In the Woman sAuxiliary (a missionary organization), the part taken by tin-Chinese women, both in organisation and in producing UJPweekly lesson sheets, was larger than heretofore. Theforeign \\oinen workers held a con Terence of their own forthe lirst time, and a Woman sAdvisory Committee of threewas appointed for the purpose of giving them a moreadequate hearing ia the administration of the Mission.^ m> .Board of Education becamePrimar Schoolsactive and at its suggestion a Superintendentof Day Schools was appointed (a foreign woman) and aChinese Assistant Superintendent, under the stimulus ofwhose supervision both boys and girls primary schoolshave made more progress than for many years past. Thiswas evident both in the amount of fees received and in thestanding of the schools as tested by the examinations of theCentral China Christian Educational Union, in which forthe past two years all our primary schools are expected toregister.Divinity andBoone Divinity School, where most of theteaching is done through the medium ofDeaconess ,. / ij.ii nSchools English, has had twelve students, and AllSaints Divinity School, where all the teachingisin Chinese, has had six students during the year, all eighteenof whom are to be ordained on completing their course anindication that our educational work is not failing to produce some of the results for which it is specially fostered.Similar in its significance is the fact that three well-qualifiedwomen are to enter the newly organised course of trainingfor deaconesses which begins early in 1916. This marks astage in the development of our women s evangelistic workcomparable to that reached in the medical work whenChinese women began to be trained thoroughly in medicine.
