Development office director Chou Tien-hung explains that at that time, regulations required government-registered schools to include military training in their curricula. But this went against the Mennonite principle of pacifism, and since there was no way to reconcile this principle with the regulations, the hospital saw no other choice than to close the school, thus losing its own source of nurses.
發展部主任周恬弘指出，當時向政府立案辦學校就必需按規定加入軍訓課程，由於上軍訓課有違基督教的和平理念，在理念與現實無法兼顧時，門諾只好選擇放棄，也失去為自己培養護理人員的園地。
