. The idea of the Japanese-Chinese school proposed and to be built in our north suburb, is that of a normal school presumably for men. The missions have a fine field in doing a like work for women, which field the Chinese are also likely fo enter, but with foreign leadership if the foreigner will awake to the situation.
