“...Shanghai at not too distant a date. In connection with this, the Committee earnestly solicits volunteers to fill the vacancy. Applications, with full references and testimonials should be sent in to any of the Committee members. $ $ m This is the third issue of the China supplement of “Chefoo”, and though readers have responded more warmly to the persistent appeal for articles, surely Chefoo produced more literary talent than has yet been brought to our notice. The great aim of the Magazine is to form a link between old friends, and anything one may write of one’s work or experiences will be of interest. We shall be specially glad to receive “Impressions” from old Chefooites who spend their holidays in Chefoo. 3S iS iS We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of letters from Eric Soderbom and Heather Peill who were winners of the Essay prizes....”

“...one whose career has brought him into a close contact with business men both in the West and in the Far East, among them some whose business careers were in fact commenced and have been continued to the present without a further course of study beyond that undertaken at the Chefoo Boys’ School. My object in writing this article is not to flaunt the opportunities afforded to those fortunate ones whereby they have been permitted or persuaded to undertake further study after leaving Chefoo before the eyes of those less fortunate ones, whose desires or circumstances have placed them into a business career and left them there without a further course of study. If, however, any boys who are still at school, or have left recently, should by reading this be influenced to go through with even one course of study either before going into an office or during their first few years of business life, I should be sufficiently rewarded. 4...”

“...Nevertheless for the average boy to succeed in his business career, a further course of study, is, apart from fortune (call it what you will) which plays so great a part in every condition of life, in the opinion of many, an essential. There are many, including in their number, I regret to say, some old boys of the Chefoo Schools, who to-day would have been, other things having been equal, in a far happier position in business in the East had they undergone a further course of study (not necessarily of their own limited branch of business, not necessarily abroad, and not necessarily before commencing heir career). Consequently allow me to urge most strongly upon the present boys of the Chefoo School, whose intention it is to enter on a business career in the East, the highly advantageous action of taking up a course of study beyond that undertaken at that school. 6...”

“...>" • ■■" "" ) The Chefoo-Weihsien Motor Road By W. M. Cornwell Responding to a request for an article on the Chefoo-Weihsien Motor Road, I take great pleasure in giving a brief summary of affairs dealing with the Road, particularly as it may help to bring the reality of the Road nearer to the minds of a great many more subscribers to the “Chefoo Magazine” and possibly lead them back to their old haunts. As Editor of the local daily and as one particularly interested in getting Chefoo connected with its neighboring cities by land rather than depending solely upon the sea trip, as the only means of access and exit, I have written lots, talked considerably, and done a little towards this overland means of communication. Chefoo has been hindered in its development by international jealousies, that is, several foreign powers have, in their time, exercised considerable effort in preventing the maturing of plans for the linking of Chefoo to Weihsien by a road. Besides being hindered by international...”

“...road, most of which ran between Lungkou and Weihsien, with only three cars on the Lungkou-Chefoo section. The service was so well patronized that the various stations refused to make any more reservations, as the reservations already in hand could not be accommodated. The trip if made straight through to Weihsien from Chefoo, would take about eight hours, but for some unknown reason the present Road Administration make it necessary to proceed to Lungkou flrst, a three to five hour trip, stop over night and then proceed to Weihsien the following day. This is very inconvenient, especially for foreign travellers. At present even what few cars have been operating from Chefoo are more or less out of commission, so that to-day the Service is quite disorganized. It is hoped that with the coming of Spring more cars will be introduced on to the line and everything will be more satisfactory. The fare from Chefoo to Weihsien is around thirteen dollars. 8...”

“...motor-cycles the road is at present free to all, but it is expected that a license will be levied a little later on. When Fords become as universally owned in China as they are in the States, we hope all old Chefooites will take a run up to Chefoo and plan for an annual motor outing here. Chefoo is already feeling the impetus of the new road. Properties are increasing in value and business men are anticipating a gradual increase in traffic on account of the accessibility of the hinterland. At a recent dinner given in his honor, Mr. Kao En Hung stated that within three years a railroad would be laid over the route of this present motor road, with some changes in curves and routing in order to make the laying of a railroad more feasible. So you see, Chefoo has her means of communication other than by sea and those with faint hearts, who do not go near the water, can travel here overland. ww ww ww Foundation Day and Boat Races A warm sun, a comparatively high tide, and a complete absence of wind...”

“...that delightful part of the Compound, which the programme so indefinitely calls “ under the trees.” After having been refreshed with Mrs. Clinton’s excellent tea, cakes and lemonade, all adjourned to the tennis court to watch what proved to be the closest and most interesting game of the afternoon. The contesting partners were Freda Conway and Robert Hockman v Kathleen Davies and Harold Warren, who were playing the final match of the Tennis Tournament for the beautiful racquets presented by the ChefOo Schools Association. 10...”

