iNIERNAIJONAL MEDICAL
COLLEGE and. training
SCHOOL FOR NURSpS
By DR. R. J. MASSEY.
vMuch hna been said of late, both
North and. South, upon the subject of
medical training missionary schopl*.
and it la In thhi.-connection as a Gem
gian that I call attention to the fact
that Atlanta Is'the only 'city In the
Houth that, as far ns 1* at present
known, which possesses any hospitals
conducted on a religious ba*ls. Within
iur border* tttb* city*has three such In
stitutions. It is my design to call at
tention to the claims of the Interna
tional Medical College, and Training.
Sqhool for Nurses, as tho youngest of.
the three, which la now In It* second
yaar'a existence. . .
The basis of thl* Institution Is united-
. ly. evangelical. It Is managed by and
exlits for the benefit of tho various
denominations, who, by thus acting In
unison, .can do for all whut none could
do alone.
It la’dependent for Its support Ufcon
thb denominations to which ■!{ belongs,
not only ns the servant, but the child
of all, and as such Is entitled to their
maintenance.. - ■
Its object la to aid Intending medical
missionaries of the various evangelical
denominations to obtain medical edu
cation with legal title to practice as
Ut|etors of nvedlclne. It aid* its students
In/the following ways as fur as its
nmns will allow:
How It Aids Student*.
First. It furnlshqp* medical education
aiglktegree freOiOf cost.
Seqorid- It gives 'financial aid to
needy students by employment, loan or
gift. *•
Third. It provides Biblical Instruction
and knowledge of fhlsslons generally,
with special teaching In regard to tho
religions, customs and discuses of mis
sion lands.
-.Fourth. It brings Its students tngetli-
er t under Christian Influences, providing
for their board and residence ut a cheap
rate, and exercising u general cure for
thoin.
• Fifth. It trains its students in prac
tical medical mission work at Its mis
sion dispensaries ut home for service
abroad.
Sixth. It tests Its students by con
stant supervision. as to their fitness
fof and devotion to missionary service.
Seventh. It teaches Its students hotv
tq'.live and lubor In. harmony with
of differing creeds or views <>r
* advantages thus outlined, with
[exception** could not be furnished
well, If at all, were the students ut-
(Ung an ordinary medical college.
st year there were ten students, of
, n two Received free tuition, ns
Jjidate* for missionary work. The
tuition fees of the othqfs nre uj\ed to
pHtifeoga, the. benevolent-claim* «>f the
college. This year there are on hand
some ten or fifteen inquiries from vol
unteers who deslre*to go forth as med
ical missionaries, und express their
wishes to be trained at this Institution.
Of these, several wish to enter upon
their medical study at once. The fac
ulty, of which Dr. J. McKudden Gas
ton. a leading physician and surgeim.
Is dean, assisted by an able corps of
fifteen of Atlanta's best nnd noblest
physicians, -is offering them free tui
tion, free lodging and a low rate of
board, as an indorsement of this noble
work. It is only fit to mention:
Trustee* and Committee*.

CM*).
Under the head of "A Unique Insti
tution," Dr. Bell, of The Christian In
dex, has so fittingly spoken of this
insriical training school that with his
k permission It* 1* with great pleasure
that we quote him: -
Looks Aft*r Lord’s Work.
"When there Is a need In the Lord’*
work, n real need, He puts it;in tho
heart of some man or men to provide
for that need. 'In this case Dr. J. McF.
Gaston, of this city, conceived the
Idea of establishing a college for the
training of medical missionaries; It
layhtttVIfy’hpofrhfH’h'eiirt and Was,Tjy
him, laid* upon the hearts of others,
who sympathized with him In Ills de-
aim AGotak!? intn communication with
*h»^od«ty ut the North.
It was found that they would be glad
;to»a**l*t In )ihe^organization, and di
rection of the school, If It could be
started. Dr. George h. Dowkontt, who
was president of the society, cume to
Atlanta to confer with Dr. Gaston,
und ns a result there *has been opened
In the city the/International Medical
Missionary College and Training School
for. i Nurse* • Dr. Dowkontt, who was
himself a missionary for 30 years, and
knows the needs of tho work, Is presl-
debt; and!rpr. OiUtm. IfQuite n
number nfJtiie phasicidn*inf Atlanta
are giving their services gratuitously
tp the work. , They aim is primarily
to tmIn young men nnd young women
as medical missionaries, and the cur
riculum will be such as to enable every
graduate to ikism thoTHfj*
tlons prescrlbe’d by our i
tendants will ,not, hqw^
to medical missionaries,
be admitted at'reasonable rate*, and
the Income from other .students will go
to help support the Institution.
80 far ns we know, this Is the only
medical college designed especially for
the tmining of missionaries, and At
lanta ought to be congratulated on the
fact that it Is located within her bord
ers and controlled by her own men.
We hope to see it grow Into a mighty
power for the sending out to the mis
sion fields 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 und 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 obsurvunt mem
bers of the medical profession, and
that.is In Instruction, Instruction Is
given by recitations, for which the
sutddty prepares himself by the careful
Atuciy «»f un assigned chapter of a text
book; by laboratory exercises. In which
the student performs for himself va
rious experiments under the super
vtstoq of laboratoryassistants; . by
demonstrations In which the professor
performs, for the whole clnss, or for a
section of. the class, some experiment
not well fitted for laboratory exercise,
lecturing during the progress of the
demonstration, by Illustrated lecture*,
supplementing the standard text
bo4)ks; by conferences. In which stu
dents und professor Informally discuss
announced topics. Up to the present,
Instruction In medical schools has been
almost entirely Imparted by lectures,
examinations of students following the
lecture. The direct method adopted
by, this new school appeals to the more
direct common sense way of getting at
opce to tho subject taught.
By courtesy of the Presbyterian hos
pital, Tabernacle infirmary, Wesley
Memorial hospital und Pasteur Insti
tute. when opportunity -permits, cllnl-
caLJeciwai* will be .delivered -by the
members of the medical boards con
nected' wltir the above-mentioned In
stitutions, nt such times as they may
see fit/
Appointments are made in the Grady
hospital, Presbyterian ImspUui, Taber
nacle infirmary and Wesley Memorial
hospital, by competitive examinations.
The degree of doctor of medicine Is
conferred upon the conditions of the
legal requirements and the necessary
examinations, already recognized in the
state of Georgia. ,
This school Is the only medical col
lege of allopathic faith In Atlanta and
within the radius of many miles from
Atlanta which admits women on equal
terms with men, and It Is expected that
numerous young ladle* wUi take ad
vantage of thla. .
