Malaysia, 



ilics and thcrctorc soon to bc in the dircc- 

 tion of the life around them. it niay not 

 immodestly be said that thc Anglo-Chinese 

 school at Singaporc, strengthened by a 

 small endowinent, for which it waits, will 

 as proioundly arTect the life of Southeast- 

 ern Asla as the Roberts Coltege at Con- 

 stantinople, or thc great Prcsbytcrian 

 school at Bcirut affects Southeastern Eu- 

 rope and Norwestern Asia. An investment 

 of $50,000 by soine inan who sees the value 

 of education and the protound importance 

 of putting clear, ctliical thinkmg and spir- 

 itual ideas into thc minds of the coming 

 leaders of these young lands, will produce 

 incalculablc results for all time. 



These schools have produced a desire in 

 many othcr centers to have similar work 

 begun, and indced it will be seen farthcr 

 on that our entry into the Island of Sumatra 

 is the direct result of our school system. 

 Takc it all in all it is doubtiul whethcr any 

 Mission auywhcrc in all Asia has so great 

 an edueational prestige, and so efTective 

 and yet inexj>ensive a chain of schools as 

 those of Malaysia, in which four thousand 

 children are taught in a number of schools.
