“...the Magazine ; we consider this a good idea, and the present number is therefore largely devoted to American news. Our energetic and painstaking Secretary in America has made the best use of a very limited time in which to collect his contributions. Under “ Items of Interest” will be found a list of Old Boys who have joined the Colours, and every Chefooite will be proud of this list, showing, as it does, the practical outcome of the patriotic spirit which has always been part and parcel of the Schools. Here’s Three Cheers and a “ Tiger ” for our soldier lads ! With regard to the Chapel Fund we must refer our readers to a letter from Mr. Hoste, which will be found under “ Correspondence,” and patiently await further news which may be considerably delayed by present circumstances....”

“...1 Trr—Vg-s g | Miss Shepperd, who has been in connection with the Schools since 1900, first as teacher at the Boys’ School, and then as wardrobe keeper at the Girls’ School, is leaving Chefoo and the work with which she has been associated so long, and we cannot but feel that her passing from so useful a sphere will cause a gap which will be hard to fill. The identity of the “ Chiel,” having unfortunately leaked out, he has bashfully declined to appear in print again, and all our readers will miss the breezy “ News of the Term ” which had become such a feature of our Magazine ; however, another bashful, but gallant, individual in the shape of “ Pepys Junior ” has taken the field, and we hope will soon win a similar esteem. Have YOU got your badge ? PERSONALS. T HESE personals are items of interest about the various Chefooites, which the Secretary has been able to glean, through personal contact, personal correspondence, or through the kindness of others. The small number of Chefooites in...”

“...B.S, JOURNAL. " When found, take a note of.”—Dickens. OREWORD.—No one regrets more than I that the “Chiefs ” notes may not be looked for any more. In trying to step into the breach, I do so with much diffidence, and on the distinct understanding that the readers of the Magazine will deal gently with me, and that no parent or friend will rob me of my anonymity which is really of no value to anyone but myself. May 5th.—Term begun.—On account of the epidemics, which were still the guests of the Schools, a united opening service was out of the question. June 2nd.—An interesting cricket match, “ Chefoo ” v. H.M.S. “ Alacrity.”—For the former, Stooke and Wilson (Old Boys), Malcolm (Master), and Hollander, Clarke, T. McCarthy and Hoste played —seven out of the XI.—not bad for the School, eh ? Chefoo did not cover herself with glory, but that’s another matter, and a somewhat painful one, so I gather. The following was overheard on the field from one naval officer to another : “ Those boys play a...”

“...| Cht rcC ggj of the Schools in after life, McCarthy on his call to missionary work, and Squire on the highest ideal that anyone can have, viz., to do the will of God from the heart. Much prayer preceded and followed this service, so we feel sure that it was accepted of God and will have His blessing. That such a service was possible is something for which we are all grateful. Laus Deo ! * * * * July 29th.—Close of term.—The prize giving, or is it called the closing exercises, or is exhibition the right word (?) was fine. Hartwell was in the chair, and spoke with commendable brevity to the boys on the prime necessity for Punctuality, Politeness, Perseverance, and Truth. Mrs. Hartwell very kindly distributed the prizes. In the absence of Mr. Taylor, the drill was in the hands of Mr. McCarthy (Juniors), and Mr. Harris (Seniors), with splendid results. * * * * August 2nd.—Baptisms.—Duncan Hogg and Terence McCarthy this morning confessed their Lord in baptism. Such a service is ever a solemn...”

“...sje * Miss Coad has taken the place of Miss Jones as Assistant to Miss Angwin. Miss Jones has gone up higher, I mean to the Girls’ School, to fill the vacancy caused by the regretted departure of Miss Shepperd to England. There is, I am sorry to say, very little prospect of Miss Shepperd’s returning to China, and to the work she has so carefully and efficiently done here for so many years. She feels that for private reasons she must remain in the Old Country. There is this about it, that the Schools have another staunch friend in England now. * * * * Howard Stephens is here, and has joined the firm of Cornabe, Eckford & Co., taking the place of Wallace Squire who is leaving very shortly. S}S }jC s}s tfc The following boys (and, as the poet said : “ we are seven ”) are passing out this term, although the movements of some of them have been much interfered with by the war in Europe, which makes the Siberian Route impossible, and the Suez Route undesirable at the present time. But if it is...”

“...Neptune third, thus concluding a really exciting race. In this connection I want to mention that the Hector is a presenta-tion this year to the School by an Old Boy—Jim Watts, he having sent the necessary funds for this particular object. It is only fair to mention that in the canoe races to be, the following paddlers were to have competed : Ford, Mills, Hogg and Murray—all might-have-beens. Foundation Day proper was celebrated on the 16th of June, and I wonder how many “ Past Scholars ” of the Schools were imagining to themselves the various events, and entering into them in spirit on the 15th ! The weather conditions of that day fully compensated for the unfavourable conditions of the previous day; never have I known it to be better. As usual, the cricket match between the “ Masters and Friends ” and the “ Boys ” was the first event, and commenced about 8.30 a.m. The match produced exhibitions of batting but no definite result, the “ Boys ” scoring eighty-two for three wickets, and the “...”

