EDITORIAL.
:>;%1TTH the close of another term it is once more the
WV Editor’s duty to pen the inevitable Editorial.
The term, which has been an unusually long one,
has also been eventful, and of these varied activities, some
account will be found in later pages.
With the summer holidays came also the C.S.S.M.
services, and once more, inspiring messages and choruses
were enjoyed: new hopes were kindled...”

“...their service at home, the Juniors -went to the G.S. and
the senior schools to the Prayer-room. With the coming
of November, the repairing of the Memorial Hall was com-
pleted, arid services were resumed there.
On Oct. 22nd the B.S. flag was hoisted to welcome
Stephen Moseley Houghton to Chefoo.
The G.S. is very sorry to say “Goodbye” to Miss
Pice, who is taking her furlough, but glad to welcome
Miss Pyle just back, who will take her place, and also
Miss Phare who at the time of going to print, is on her
way back to China.
In conclusion we should like to thank all those who
have, kindly contributed to this magazine.
RENOVATIONS AT THE GIRLS’ SCHOOL.
ijtHE was a phantom of—” Bang!! Clang! “Oh that
noise again! Please shut the window. Yes, that’s

“...confidence to a successful
continuation of the season.
“D’YE KEN?”
D'ye ken the Guides by the China sea,
The Guides of the first Chefoo company ?
D’ye ken there’s none so merry as we—
The Guides in the school at Chefoo ?
D’ye ken we work for our second class ?
But some don’t get through very quickly, Alas!
But before very long we all mean to pass,
Of the Guides in the school at Chefoo.
D'ye ken that we have such jolly good fun,
If you are not a Guide and can be one,
You certainly ought to share in the fun
By joining the Guides at Chefoo ?
D’ye ken in uniform we look so neat,
From the top of our head right down to our feet ?
No Guides anywhere in the world can beat
The Guides in the school at Chefoo,
D’ye ken that we have Camp-fire in a ring
And we sit on the ground and sing, sing, sing?
D’ye ken that there never has been anything
To compare with Girl-Guides at Chefoo’?

“...once again for the
jolly and profitable times we have had.
Much promising material has been sent in for the
magazine and had space allowed, some budding poets and
essayists would have appeared in print. We hope to see
more from H. Briscoe, D. Tull, B. Draffin, M. Earle and
G. Briscoe.
We should like to call attention of all friends of
CHEFOO, to an admirable book of that name, just pub-
lished, by the China Inland Mission, on the occasion of
the Schools’ Jubilee. It is most attractively produced, the
dark-blue cover adorned with a charming water-colour,
framed in gold, the subject, the Bluff in sunset hues.
Within the covers, you will find “All about Chefoo’’ the
Past, the Present, and the Future, and you will not lav
the book down until you come to the last word.
In glassine wrapper. 2s. net. to be obtained at the
Business Dept, of the China Inland Mission, 1531 Sinza
Bd. Shanghai....”
