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. ft Thfr advantages thus outlined, WW exceptions, could not be furnished f at all, were the students at- in ordinary medical college. *ur there were ten students, of vo received . free tuition, •acfoi: missionary work.

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- u*a4«d—with, the above-mentioned In stitutions, 4t such times as they may see -fit.
