cjttiss Wyne J£ome <j4fter Cjfive Rjears in Orient

AFTER spending over five years in hospital work in Peking, China, Miss Mar-
garet Wyne (Rho '11), has returned to Macomb for a year's visit while
on a leave of absence from the Peking Union Medical College hospital.
Miss Wyne went to China in 1925, being sent by the Methodist Foreign Board
of New York City. For three years she worked as a nurse in the Methodist Mission
hospital at Peking. For the last two and a half years she has been employed as
a nurse at the Peking Union Medical College hospital. This institution is maintained
by the John D. Rockefeller Foundation.
The revolutions and fighting in China the past few years have effected Miss
Wyne's work at Peking very little. That section of the country was not in the
midst of the revolution and no actual warfare took part in her section of Peking.
The American legation and marine detachments often warned the hospital and
the Americans in Peking of coming dangers but Miss Wyne never left Peking
on account of danger of the reported fights. Two years ago this summer many
persons fled from Peking to Japan and Korea when an approaching conflict was
reported, but Miss Wyne remained at the hospital.

Due to the poor methods of transportation and the dangers of traveling
through China, Miss Wyne saw very little of that country except that in the
immediate vicinity of Peking and Shanghai. She visited for a while throughout
Korea and Japan.
Miss Wyne learned the language of the Chinese, since only a few persons
there speak English. During the five years she has been in China, there has been
a rapid development in all kinds of civilization. Old China is fast becoming a
new China, especially in the cities, she reports. In the rural sections conditions
remain quite primitive while the cities are grasping modern ideas and develop-
ments more rapidly. Miss Wyne states that the Chinese, who are generally
thought of as conservative people who are slow to do things, are in reality quick
to grasp and adopt new ideas of civilization.

Peking is a city of over a million inhabitants. I t is a very old-fashioned
city, compared with other cities of the Orient. There is as much difference between
Shanghai and Peking, as there is between New York City and a small city, Miss
Wyne stated. The first street car system in Peking was brought there while Miss
Wyne was there.
She left Peking on April 17. On April 22 she sailed from Yokohama, Japan,
arriving in California May 8. She stopped over night for a visit at Honolulu,
M a w a i i a n Islands. She expects to leave Macomb about the first of July and
a°rf i ^ o r k City where she will attend summer school at Columbia University,
nd later visit several eastern hospitals. She will return to Macomb before
returning to China next year.—Macomb (III.) Daily Journal
