“...124 Co-Tuition has enabled the pupils to benefit by a more . varied range of teachers and has brought to us (the pupils) many advantages impossible in the old schools. It has brought about a keener competition between the boys and the girls in work, resulting in a general improvement of scholastic attainment. Viewing the benefits in another light, I feel sure that there has been an improvement not only in work but also a mutual improvement in the manners and personal appearance of the students and for whatever reasons these changes have taken place, they are a decided advantage. We, the students, consider the co-operation, work and general good will of Co-Tuition much improved, but why stop there? Surely, if Co-Tuition has benefited the scholastic attainments, Co-Education would be equally beneficial. Why should not a more common interest in Athletics prevail, to the benefit of everyone concerned? Why should not there be days for mixed tennis and days for mixed hockey? But above all else...”

“...125 SCHOOL CHRONICLE. LTHOUGH it has been by no means uninteresting, this - term has been comparatively uneventful. The schools have enjoyed good health and work was uninterrupted. The Oxford results, which are recorded in this magazine, were better than had been expected, and on the whole the Autumn Term has been one of success. When the Spring Term opens Miss Kendon and Miss Dobson will be leaving for furlough, Miss Scarlett will be here to take Miss Dobson’s place and Mr. and Mrs. Martin and family will be with us again. As further additions to the Staff of the Schools, Miss Fearn has recently arrived at the Prep. School and Mrs. Bazire has been teaching Music to many of the girls and boys in Co-Ed. Mr. and Mrs. Roberston will shortly be leaving Chefoo and Mr. and Mrs. Preedy will soon be going on furlough. After a year of most acceptable service, Mr. Aldis is returning to his work in Szechwan. Miss Twidale and Miss Rough are expected back during the coming term. The House System is...”

“...point. On the second Saturday they held the Settlement scoreless and helped themselves to half a score of goals. The Oxford results this year were up to the standard of former years. None were prevented from sitting through fear of failure; of those who sat, only four failed and there were a good many who received Honours’ standing both from among the boys and girls in the Junior and in the School Certificate divisions. The Bible still holds a central place in the curriculum and life of the schools. Scripture classes are regularly held. God is worshipped and His Word read and proclaimed in the regular Sunday morning and evening services and daily in morn- ing and evening Prayers. All, from the youngest to the oldest, are encouraged in personal devotions both morning and evening. The boys attend in large numbers the voluntary meeting which they themselves hold each Wednesday night. A goodly number of boys and girls who have made a profes- sion of their faith in Christ attend the bi-weekly...”

“...sun flowers raise their heads, for many a small brigand lurks in the leafy shade to pounce upon innocent passers-by. There is a forbidden land where a mountain of red bricks entice intrepid outlaws where, sheltering in the hollows, the young treasure seekers may evade the vigilant eye of the powers that be. Come and explore the little east playground with its nooks and crannies, steps, and unexpected corners. It is just the place for hide-and-seek, doll’s tea-parties with real mud pies, shops, schools and orchestras. It you are very fortunate, you may meet a wedding procession suitably attired in trailing gowns selected from the “dressing-up locker’’. We’ll lend you a pair of grey, patched “sliding pants’’ and you may take your turn on the slide—head foremost if you are very brave. Let us go to the sunny quadrangle where you may let off steam. Would you like one roller skate (two are rather dangerous), a scooter or a tricycle? See how loudly you can shout! The white lines are imaginary walls...”

“...showed the interest of his audience. Rev. E. W. Andrews, an “Old Boy”, lectured on “Schools and Colleges in the U.S.A.” on Monday, Oct. 21st. After explaining the difference and similarities between American and Brit;sh schools and colleges, he proceeded to tell us about the various branches of scholastic life. In many colleges, athletics are compulsory for any who expect to graduate, and a wide range of choice is offered to suit all tastes. In preparatory schools every pupil is expected and encouraged to take part in the seasonable games. From this subject the lecturer passed on to the methods by which a young man may work his way through college. Among those within Mr. Andrews’ own experience are— tutoring, ushering at football games and concerts, acting as counsellor in a boys’ camp and working in a grocery store. The next phase was the many clubs and societies of all types which are found in American schools and colleges. 'I hese include instrumental and glee clubs, art and camera clubs...”

“...girls in the 11 nd Form sang twice and the boys once, both groups with evident enjoyment. The “Ballad of London River” was sung with abandon by the boys and it was a pleasant change to hear the parts in the last verse after the unison of the first three verses. Probably the finest vocal item presented by the schools was “Ring out, Wild Bells”, a New Year Caroi in four parts. All took part except the 2nd Formers, the main accompaniment being played by Mr. Houghton on the organ and a delightful bell-effect produced by Mrs. Bazire on the piano. The words are taken from Tennyson’s “In Memoriam” and the music is by Percy Fletcher. But it was with the greatest vigour that the combined schools and the band rendered “I have lost the Doh of my clarinet”, a song which has gained popularity in the school for its great amount of rhythm and its small amount of sense. During the course of the evening the band played several times, and, although we cannot say that it furnished the most finished items on...”
