“...are described else'
where in this paper.
Changes of Staff have not been few. Miss Wilson is
not with us, and Chefoo without her is bereft indeed. Her
hundreds of friends among Old Chefusians will join with the
friends she has left behind in Chefoo in all good wishes to
her. Miss Isabel Taylor is teaching music in the B.S., as well
as some form subjects : Miss Twidale is teaching musical theory
in both schools. Miss Willoughby unfortunately has been pre'
vented by ilLhealth from enjoying this term with us, and has
been in hospital, and afterwards convalescent at Wei hai.
However the Schools have been fortunate in the help of Mrs.
Hutton who has been here with Mr. Hutton on literary work,
producing tfe first printed New Testament for the Black Miao
of Kweichow.
The Girls’ School, coming into line with the Boys’
School, has started Houses, as described in an article elsewhere.
Slessor and Judson Houses have chosen as colours green and
blue, which Carey and Livingstone already bear, but Car'...”

ness of God in His continual provision of the men or the
money needed for the work that has lasted so long and touched
so many lives. Dr. Donald Irwin speaking next dwelt on the
purpose of the Schools and spoke with appreciation (both as
an Old Boy and as one of the American community in this
port) of what had been attained in the past. The combination
of these two speakers together was a very happy feature of
the service. We then sang the metrical version of Psalm 23
to the tune inseparable from it in Chefoo, and while we still
stood, the Rev. A. F. Lutley led us in the Prayer of Dedication.
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, Eternal Friend
of chilldren, whose blessed Son hath said, 'Suffer the
children to come unto me’; we dedicate these new build''
ings to Thee and to Thy service. We praise Thee for all
whose gifts and toil have made these new buildings possible.
Prosper, we pray Thee, with Thy blessing all who teach or
learn in this place. Open up to all who study here the
treasures...”

“...After setting my watch with some
precision, I set forth in the slush, under a torrent of rain.
Under the friendly shelter of “Jachin and Boaz” I arriv-
ed, a trifle disconcerted: for my trousers now bespattered did
not tally with my immaculate tie and a mistake on such an
occasion must not be.
In the Common Room, where youngsters fought for the
first drink from the fountain, confusion reigned. In another
two minutes I would push the first “buzzer” ever pushed in
the amalgamated career of the two Schools: I consulted my
watch : the seconds lagged : around me still confusion roared :
again I consulted my watch, for on such an occasion as this
all “buzzers” must be pushed on time. The exact moment
came. With great deliberation I pushed that deceptive knob.
It jammed; frantically I pulled and tugged, feverishly I dug
in my finger nails; on buzzed the “buzzer”. I tugged; the
■“buzzer” buzzed; I scratched, but still the “buzzer” took no
heed. In desperation I opened my penknife and wrenched out

“...explained some of
these idioms in the second part of the performance and played
two pieces of his own composition. Several jolly selections
from the modern American music of Macdowell, and two fiom
Liszt ended a brilliant performance.
We are glad that Mr. Scott found the audience apprecia-
tive and easy to play to: at the end he expressed a hope,
which we would echo, that a future occasion will renew the
pleasure given by his first visit to Chefoo.

pieces by the thorns), and so sailing north-east we came to
Naples. So we supposed this isle to be that of which Master
William Shakespeare has lately written in that merry stage-

ness, backchat, arguing with the referee, ungentlemanliness,
savagery, uncivilised deportment, uncouth behaviour, lack of
polish, unmannerliness, undue self-assertion, unparliamentary
diction and cheek.”
Is that clear?
Will you read what you said again? “Has ability,
which he applies mainly to Tootsie Toys” You can’t put that
on a report. But it’s the truth. That’s got nothing to do
with it. You must remember his difficult background—six
different schools in two terms. Well, shall we say “Will make
a useful prefect in four years’ time”? Don’t you think we
can get on somewhat faster?
Would you say “Very Fair”? He’s got 20%. He’s
got 80 in my subjects. I don’t believe in percents, you know;
1 think the boy is rather a dark horse. Then you can’t put
him down as “Fair”.
Will you read what you said again? “Cocksure and
inattentive with fair results.” Don’t you think we could get
on somewhat faster if we left the rest and had some lunch
now? J. S. N...”
