94 CHINA MISSION YEAR BOOK.China have gone about in a practical way to create aconstituency from which the institution will constantlydraw. By the uniting of all the Christian primary andsecondary schools of the province into the West ChinaChristian Educational Union, with kindergartens at thebase and the university at the apex of the pyramid, therewill be a steady stream of students coming up from ourChristian homes right through the graded union coursesto the university. At the present time the constituencyis by no means confined to these Christian schools. Theuniversity already has such a good name that manyoutsiders are seeking entrance. The only thing deterring them is their inability to measure up to the standardrequired. It the hopes of the promoters of the universityare realised, and the teaching equipment and staff perfected to the degree planned, there is no fear but thatthe practical Chinese youth of these western provinceswill flock to us by the scores.The need of having such an institution as is plannedis quite evident. There is no doubt that in the course oftime the government university here will be brought to amuch higher standard of efficiency that it has at the present time attained. It will likely be the case then that theoutside students who come to us will not be so numerous.Should that prove so, the fact remains that one university, though backed by the government, will not be sufficient to cater to the needs of 60,000,000 people. There isthe further fact that the Church of Christ in China isbound to extend and increase just as it has done in everyother land, so that the students coming from our Christian homes will soon tax our capacity. There is a gooddeal also to be said for a private institution of higherlearning under Christian auspices, yet free from narrowsectarianism as this university will necessarily be, certainly until such time as Chinese education may be placedon a Christian basis. Even then such an institution asthis would have intrinsic value because of the spirit ofbreadth and sincerity that will always pervade its work.
MISSION SCHOOLS FOR MEN AND BOYS. 95The founders have expressed the definite hope thatthe university may develop along the following lines :Steady advance to higher grade and wider scope ofwork, keeping in mind always constant adaptation to thereal needs of China.Increasing support from, and government by, Chinese.Its ultimately becoming in every sense a Chineseinstitution at such time as it shall be possible to leaveit in the hands of Chinese, with the assurance that theideals of the founders will be carried out no less faithfully than if the management were to remain in thehands of the missionaries themselves.The ultimate recognition by the Chinese authoritiesof the degrees of the university. It is also hoped thatwhen the work done reaches the proper standard thedegrees may be recognized by some Western Universities.Neither of these hopes are being built upon, but thepolicy is to develop such an effective institution that itswork w T ill be on a par with that carried on in WesternUniversities and the advantages of an education underits aegis become evident to all men. E. J. CARSON.In South China.In the small compass allotted to this section of thechapter it will be only possible to little more than glanceat some of the many higher institutions, and call attentionto the still more numerous primary schools which havethe southern coast of this mightybeen established alongempire.But even such a brief survey cannot prove otherwisethan inspiring, for these institutions can be nothing lessthan mighty agencies for righteousness and good citizenship.From the kindergarten to the university is a longway, but all along that pathway shines forth the light".thatlighteth every man sanctuaries in very truth
