The purpose of this monograph is to describe a successful effort in agricultural assistance to China. The term "technical assistance" to an-other country came into general usage with the Truman Point Four Pro-gram, first formulated in 1948. Technical assistance has been thought of primarily as taking special skills by citizens of one country to another country for a short period. But the type of assistance in agriculture at a much earlier period in China may be properly termed "educational assistance". The locale for the work discussed here was Nanking and the institution was the College of Agriculture and Forestry of the University of Nanking, established in 1913.

NANKING, CHINA, 1926-1946
