THE CHEFOO SCHOOLS' ASSOCIATION.
WHY AND HOW FORMED.
A
FROM AN OLD BOY’S POINT OF VIEW.
BOY cannot .write letters ; at least, nine out of ten cannot,
and I’m one of the nine. I almost believe I’m. the
ninth. Thus, though I tried for nearly two. years to
correspond with Chcfoo and some of my contemporaries.,
’twas unavailing, and finally, I lapsed into silence.
True, I had not been home long when I received a visit, at the
city office where I then was, from W. D. Mudditt. A walk with
him in Queen Victoria Street could not but bring to mind the
contrast of previous walks on the “Highway,” the “ Top bank,”
the “ Gulleys ” and other haunts of a Chefoo boy—all of fadeless
memory.
I had accompanied G. H. Fishe on a twenty mile cycle ride,
and had called, in company with him, on O. and R. Williams,
at a Strand hotel, on their return to England.
Twice I met P. J. Riley unexpectedly; once in the city when
on business at the firm where I found he was, and again on a Sunday

Chefooite, by the receipt of an invitation to the reunion of old
girls and boys in January last, at the C. I. M., Newington Green
by the kind invitation of Miss Williamson and Mr. Marcus Wood.’
Such a reunion was not to pass without some effort to make
similar gatherings more frequent. Could not an annual reunion
be arranged ? Could not some club be formed ? These and many
others were the questions asked eagerly one of another, but unfor-
tunately, nothing could be settled during the evening. ’
However, a fortnight later several of the old boys met at the
invitation of E. S. Elliston, to consider ways and means for the
formation of an Association.
Those interested in Chefoo history will therefore note that the
birth of the Chefoo Schools’ Association took place at 91, New
Oxford Street, London, on Wednesday, January 29th, 1908.
The next step was of course, to invite the co-operation of the
old girls, and the first joint Committee Meeting was held by the
kindness of...”

THE CHEFOO MAGAZINE.
The following letter has just been received from the lucky
recipient of the watch for 1908 :—
C.I.M. Schools,
Chefoo, N. China.
July 30/A, 1908.
My dear Miss Randle,
As the winner of the conduct prize this year, I wish to thank the
givers of it through you. I have always wanted a watch, and it is especially
nice to have one with the shield on the back, to help me to remember Chefoo
when I am gone.
The voting was different this year from what it has been before. The
Third, Fourthand Fifth Forms had two votes apiece, the Upper and Lower
Second one, and the teachers three.
I am in the Fourth Form, and have been at school almost two years.
Again thanking yon,
I remain,
■ , Yours very sincerely,
MARY LOUISE HAMILTON.
THE CHEFOO SCHOOLS' ASSOCIATION.
In connection with the China Inland Mission Schools,
Chefoo, North China.
RULES.
1. That this Association be called the Chefoo Schools’ Associa-
tion, and that the object be to sustain interest amongst old scholars
