“...PREFACE
This Year Book has settled down into a biennial
It appeared first in 1910. It takes, as a matter of fact,
just about a year to secure material and put it through
the press. Unfortunately at the time of writing this
preface some leading Christian journals have not yet
published a review of the previous issue. So perhaps it
is just as well that the Year Book comes out every other
year.
Securing material for this Year Book is never easy.
The contributors are all busy people and most of them are
in important executive positions. As in the previous1 is-
sue one-third of the contributors are Chinese. "With only
rare exceptions the chapters that deal with conditions in
China in general are written by Chinese. The writers
accepted their task willingly. For their share in producing
this Year Book the Editorial Board is profoundly grateful.
The Year Book goes out as another instance of cooperative
service in China-
One chapter arranged for"Rural Sendee Unions
and Community Parishes'' was...”

“...the Chinese Home Missionary
Society. This society carries on, therefore, only a small
part of home mission work in China. Likewise the chapter
on work among1 Tribes' People covers only a small part
of that work. Since the Editor was unable to secure more
than the two localized accounts1 included in this volume
he was at one time inclined to leave the topic out altogether.
However, arrangements have already been made for a
comprehensive chapter on the subject in the next issue of
the Year Book.
Two improvements appear in this Year Book.
First, a map has been included within the covers in-
dicating some of the most important places referred to in
the text, and appendix VII lists all the places named in
the text indicating not only their provincial location but
also all of the variant spellings adopted by the writers re-
ferring to them. Unfortunately most writers on China (even
those in China) seem unaware that the government stand-
ardized the Romanization of place names for postal and

“...issues of this
Year Book. In 1931 Dr. A. R. Kepler, Executive Secre-
tary of the Church of Christ in China, recorded the
meeting of the China Baptist Alliance in the preceding
year; the organization of the China Baptist Council and
its findings; the vote of the Canadian Methodist Church
in Szechwan to unite with the Church of Christ in China;
the similar vote of the London Mission Churches in
North China; the official statements of the Church of
Christ in China on Church Unity and the resolutions of
the Lambeth Conference with reference to the United
Church in South India.2 The wider aspects of "Coopera-*
tion and Union in China" were dealt with by Rev. E. C.
Lobenstine in the Year Book for 1932-33.3
English The completion of the reunion of three
Methodists Methodist Churches in England in 1932
Unite with the resultant "Methodist Church of
England", brought about a similar union of
the Chinese churches related to the two missionary socie-
ties of these bodies having work in China. Their first...”

“...fundamental to famine prevention, namely,
the improvement of the economic condition of the pro-
vince by means of investment in conservancy work.
Cooperative The last Year Book contained para-
Credit graphs pointing out that one of the most
Societies serious factors contributing to famine in
China is the lack of institutions by which
financial reserves can be accumulated by a thrifty family
for the meeting of this inevitable emergency. Report
was made also that for ten years the C.I.F.R.C. had been
working on a program of rural improvement which in-
cludes cooperative credit societies; that the experiment
had extended so far and continued with so much success
that one of the Shanghai banks had allied itself with the
C.I.F.R.C. in this work and that two others were taking
steps thereto; also., that the National Flood Relief Com-
mission had assigned to the C.I.F.R.C. administration of
the refunded Farm Rehabilitation loans in Kiangsi and
Anhwei with somewhat similar arrangements in Hup eh
and Hunan...”

“...in connec-
tion therewith. An experiment is well under way at Pao-
ting, by which surgical students in the Hopei Medical
College go to the Taylor Memorial Hospital of the Pres-
byterian Mission for instruction in its surgical wards.
Such forms of cooperation are welcome and their number
should be rapidly increased. Canton hopes for large gov-
ernment grants to aid in the completion of plans for a
Sun Yat-sen Memorial Medical School, to be conducted as
a merger by Lingnan University, Hackett Medical College
and Canton Hospital, the latter being the pioneer medical
institution in China.
Hunan-Yale The Hsiang Ya (Hunan-Yale) Medical
Medical College College in Changsha is giving continued
thought to the proposal for an experi-
mental curriculum, discussed by Dr. Yen in his article in
the previous Year Book. A special conference was called
in Nanking in April 1935 to consider whether there are
elements in a total social program in Hunan which are of
adequate supplementary value to offer an enlarged...”
