Edith graduated from school in Chefoo about 1917. The war was not yet over, so she and Margaret remained at home in Kiaohsien for some time.

Egron arrived back in China from Sweden via Denmark and the United States along with other Swedish Baptist missionaries returning to China: Reverend and Mrs Leander with their daughter Anna-Stina and son Yngve and Miss Nina Fredriksson.
Soon after his arrival Egron became, at only twenty-three years of age, the principal of the higher education [for all schools in the mission?]. At that time the schools became coeducational. [Len - verify this. Chapter 1929 says they became co-educational in that year]. He also started formal Chinese language lessons. Egron spoke Chinese, but he needed to improve his formal Chinese, and his reading of Chinese. [Assumption on my part the Egron started formal Chinese language lessons. One assume, so esp. considering the photo on this page. Plus someone else did the same thing. (Oscar?]
