“...Fives 1 Or the Field, where from school we so gladly resorted To kick at the leather, or practise our drives 1 Or the hills where we climbed—hills not covered with verdure, Yet dear in their bareness, their comforting brown. Green fields where we scouted, blue waves that we parted, The desks where we pored ’neath the pedagogue’s frown 1 Again the dear friendships of youth crowd around me. Faces of comrades I loved years ago : 1’11 miss them there, Chefoo, when next I’ll invade thee. And yet—there’ll be those few, whom always I’ll know. Ah. Chefoo 1 unfaded thy memories linger. As we step from thy portals to futures unknown ; And thy spirit will guide us. our dear Alma Mater. To set virtue, and honour, above fame and renown. W. Ririe,...”

“...—IFlo. 3. October. 1915. THE BADGE. lEbitotfal. SUGGESTION has been made that the Old Girls who are devoting their whole time to their country’s service should have their names entered on the Roll of Honour. If this appeals to our members, the names, and present occupations of such, should be sent to the Secretary, Arnold B. Randle, 6, Birkbeck Road, Acton, W. We regret to record that George Rendall, who has successfully carried out the arduous duties of Secretary to the China branch of the Association for so long, feels it necessary to resign the post, owing to pressure of work and other duties. Our sincere thanks are due to him for services rendered in the past. Percy Hollander, the new Secretary, is full of enthusiasm, and we trust that he will meet with support and encouragement from all connected with this Branch. His address will be : International Cotton Manufacturing Co., Ltd., 4, Kiukiang Road, Shanghai. May we again ask those of our members whose subscriptions are overdue to remit...”

“...PRIZE DAYS IN CHEFOO. RIZE DAY is certainly, to my thinking, a Parent’s Day. To teachers and children the end of term brings much repetition and endless practice. Recitations are heard again and again, and from various standpoints. Voices are tried in the “ Quad ” to see whether they can be heard by the unrehearsed visitor. Songs are sung till the School is tuneful, and all in the building know them by heart. Drill comes twice a day (with private practices of special parts at odd corners), and dumb-bells, poles and clubs are waved about in endless patterns to the sparkling notes of the “ Grenadiers ” or “ Soldiers of the King,” and much marching follows. Drawings, specimens of writing, clay-modelling and paperfolding are chosen for exhibition. Needlework is judged and put aside for the same purpose. Clean dresses and blue sashes, red bows and best shoes, are sorted out by patient wardrobe-keepers for nearly three hundred children. All is known by heart (mistakes included), and teachers...”

“...sorry,” and would 1 mind passing him the alarm clock to reset it. 11.10 p.m.—I cool down a bit and get into bed. T. R. Evans. A CHEFOO PICNIC. E were just enough to make a football team as we gathered on the steps of the C.I.M. Home at Newington Green. It was a fine spring morning one Friday after Easter, and we were bubbling over with high spirits as one and another came along. Neither football nor cricket was our objective, but a picnic to Epping Forest and its trees, with their beauty of newborn green—instead of the Second Beach and cat’s-eyes 1 We were a merry party, eight being of the sex which expects to be obeyed and three of those who do the other part. After finding that the motor ’bus for Epping Forest only ran on Sundays, we decided to take tram to the Chingford Mount side. What the tram conductor and other passengers thought as we chattered of Chefoo, with occasional words of Chinese thrown in, it is hard to say. Owing to the overwhelming majority of those who must be obeyed...”

“...woollen gloves was made up into a good ball, and “ rounders ” was the call. The toss-up was in real Chefoo style, and we had a hearty game. We covered up our “ tripper traces ” by gathering all the paper, crumbs, etc., and burning them in a scrub bush well out in the open. The camera played several jokes, and one man was caught washing his hands with the remains of a bottle of lemonade, whilst another tried to catch it with his mouth. After a ramble in pairs and a trio we rolled up for the march homeward. Again the tram was successful in loosening tongues, and the stories told made one almost pinch oneself to make sure it was no dream. What those sedate young ladies of the Upper School could do, or had done ; well ! it was a good thing no teacher was there. On arrival at the Home, we found Miss Hibble had kindly prepared a special supper, and then we had an enjoyable evening over Chefoo songs, rounds, and photos, the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Murray making Chefod seem all the nearer. Our...”

“...But I hear that there is good stuff coming on. * * * * May 22nd.—Can’t make out what the Girls’ School is playing at. Quarantined for scarlatina now, if you please. As if every one did not know that the Spring Term is the right and proper time for such luxuries. This was pointed out to Miss Craig, and that was the end of it, as the small boy said when he trod on the cat’s tail. * * * * May 26th.—The jubilee of the C.I.M. Of course there was a holiday for the Schools, with a service of praise conducted by Mrs. Joyce. The three Schools are testimony enough to the Mission’s principles, and we gladly exclaim : “ What hath God wrought ? ” Buildings, lands, equipment, men and women offering freely for the work of teaching—and all in direct answer to prayer. Truly a sign for such days as these. * * * * May 30th.—Mr. Curtis, well known to all Chefooites, the father of Vaughan Curtis who is now serving King and Country at the Dardanelles, was found drowned this morning. It is a dreadful tragedy,...”

