“...although the C.S.A. has been in existence some three years, yet we, as an Association, have done nothing to benefit our old School. The Old Girls have for years subscribed towards the Good Conduct Prize in the Girls’ School, but the Old Boys have done nothing. Now, we think one of the principal objects of the C.S.A. should be the encouragement of the future Old Boys and Girls who are the scholars of to-day. In addition to this, we ought to do what we can to help the Schools as an institution. Those with a genuine interest in the Schools, which goes deeper than mere words, will not allow this state of things to last much longer. By paying their subscriptions regularly and promptly, members will help towards this end, and the Committee hope that they will soon have sufficient funds in hand to set aside a sum, not necessarily a large amount, which would add two or three good prizes to the list and show our continued interest and desire for the welfare of the School. Now, dear reader, a word in your...”

“...find it pays to guide Redlandites by the methods of Chefoo. When comparing, as I often do, the two schools I know best, the advantage I find is often with the latter, and particularly, I think, in the sensible and non-sentimental relations that existed and, I hope, still exist between girl and girl and between mistress and pupil. Most normal school children pass through a period—brief in some cases, in others astonishingly enduring—of enthusiastic admiration for someone older than themselves, often a favourite master or mistress. This admiration sometimes takes an unpleasantly mawkish form. In one boarding-school of my acquaintance it is called for obvious reasons “ early-dooring ” : at the Redland High School we call it “ having a G.P.,” i.e. a grande passion—and very comic are some of its manifestations. From what I can gather, this sort of adoration is rather common in English Girls’ Schools, and the educational journals constantly discuss its merits and disadvantages. But looking back...”

“...State of Ohio, which entitles him to an Advance course at Oxford University. Hayes himself writes that he hopes to arrive in England this Fall. Another move in the Fall will be the departure of Sam Mills for China, where he expects to teach in the Union College at Wei-Hsien. I had the pleasure of a brief visit from J. B. Grant, of Acadia University, last August, on his return from the West, where he had been busy in various ways throughout the summer. Paul Goforth has been doing credit to the Schools at Toronto University. His successes include a £10 scholarship in Modern Languages, and £5 for a Prize Essay. Geo. Miller is now at Manitoba College, Winnipeg, presumably taking an agricultural course. He reports having called on Willie Bagnall on his arrival in Winnipeg ; mentions that the latter has recently been married, and that he is hoping soon to call on them in their new home....”

“...names and addresses brought up to date and corrected as far as possible with the information we have at hand. If each member made it his or her duty to keep the Secretary posted with the right address, then half the trouble and worry connected with this list would vanish, and it would be of far more value to all, since its accuracy would be established. Our frontispiece will recall to many the winter holiday, especially to those who through force of circumstance were obliged to remain at the Schools instead of returning to their own homes. We remember one occasion when out on the road behind the Girls’ School, with our sledge harnessed to a pair of donkeys we met an exceptionally fat mandarin, or some such official, mounted on a mule, which took fright at our strange conveyance, and bolted across a field, much to his discomfort and our delight. The Cambridge letter we publish in this issue will be found very interesting, and should afford a good suggestion to many of those who would like...”
