“...building.
In both schools central-heating has been installed for
the central blocks. This includes the School-Room and
side-class rooms on the ground-floor and the large bedrooms
on the first floor at the B.S. To conserve the warmth, the
South verandah, on the Quad., has been enclosed with glass-
windows and numerous doors. We understand that the
foundation-stone of the new buildings is to be laid in March.
This preamble would be woefully lacking, if it did
not contain a further reference to' the perambulators on the
Compound. Pocket editions of members of the Staff may
be seen travelling in these vehicles at many times of the
day. Lying, sitting or standing, these bonny babies attract
the attention of all and sundry. Our very hearty congratula-
tions to Mr. and Mrs. Welch on the birth on October. 15th of
Theodore Phillipps. We hear that the cult of Baby-Worship
in the G.S. and the P.S. is gaining many fresh adherents.
One more comment—the Public Debate, run by the
two schools, seems to have...”

(Extract from the C. 8. 8. M. Magazine)
THE C. S. S. M. IN CHINA.
By this time the Chefoc C.S.S.M. is an established
institution.
Many of the boys and girls are members of the Scrip-
ture Union, while the staff at the schools is composed largely
of former C.S.S.M. workers in the homeland. One such,
Mr. Gordon P. Welch, writes about this year’s Services: —
“Last week-end we had a C.S.S.M. Campaign here
and it proved a time of real blessing to all. It was a short,
concentrated effort, but the children here are usually ready
for a series of meetings of this kind. They were gathering
in prayer groups for weeks before the meetings. God’s pre-
sence was very especially felt at the Monday meeting, when
the needs of the Moslem world were brought before us. It
was a great joy having Mr. Haymond Joyce with us just
for the week-end. He is on his way up to the province of
Sinkiang (Turkestan). Strangely enough, he was present
at the first summer C.S.S..M. held in Chefoo. He made
many contacts with...”

H.M.S. Medway.
Last September, the Upper Schools were very for-
tunate in receiving an invitation from the Captain of H.M.S.
Medway, the largest submarine tender in the Asiatic fleet,
to spend the afternoon on board. By 3.45 p.m. we were
nearing the ship in her pinnaces, and, on arrival, we were
ushered into the Officers’ Mess. Before starting out on our
tour of inspection in groups of eight, we were treated to a
delightful tea.
One of the parties was fortunate to be guided by the
Senior Petty Officer. The first item was to get down into
the heart of several engine-rooms of various descriptions.
Unfortunately half an hour’s detailed description was drown-
ed by the throb of machinery. We were then escorted to
various kitchens, bakeries, pantries and cookhouses; there
with that hungry look to admire the last efforts of the cook
on duty. Having seen how humans were filled, we turned
our attentions once again to our engine friends. The escort
informed us that it cost more to feed a two-inch...”

(The news of Old Boys and Old Girls, which has ap-
peared under this heading for the past few issues has been
taken direct from the Chefoo Schools Association News letter.
We are afraid no direct acknowledgment of this fact has
been made in previous issues. For this omission we now
make public apology. This section of the magazine is of
great interest to us all)
The following notes are taken direct from the latest
issue of the News-letter, Dec. 1932.
Jim Broomhall is in his fourth year of Medicine at the London
Hospital.
Kitty Broomhall is “house-keeping” at home.
Jecca and Josie Broomhall are attending school in Dulwich, where
Dr. Broomhall has his general practice.
Miss E. M. Broomhall just arrived home on furlough from Chefoo at
the beginning of September. (We hope that the “removing of her
tonsils” proved successful, and that she is now enjoying her stay at
home.)
Peggy Brown has started her general...”

“...Medicine, and completing his
Arts Course at the same time.
Bernard Walker passed the University Pre-Registration Exam, in
September, and is now doing first year Medicine.
Robert Walker returned to Edinburgh with his brother, and spent a
month coaching him and Arthur Smith in Chemistry for the Pre-
Registration Exam. He is doing very well in first year Medicine.
Laurie Wedderburn is doing second year Forestry at Edinburgh
University.
Gren Wedderburn was fortunate enough to be included in a Public
Schools’ Cruise to the Baltic this summer. He has hopes of being in
Watsons’ first XV.
Wilfred Olesen went with Arthur Smith and the Walkers on a very
short camping tour to Loch Lomond at the beginning of October.
It was undertaken as an experiment to see how' they would fare
if they camped on their way to the next Chefoo House-Party! It
was a great success.
Gordon Anderson graduated from Aberdeen University as a doctor, in
March. Since then he spent six months as assistant in Aberdeen
Royal Hospital...”
