INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL
AND . TRAINING
SCHOOL FOR NURSES
By DR. R. J. MASSEY.
Much has been said of lute, both
North and South, upon the subject of
medical training- missionary school*,
arjd it la, in ttyls connection as a Geor
gian that L call attention to the fact
that 'Atlanta la the only city In the
South that, as far as la at present
known, which possesses any hospitals
conducted on a religious basis/ Wtthlh,
Its bprdo;?* this city has three such Ip-,
stltutlon*. It Is my design to call at
tention to the claims of the Interna
tional Medical College and Training
,8choo| for Nurses,' as the youngest of
kjhe three, which is n<>w In-Its second
IH
. nr** existence,
i The basis of this Institution Is united
ly evangelical. It Is managed by and
exists for the benefit of the various
denominations, who, by thus acting In
. unison, can do for all whut none could
do alone.
It is dependent for its support upon
the denominations to which It belongs,
not only as the servant, but the child
or all. and as such Is entitled to their
maintenance...
Its object is to aid, intending medlepl
missionaries of the various evangelical
denominations to obtain medical edu
cation with le^al title to practice «4
doctors of medicine/It aids its students
the following . ways us far an its
.means will allow:
How It Aida 8tudenta.
'.First. It furnishes medical education
gives financial aid to
needy students by employment, loan or
%
bird. It provhfes Biblical Instruction
and knowledge of missions generally.
*»*lth special teaching In regard to the
religions, customs and diseases of inis,
slon lands.
Fourth. It brings Its students togeth
er under Christian Influences, providing
(or their board and.iesldem-e.ut a cheap
tale, and exerclsingiu general care for
them.
Fifth. It trains Its students In prac*
ileal medical mission work at Its inis
slon dispensaries ut home for -service
abroad. ,
Sixth. It tests Its students by con
stant supervision, us to their fitness
/or and devotion to missionary service.
B . Seventh. It teaches its students how
to live * and labor In harmony with
■hose of differing creeds or view
truth.

Of these, several wish to enter upon
their medical study at once. The fuc

Bo fur as we know, this |* the only
medical college designed especially for
the training of missionaries, and At
lanta ought to be congratulated on the
fact that It Is located within her bord
ers ami controlled by her own men.
We hopo to see it grow Into a mighty
power for the sending out to the mis
sion llelds of both doctors and nurses,
well equipped in head and heart for
the great work of the Master.
Filling a Long-felt Want.
This young and growing aspirant for
public favor and forthcoming' potent
factor In achieving great good In for
eign missionary fields Is bound to sup
ply a place, the necessity for which
has for more than half a century been
felt seriously ‘by all observant mem
bers of the imsllcal profession, and
that is in Instruction. Instruction Is
given by recitations, for which the
student prepares himself by the careful
study vf ati assigned chapter of a text
book: by laboratory exercises. In whloh
the student performs for himself va
rious experiments under the super
vision of laboratory usMiHtnnts; by
demonstrations in which the professor
performs, for the whole class, or for a
section of the class, some experiment
not well fitted for laboratory exercise,
lecturing during the progress of the
demonstration, by Illustrated lectures,
supplementing the standard text
books; by conferences. In which stu
dents and professor Informally discuss
announced topics. Up to the present,
Instruction in medical schools has been
almost entirely Imparted by lectures,
examinations of students following tho
lecture. The direct method adopted
by this new school appeals to the more
direct common sense way of getting at
once to the subject taught.
By courtesy of the Presbyterian ho*
pita| w Tabernacle Infirmary, Wesley
Memorial hospital and Pasteur Insti
tute. when opportunity permits, clini
cal lectures will be delivered by the
member*-of the medical boards con-
