SCHOOL CHRONICLE
'ijjT seems indeed a far call from the cold, bleak January
day when the Schools, raw-faced and red-nosed,
streamed into the Memorial Hall for the Opening Service
to the steaming July day when again they entered the Hall
and sat in dripping rows on the Exhibition platform; but
in that space- of time many events have taken place.
Soon after the term had begun and Scarlet Fever
had been got rid of, another foe in the form of ‘flu attacked
the schools. Numbers fell...”

THE LORD MAYOR’S SHOW
By an Old Boy
It is not without considerable diffidence that I venture
to intrude upon these pages which have neither seen my name
or my character for some time. Yet I have something to tell
which is perhaps a unique experience for a past member of
the Chefoo Schools, since I marched as a Scout in the Lord
Mayor’s Show last year.
The Lord Mayor’s Show and Procession, which takes
place on the day of the investiture of the new Lord Mayor
of the City of London, presents a varied spectacle year by

appear in the procession: at others, when the Lord Mayor has
an interest m the country and open-air life, a panoramic view
of farm-life is presented; droves of sheep, cattle, dairy-maids
and chickens pass by in grand review. The subject of the
last procession was tne development of the defence forces of
the City of London. Contingents of troops, clad in the un-
iform of the period which they represented, marched in...”

“...which the pre-
dominant note was that of thanksgiving, Dr. F. H. Judd, who
officiated, addressed the gathering. As one of the original members
of the School as it was in 1881, he described the beginnings of the
School’s history. Dr. Judd recalled the fact that the founder of the
China Inland Mission, Dr. Hudson Taylor, regained health and strength
so rapidly when he visited Chefoo after a serious illness, that he
decided, under God’s guidance, to establish a school here for the sons
and daughters of missionaries and other Europeans. Dr. Judd spoke
of the many benefits he himself had received as a boy in the Schools
from a sound Christian education in such a salubrious climate.
In the second part of his address the speaker urged the necessity
not only of having Jesus Christ as the foundation-stone of Life, but
also of building on that foundation a superstructure which would be
worthy of the School and of such a Master. To impress this thought
the more on the boys and girls, he quoted Lo...”

“...entertainment. But the players are to be
congratulated for keeping their heads—there was no wild hitting and
the general standard of play was good, if not brilliant.
The usual ceremony of the presentation of cups was performed
after the first match. Mrs. Preedy, who has recently returned from
England, kindly presented the awards, announced by Mr. R. F. Harris.
First came the winning crews, boys and girls. These were followed
by representatives of the two Houses that gained the cup which the
Chefoo Schools Association are awarding this year and in future in...”