“...last word of comfort, the ambulance train. After a couple of months of medical attention I am marked fit once more, but fortunately as it turns out for me, I damaged my knee and am once again admitted to hospital; a few days later I arrive in England once more, to undergo an operation. Oh ! how good it is to be home once more, to meet one’s wife and dear ones once again, even if it is only for a wee while, before one reports for duty again to do another bit for England, Home and Honour. “ Jock” (Chefoo, 1895-1904). .Si- TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN (i.e. ALL CHEFOOITES). HERE have been quite a few articles in “ The Mag.” about the proposed new School Chapel to be built by funds subscribed by old Chefooitec. The scheme showed signs of being taken up enthusiastically ; some generous fellows seem even to have sent in subs, without waiting for further information. These were informed that the commencement of anything definite and practical in this direction would have to be postponed, and the general...”

“...the winter, and, therefore, the number of visitors in the congregation was almost negligible. Yet, in spite of the use of all three side class-rooms, the room was crowded to its utmost limits. Further, I learned afterwards that almost a dozen Prepites were absent owing to coughs (which have since developed into something causing one of the everlasting quarantines which made up so much of one’s life at Chefoo) ; there were also, it appears, half a dozen girls away. It seems to me, therefore, that it has almost become a question already (i.e., when the quarantines are over) as to which schools will stay out of the united service. This is what it seems to me concerns all Chefooites. I feel sure that every old Chefooite, no matter what his present attitude to things religious, would do what he (or she) could do to prevent the breaking up of this old service. I appeal to all Old Boys to think of a Children’s Service without the girls ! Why, it would be like an interminable quarantine ; which to...”

“...and assistance of parents or guardians. To remain in England and to carry out this resolve seemed an impossibility. Such things, however, are possible , and of frequent occurrence in Canada, where the opportunities and facilities are so much greater. It is the purpose of the writer to tell of some ways and means of putting oneself through College in the hopes that other Chefooites may take advantage of the opportunities, afforded in Canada, of continuing their education after leaving the Chefoo Schools. To do the subject justice would require more space than the proportions of this magazine would allow. Hardly more than a bare enumeration of ways, chiefly those drawn from the writer’s own experience, will be attempted here. Roughly speaking, a College year of eight months costs a student three hundred dollars. It is possible to earn most of this sum during the long summer vacation of four months. The balance can be made up by a loan which can easily be “worked off” after graduation. Many...”

“...l students usually have no difficulty in securing a mission field. A student always values his education more when it has cost him hard-earned cash. It develops the independent spirit, it makes the student more democratic, it turns out scholars who become practical men of the world. Come to Canada, after you leave Chefoo, and prepare for life by putting yourself through College. BIRTHS AND MARRIAGES. On 1st June, at St. Stephen’s Church, Enfield, Lieut.

“...performed by Pastor F. E. Marsh, an old friend of the family. After the reception had been held at Oak Bank and the wedding photos taken, the happy couple left, amid showers of rice, to spend their honeymoon at Torquay— accompanied by an old shoe which was thoughtfully affixed to the door of their railway carriage. The wedding gifts were numerous and of a very handsome character. The bride’s new address will be, Denburn House, Broadway, Withington, Lancs. Mary A. Orr-Ewing. China Inland Mission, Chefoo, Aug. 7th. Dear Mr. Editor, Will you kindly allow me, through your columns, to ask any “ Old Girl,” who remembers some or any part of Miss Norris’ Anthem, “ The Lord is my Shepherd,” to forward a copy of the same to me as soon as possible ? An effort is being made to reconstruct the Anthem, but as this was never committed to manuscript, we must trust to the memories of those who had the pleasure of learning it. A few bars or lines, with words, of either treble or alto parts, will be most acceptable...”

“...Tientsin, September 5th, 1915. Dear Mr. Editor, May I be allowed to take up a few lines in the usual interesting Chefoo Magazine to set a misunderstanding right once and for all. i Some, if not all, of the readers of the Chefoo Magazine will remember that at the last C.I.M.B.S. Exhibition I attended as a scholar in the Chefoo Schools. Mr. Murray, out of the kindness of his heart, made a rather rash statement, which was.“That in the School Records there could be found no Conduct Mark against my name ” ; from this statement some of those who were present wrongly inferred that I never lost one. At that time 1 thought it would die a natural death, and if asked personally about it to deny it ; but, as after two years I have again been congratulated, 1 think it is about time to take some measures to set matters right, so I beg every reader of the Chefoo Magazine, the organ of the Chefoo Schools, to very kindly put a stop to this misunderstanding by firstly being disillusioned, and secondly by letting...”
