“...PREFACE
THE Missionary body in China and students of missions abroad
are under a debt of gratitude to the Christian Literature
Society for the annual publication since 1910, of editions of the
China Mission Year Book. That Society freely offered its services
for this purpose at a time when there was no other organ in
existence to bring out such a book.
Since one of the main functions of the China Continuation
Committee is to study the development of the Christian Move-
ment in China, the Christian Literature Society, in January of
this year, requested it to assume full editorial responsibility for the
series in the future, and the Committee agreed to do so. The
Christian Literature Society continues to act as the publisher and
in the event of the China Continuation Committee ceasing at any
future date to edit the book, all right in the serieswill revert to
the publisher.
The responsibility for the general character of the book rests
with the Editor and with the Editorial Committee....”

“...reports of the Special Committees of
the China Continuation Committee are given than last year, as all
these reports are printed in full in the Proceedings of the Fourth
Annual Meeting of the Committee and have been widely circulated
amongst missionaries in China, and the Secretaries of the Mission-
ary Societies in Europe and America.*
The policy of previous issues has been followed in not attempt-
ing to report on the w7ork of the missions of the Roman Catholic
and Greek Churches, beyond merely giving the statistics of the
work of the Roman Catholic Missions, which are available in
printed form. Those who desire fuller information regarding the
present work of the Roman Catholic Church in China are referred
to a book which has recently been published in French by the
Imprimerie des Lazaristes in Peking. The title of the book is
Le Christi anisine de Chine et du Japon and is the first of a series of
Roman Catholic Church Year Books to be published in China.
Several changes have been made in...”

“...of the work and
healthfulness of its growth. No Church or Society is likely to
understand how its own work is developing, nor to adopt and
follow, during a period of years, a wise and consistent policy, with-
out a careful study of the numerical growth of its several depart-
ments. The figures given at the back of the book have been
kindly furnished by the missions in China. If studied along with
the histories of these societies the statistics and charts will raise
many questions, the correct answers to which are of the utmost
importance to the progress of the Kingdom of God in China.
The Editor desires to express his thanks to all those who have
assisted in making this book possible. The response to requests to
supply articles was so cordial and general as to make it evident
that the value of such a yearly review of the work is being re-
cognized by an increasingly large number of people. His special
thanks are due to the writers of the articles which appear in Part
I., Rev. A. II. Smith...”

“...inquired of a resident whether there
were any missionaries there. The reply was given with
deep feeling: The suburbs are simply infested with
them. In the 1915 Year Book it was shown that there
are six cities in China with more than one hundred mission-
aries apiece, Shanghai leading with 358, and ten others
having more than fifty each. These surprising figures show
wliat an incentive and what an opportunity there is for a
redistribution of our forces.
If the number of workers has increased, so also have
their qualifications risen. A large proportion of the present
recruits are college or university men and women, of these a
goodly number are decorated with the golden key of the Phi

GENERAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Beta Kappa society (implying high rank in scholarship).
The missionary has often, perhaps commonly, enjoyed a
selective preparation. Under some boards, at least, not
more than one out of twenty-five applicants reaches the
field. Of these many have been active in the Young Mens
Christian Associations or Young Womens Christian
Associations of their institutions. Many have come from
Student Volunteer Bands, and have studiedperhaps have
taughtsome of the many mission study textbooks now so
widely used. Some have specialized in sociological or other
lines. Among them the degree of Ph.D. is too common to
attract special notice.
Upon reaching China these capable, earnest, and eager
young people are more and more gathered in language
schools, which are increasing in size and importance and
meeting an evident demand. The range of study and the
rapidity of acquirement by the students greatly out-distance
anything possible under the old system, unless with

“...sometimes unstable steam-
launch.
The remoter mission stations in China are still remote,
and for long will be so; yet one after another they will be
overtaken by the development of railways, till China has a
network of them north, south, east, and west, together with
many diagonals. Their economic effects upon the nation
are, and in the future are yet more to be, immeasurable.
This is the true Money-Shaking Tree of Chinese legend.
From the ports jinrikshas have spread to the interior cities,
and one may now bump more or less joyfully over the
stones of such capitals as Tsinan, Paotingfu, Taiyiianfu,
Kaifengfu, Wuchang, Changsha, Hangchow, and even
Foochow, and also in many market-towns as well. In the
larger places the rubber-tired vehicles (euphemistically
termed glue-skin chiao p'i) are a great improvement
on their rattling predecessors. Electric trams have been
introduced into Shanghai since 1907, and also into Tientsin.
In the former city the confident prophecies of riots were not...”

“...to climb upon lofty
pedestals to be seen of mena new enterprise in China.
The species of locust tree introduced by the Germans at
Tsingtau, has made that port a forestry exhibit. The
energetic activities in similar lines of the University of Nan-
king, has attracted the attention and won the favour of the
Central Government, as well as that of the provinces. That
the ancient Spring Festival should be now also celebrated as
an Arbor Day by official command, shows (in case Ihe
order is obeyed) what great possibilities lie just before China.
A reduction in telegraphic rates throughout China, is
a welcome sign of progress. So is the general and growing
use of the telephone, which even to the Chinese has become
indispensable. The Chinese postal system which in 1914
handled more than 692 million articles (as compared wTith
113 million in 1906) is of increasing importance in the
political, commercial, and social life of China, and its future
seems certain to be even greater in proportion....”
