EDITORIAL.
holidays—even though they will seem
gX ummer
very far off and unreal to those who read this
number in the bleak, biting February weather—is the point
at which we re-open our chronicle of school life. C.S.S.M.
Camps for the Senior boys and girls in the school were an
innovation this year, and proved to be weeks which will
remain long in the memories of the campers.
The Opening Service was taken by Mr. Davies, and
we launched upon the unknown waters of another school
year. Tn this its first term, epidemics have been conspicu-
ous by their absence, a fact for which we...”

“...(IT ’ie ^am'ne condition in the far off provinces of
Kansu and Shensi claimed our attention during
the first four Monday evening lectures of this term. Mr.
(t.F. Andrew left Chefoo on the seventeenth of March for
the North West of China, where, on behalf of the Famine
Relief Committee, lie went to investigate the cause and
extent of the need, and to find the best way of bringing
relief to the starving thousands. It was our great privilege
to hear a fairly detailed account of the time he spent up
there, and the vivid pictures brought before us, gave us
some conception of the appalling state of those parts.
His route was as follows. Crossing to Tientsin hv steamer,
Mr. Andrew then went up to Peiping, and from there, first
South to Chengchow then West to Lingpao, the railway
terminus. Here he left the train and went across Shensi
to Sian, then to Pingliang in Kansu and on to Lanchow.
The sights encountered in this part of the journey were
awful in the extreme. A constant stream of emaciated...”

Home for the Holidays.
“Up you get! Heavo!” And in we were sent, through the
window, one by one, onto a pile of luggage off which we slithered
between the legs of a soldier, who was straddling across two seats.
On rising to our feet we found ourselves in a compartment of a second-
class railway carriage, “somewhere” in China. All the seats on one
side of the aisle were piled up to the ceiling with luggage, while the
other was commandeered by soldiers. Finding no better seat, we
climbed to the top of the boxes until a soldier more goodnatured than
the rest, kindly but rather grudgingly gave up to us the pair of seats
over which he was keeping guard. When at length the train moved
off we noticed that the ceiling seemed to be electrified and sundry
rumblings made us guess the roof had reserved seats, which however
we did not desire. We had evidence of this later in seeing fragments
of the alfresco meals, enjoyed by the...”

“...The first is of an amah
With a baby on her back,
The front view and the back view,
Her clothes are like a sack.
The second of a girly
With a little chubby boy,
Who cries for an hour
When it breaks its clumsy toy.
The third is of a soldier
Marching off to war;
His hands and legs a-swinging
And lie's coming past our door!
These five are all a family, •
The woman is the wife,
The soldier is the father
He's managed to save his life!
THE CHINA-PAGE COMPETITION, invit-
5 ing articles and sketches relating to life or travel
in this land, has met with a splendid response.

a page of M. Abbott’s illustrations, following
which come Miscellaneous sketches by B. Sturt,

and an illustrated poem by S. Black of Form 2a....”
