“...the success of the undertaking, and we venture to take this opportunity of thanking all our friends for their kind appreciation, at the same time reminding them that the future success of the Magazine depends almost entirely on their own exertions in supplying the necessary material for its columns.
Perhaps it might be urged that more could have been done during the past year than has been accomplished ; but few realise the many difficulties which have arisen to prevent the officers of the Association from doing as much as they would wish, and their excuse is best expressed in the following words by Lowell :—
'' Greatly begin ! though thou have time But for a line, be that sublime,— Not failure, but low aim, is crime.”
A FOREWORD.
HE CHEFOO MAGAZINE” has already, to my thinking; justified its existence and proved itself a real means of grace.
Its very name unlocks the storehouse of memory and lets loose a flood of reminiscences that sweeten
and strengthen the more prosaic days of business...”

“...arrived by the three o’clock train, and assembled in the drawing-room, where tea was handed round.
Then we went into the dining-room and by such delightfully exciting games as “ progressive ping-pong,” and not-too-quiet “ Jenkins says * Hands up,’ ” we let off our animal spirits before rising to such intellectual heights as “clumps ” and other games of the kind.
At supper, the chief topic of conversation was the Chefoo Schools Association, in which, as a somewhat numerous Glasgow Branch, we were greatly interested.
We were all exceedingly glad that such an association had been started. We wished it all success, and hoped that through it the bond of sympathy which has always existed between the old Girls and Boys, and the Chefoo Schools, to which we all feel we owe so much, might be strengthened.
Then we parted, after having spent a pleasant afternoon, due to Mr. and Mrs. Graham Brown’s kindness; and one more link was added to the chain of pleasant memories which will ever bind us to Chefoo...”

“...Miss Ethel Fishe, and Jack Tomkinson. They are returning to China by the Trans-Siberian Railway. Mr. and Mrs. Willett are both old friends of Chefoo. Many of our readers will remember Mr. Willett in connection with the Business Department (or “ B. D.” as we used to call it !) in Chefoo, and Mrs. Willett taught music for a time in the Boys’ School. They are not returning to Chefoo, but to Shanghai, where Mr. Willett is going to carry on business work in connection with the Missionary Service Association. Jack Tomkinson is going back to assist Mr. Willett. Miss Ethel Fishe is returning, after a much needed rest and furlough, to teach in the Girls’ School.

* * * *
We are requested to mention that the Pagoda Branches of the C.I.M. in Glasgow are holding their annual public meeting in the Christian Institute on Friday, February 12th, at 7.30 p.m. All “ Chefooites ” are cordially invited with their friends.
HONORARY MEMBERS.
We have heard of many instances lately of friends, in some way connected with Chef00, who express regret that they cannot become members of our Association. When the Association was formed, the rule was made that members must have passed through one of the schools as scholars, because it was considered that it was to such persons that the C.S.A. would be of most interest. We regret having hindered our friends from becoming ordinary members, and at the same time we hope we have not hurt anybody’s feelings by thus leaving them out in the cold, because, of course, that was not in the least our intention. Our one desire is to remember the welfare of our old...”
