But this magazine is a chronicle—not only of holidays but also of the three months between. This term has seen several changes for the better in the schools. The B.S. gates have been replaced by a handsome pair bearing in gilt the school monogram. These gates were presented to the school by the Andrew and Moore families. A choir, inaugurated by Mr. Houghton and com- posed of about forty boys and girls, has been formed to improve the singing in the Memorial Hall Services. This has proved a great success and during the course of the term the new choir has learnt several settings and chants, which they have rendered during the Services. Since Dr. Hogg...”

“...parties for the Winter Holidays. However, the doctor and nurses have been able to send most of them away from Hospital before the end of term. Towards the end of term the majority in both the Girls’ and Boys’ Schools were inoculated for typhoid. This prevented those in the B.S. from sitting for the usual terminal examinations. Needless to say the School—and especially the Junior members—were perfectly satisfied with the plan, though the term did seem to come to a tame ending without the usual rush and excitement. But the Girls’ School could not evade the difficulty so easily, owing to the fact that term marks are not reckoned. So the tests—with only one hour papers—were rushed through between the second and third times of inoculation. Though we hoped to have had the two etchings of the Schools in a previous number of the magazine, we are glad to be able to print one in this issue. We are in- debted to Mr. Edwards for these fine drawings....”

“...^Kipling Aborting. A novel entertainment was given on the last Mon- day of term in the form of a programme whose items were chosen solely from Kipling’s works. A lecture on Kipling at the beginning of the term had aroused great interest amongst the scholars, with the result that a Kipling Evening was arranged by the Boys’ and Girls’ Schools. The proceedings of the evening were opened by Mr. McCarthy, the chairman. The lower forms of both schools contributed several recitations and songs. The individual recitations by various members of Form Va of the Bovs’ School were much appreciated, and loud applause greeted Winifred Lack and Marjorie Moore, for the clear enuncia- tion and careful expression with which they recited. No Kipling concert would be complete without an extract from the ‘Just So Stories', and ‘The Beginning of the Armadil- los’, perfectly rendered by four upper school girls, roused hearty applause. One of the four girls, Mary Abbott, added greatly to the success of the evening...”

“...18 These gates, which now command the entry from the Beach Road to the B.S. field, were erected during the latter half of the last term. The Dedication Service, con- ducted by Mr. Coulthard, was held on the 22nd. of August and was attended by a large number, including all the scholars staying at the schools. The meeting commenced with the singing of a hymn, “Our God, our help in ages past’’, after which Mr. Coul- thard read the 145th. Psalm. Then Mr. McCarthy read the letter from the donors and made his speech, as given below: “The beautiful gates, which have been given to the Boys’ School, like all its other property, belong to the China Inland Mission, and a record of the gift with a plan of the gates is in the Headquarters of the Mission in Shanghai. But the care of these gates will devolve on the School and, in the name of the Boys' School, I accept with gratitude this timely and useful gift, and with it the responsibility for the due and proper care of the gates....”

“... The Choir first made its appearance on Sunday the 23rd. Sept . with the idea of leading the singing in the Memorial Hall Services. It is composed of eighteen, girls, six of whom sing alto, and fifteen boys. Mr. Houghton, the choir-master, has worked to make the experiment a success and the increased volume of sound as well as the new pieces sung by the choir have fully justified the at- tempt. The seating arrangements have also been recently altered, the central pews being reserved for the schools. BOYS’ SCHOOL PREFECTS. C. E. Fairclough (School Captainj J. Stobie A. G. Smith G. P.
