J 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.

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.

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.
