the War It is very difficult to get hold of any official or trustworthy reports of what Germany actually did before the War in the sphere of higher education of the Chinese. Perhaps one of the most striking evidences of the noiselessness "f German education that I can give is the following: Year by year the China Mission Year Book since its first issue in 1910, has devoted a section to medical education in China—note the section has been for the whole field of medical education and not merely the missionary part of the field, It has always been written by a competent medical man. In the first issue we are told (p, 221).
"With one exception, whatever medical edvcrtion of men is being done i, Central China is in connexion with missionary schools. The exception is the recently established German medical school in Shanghai, which proposes to teach medicine in the German language and hopes to start its medical classes next autumn (1910). Up to the present time, a great deal has been done in the matter of organization, and something like 7 students have' licen enrolled for preliminary work in German and science. The school has sustained great loss in the death of Dr. Paulus, its founder; but the nucleus of a strong faculty reinaing and considerable support both locally and from Germany is assur.
I have searched in vain through the following years (sry set lacks the Second issue) for any—further reference to this school which had been brought to the notice of the readers in such an_ interesting yuanner as I have just quoted. presume the office from which the Mission Year Book was edited was telephonic touch with the very School itself. It was this school which the Commission sent to_investigate the state of medical education on behalf of the China Medical Board (Rockefeller Founda. tion) in 1914, placed as clearly the top of all the institutions which they inspected. The students! of this school have proposed call themselves "Teh I" rather than "I Shih" as a special mark distinction (ie. "'German Healer:
"Healing Scholars""—this latter being the ordinary Chinese equivalent of ''Doctor.'')