“...Mr. Taylor based his address on the words of David : “ That thou mayest add thereto” (1 Chr. xxii. 14), and called the attention of the listeners to the record that David had prepared abundantly for the Temple, both in material and in workers. He said this did not mean that there was nothing for Solomon to do, but that he was to make use of the abundance of the past for his present work, and do his share in adding to it. To-day we remember all the great things God has done in the past for the Schools, but we are to remember that God is greater than His past, and prepared to do more in the future than ever before. He has a plan not only for the world but for us, and we may add to all the past of God’s work and blessing by filling our place in that plan. We exist to extend. Mr. Taylor also spoke on Prayer (Matt. vi. 6). Prayer tends to make our work both practical and permanent. Men of prayer, are not visionaries, as is often supposed, but the men who accomplish most. They are the men who see...”

“...various schools were mustered on the Boys’ tennis court for tea, and this new feature in no way obstructed their appetites, for such goods as passed that way never passed that way again. Due appreciation of the good things provided having been shown, the company transplanted itself to the tennis court in front of the Boys’ School, where some interesting tennis was witnessed. The first game was between Mona Pilcher and Fulton and Marget Rinell and Westwood, and resulted (in a game of thirty points) in a win of ten points by the latter couple. The next match, Fanny Wight and Clarke v. Elsa Logan and T. McCarthy, resulted in the former winning by six points. The third game was played between Eleanor Goold and Hollander and Grace Taylor and Hoste, in which the former team reached thirty points against their opponents’ twenty-six. Then a game of twenty points was played, Marget Rinell and Elsa Logan v. Fanny Wight and Mona Pilcher, and the victory was secured by the former by the scanty margin...”

“...like ‘ exchanges ’ for instance are all done for us on a card. I can do fifty in the time it took me to get one right your way at school; and as for the train going at 60 miles that passed the one at 40—find how fast a man on the line was walking, well, it just doesn’t come in.” “ At least,” I hazarded, “ you learnt to write a good hand ” ; this was never my subject, and I felt I was about to bring another praise. “ Mere waste of time,” he muttered, “we use a typewriter. No, the stuff taught at schools, and even at our good old place, is just useless for a fellow.” “John,” I cried, “you are a rotter, an arrant rotter. Isn’t it something to have learnt how to learn, let alone what you learnt ? And as for things ‘ useful,’ by which you mean subjects with dollars in them, personally I thank Heaven that there come those few impressionable years, one chance in a lifetime, for each of us, when we can be learning something that isn’t ‘useful.’ No, John, the dollar ideal is not going to take charge...”

“...Hermon because the school was founded by Dwight L. Moody ; because the Student Volunteer Movement, which has grown to world-wide proportions, was founded here ; because we are one of the biggest schools in the country, and because we have had more Chefooites enrolled than any other collegiate preparatory school in the country. We enrol about six hundred and thirty boys every year, and about four hundred in the summer school. There were eight Chefooites in attendance during the year : Edward and Ben Adams, John, William, and Richard Baird, Newton Miller, Wilbur Swallen, and Norman Sibley. Hermon is first and foremost a school for fellows who mean business. Special opportunities are offered in the departments of Agriculture, Classics, Mathematics, and Science. The work leads to colleges and technical schools of every kind. The studies are so arranged that a man can drop out of school any term and come back any term he wants to. Studies are supplemented by the various societies for the development...”

“...reception was held in the garden of the C.I.M. House, where little tables were arranged as prettily and daintily as possible. After the usual greetings and congratulations, the inevitable photographers put in an appearance. After the bridegroom had been relieved of the confetti with which he had been well sprinkled at the church door, he and his bride had their photographs taken ; then the whole assembly were victimized. Later on there was yet another photo taken of those who had been in the Chefoo schools either as scholars or teachers. Those present were as follows : The Bride. The Bridesmaid. Rev. and Mrs. Lea. Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Cameron. Miss Pearse. Rachel Wilson. Amy Wilson. Isa Gracie. Mary Broomhall. Margaret Cameron. Dr. Bob Parry. Jack Tomkinson. After tea and the cutting of the cake, Mr. Lea gave out the hymn, “ Oh love, that will not let me go,” and in a short speech assured the bride and bridegroom that our prayers and best wishes were theirs. At 5 o’clock the happy couple left for...”
