China Training-School Buildings Under Way
Our readers will be glad to learn that work on the China training-school buildings has begun. It has been delayed somewhat on account of conditions that prevented the stamping of deeds. However, these conditions have been overcome, and a note from Brother O. A. Hall in the Asiatic News-Letter states that the contract has been let for five buildings: “(1) A school building 40 x 60 feet, two stories high, having on the first floor four class rooms, a laboratory, and two offices; on the second floor a chapel and library and book room. (2) A building 25 x 96 feet, to be used as a boys’ dormitory, living-rooms for Chinese teachers, and boys’ dining-room. This building will accommodate sixty boys. (3) A building to accommodate thirty-six girls, with their teacher, also rooms for dining, and morning and evening worship. Besides these, there will be two houses for foreign teachers. A large amount of material is already on the ground, and the work of excavating and laying of foundations is under way. The contract calls for all work to be completed by October 31, and it is hoped that we may be able to open school about the middle of November.”
