  4.   Ida Thompson explained in her account of the school in the book, With Our Missionaries in China,
    "This name (Bethel Girls' School) was adopted in compliment with my native state. I came out to China from Wisconsin, and was maintained at the expense of that conference. The Wisconsin Conference had called their intermediate school "Bethel School"; so this name was chosen for our mission school. Aside from, Bethel - House of God - appealed to us as being an appropriate title for a Christian school set in the mist of a great heathen city
  5.   Post Bethel School Years
    Ida Thompson took a brief furlough in 1920 after the school mergers; but her hearts was still in China. Soon she returned to the mission field and worked in Central and Eastern China for the next ten years. She was at one stage the preceptress of Central China Training Institute, and later the preceptress of Shanghai Adventist Sanitarium. She labored for another ten years until her health conditions forced her to retire. In 1932, she returned permanently to the United States.

    Upon return, she chose to live in Burbank, California near elder borther, Burton Thompson, who was a medical doctor. After over thirty years of dedicated service in China, Ida Thompson passed away in Burbank on January 22, 1939.
