“...to Mr. and Mrs. Helmer of the C.I.M. who have made it possible for us to reunite from time to time at the Mission Home. An account of a recent gathering is given elsewhere in this magazine.
We are also grateful to Mrs. McMillan, who has welcomed us to her new home. Mrs. McMillan, formerly Miss Robson of the C.I.M., has always been a warm friend of the Chefoo Schools. We have pleasant recollections of a very happy party held at her comfortable home in early spring.
Mr. and Mrs. Naftel, at whose house the first reunion was held, have bought up a large ranch in the suburbs of the city. We all live in expectation of a grand reunion to be celebrated there in the Fall, that will even surpass the fete-champetre on ye anciente Bedford Estates in Merrie England !
Mrs. Naftel, better known to old Chefooites as Kathie Fishe, is the proud mother of two of the sweetest little girls that ever blossomed in a nursery. Her brother Hamilton left us some months ago to fill a good position at the famous Battle...”

“...part of it is of particular interest, as being the original collection of acoustical apparatus constructed by the great German physicist Rudolph Konig and exhibited by him at the World’s Fair, where it was bought by the Governors of the University of Toronto.
Much might be said of every department, and of the professors, but space is limited, and they must be passed over. If I could say a word that would convey to Chefoo boys and girls who are looking about for opportunity after leaving the Schools, an adequate idea of what this University offers, I should be very glad. This I know, that all are welcome, and here in this democratic University will be found a field for men and women of every inclination where thorough training may be got under conditions which it only takes a short experience to appreciate.

Nov. 12th. A day of jubilation followed by one of holiday. The Oxford results are to hand and are most satisfactory. From the two Schools, 53 presented themselves for examination and all passed. That is gratifying enough but, in addition, 11 boys and 7 girls obtained honours, and 9 distinctions were awarded in various subjects. The palm goes to the Girls’ School, Grace Taylor having passed in the Senior Division with First Class Honours. Congratulations from us all, Grace, for a fine piece of work reflecting great credit on yourself and your teachers.

March 1st. Mr. M. Beart, the local representative of Messrs-Butterfield & Swire, and a near neighbour of the Schools, lectured on “ Playing the Game.” More lectures were to have followed, but the annual quarantine upset the programme.

March 8th. Quarantine. Mild scarlatina this time, so mild that one patient failed to register a temperature of over 99°, rnd yet all the numerous precautions attendant on isolation had to be taken in each instance.

March 29th. Ruling Preparatory School burnt down. Much sympathy felt and expressed for Chefoo’s old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay, who were in charge. Happily no life was lost, but the incident was bound to bring to the minds of all the constant and awful danger from fire in the schools.

April 10th. Final Cake Match played amidst the usual enthusiasm. The captains of the opposing sixes were Clarke and Bobby ; the former won by one goal scored in the last...”