“...but perhaps most of all the rooms of my hosts where Chefoo cups and caps adorned the walls unostentatiously conspicuous. Two old Chefooites sharing a room seemed to me a delightful camaraderie. A Jolly Rover and a War Arrow united at last! The impossible accomplished I In genuine regret I left them, but lectures called them, and for me also a lecture for being late home to meet our old friends Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes with whom we breakfasted on the next and last morning, in company with the giant Bernard who runs Warren Knight closely for the Old Boy height contest, details of which our enterprising Editor and Editoress will no doubt soon place on the notice board. So Good-bye Toronto! If the Old Country proves too cold I will migrate thitherwards, but talking of contests and realising how little I have said of our Old Girls and their achievements and their charming ways may I not suggest, Mr. Editor, that you start at once the Great Chefoo Beauty Prize and Photograph contest—think what your...”

“...i ® W~ttT rnrrgo C. I. M. B. S. Literary and Debating Society. (by Alister H. G. Grosart) An account of the activities of this Society, must of necessity commence with the name of Mr. Bazire, who has done so much during the last five months to further its interests. When he arrived in Chefoo, in February, the Committee hearing of his great literary talent, decided to ask him to accept the Presidency. This he did, and from that time started a thorough reorganization of the Society, which resulted in a programme of Debates and Lectures being drawn up for the next few months. Towards the end of Febiuary the new president was introduced to the Society, at a meeting in which eight members were called upon to make impromptu speeches, on subjects as follows:—“ Our Late Head ”—“ The Ideal Master ” —“ The Ideal School Boy ”—“ The Effeminacy of Parting the Hair in the Centre ” — “ Second Form Reminiscences ” — “ Sweet Are the Uses of Adversity”—“ Nihil Absque Lahore” and “ The Disadvantages of Early...”

“...best motor cycling goggles would do. We cut twenty tons of hay at half the ton, and as there were no railway trucks found we had worked too hard. The day had been hot and the search for the jelly was furious. No, we were not beaten, and we drank the “ jellies ” down before refilling our cups with tea, and had all evening to find the wild oats in our boots, socks and clothes, and the reason why the jelly refused to set. A Failure, “ THE BUSH,” Australia. ww ww ww A Chefoo Wedding On Wednesday, January loth, at 11 a.m. a Chefoo wedding took place at Paoning, Szechuen, the bride being Miss Grace Jackson, and the bridegroom Mr. Fred. H. Easton. The ceremony was performed by Bishop Cassels in the chapel of his house. Mrs. Cassels gave away the bride, and Rev. H. G. Thompson was best man. The bridesmaids were the Misses D. and G.

“... Among those who have recently passed through Shanghai are Mr. and Mrs. Faers who have just returned to Chefoo from furlough in England, and Bob, who has gone with them. Miss Jones has resumed her work at the Girls’ School. During her absence Mrs. Doherty has been looking after the wardrobes. Mrs. Doherty is now helping Miss Williams who is taking up the position of housekeeper vacated by Miss Robotham. Miss Williams is a new worker from Australia, and we wish her all success and happiness in her new job. Alice Stevens, who went home about two years ago for missionary training, has returned as a member of the C. I. M. Old members of the Staff who have left for furlough during the last few months are Dr. and Mrs. Dansey Smith for England, Miss Robotham for England, Miss Craig for Canada, Miss Powell for Australia, and Mrs. Carr for England. Mrs. Knight has recently returned to Chefoo to take up again her work as Headmistress of the Girls’ School. We hope she has enjoyed her furlough and...”

“...extensive holiday tour with his parents, having left Singapore last December and travelled via Suez through Italy, France, the British Isles, the United States and Japan. On leaving Shanghai he intended resuming his work with the Standard Oil Company at Java, where he was stationed for two or three years prior to his leave. After Chefoo he went to Princeton, from which university he later graduated; during the war he saw service as an air pilot attached to the U. S. Navy. We have strong suspicions that his life in both these spheres was marked by the same efficiency which characterised his school career at Chefoo. 27...”

“...CORRESPONDENCE. Extract of letter from Mr. Bazire of the Boys’ School. Chefoo, giving his first impressions of the place “My very first impression of Chefoo was that, as a welcome change from Chinkiang, it does not smell ’. My second impression was that I was wrong, and that, like the curate’s egg, it does in parts. Mj' third, and last impression was that the genus Boy is pretty much the same in China as he is at Home. Perhaps I should record an additional and most forcible impression, namely that the boys* hair badly needed cutting.” ww ww Extract of a letter from Mr. Coulthard giving an up-to-date account of money received for the Memorial Hall Fund. “The amount actually paid in to date, both here and at Shanghai, is $10,017.49, in addition we have promises unpaid to the amount of $600 which I could obtain at short notice. Then in the account left by Mr. Taylor he mentions a sum of $200 coming from Peking, but that has not crystallised yet. The total amount we can actually count upon...”

“...the “ Tuvuan,” not knowing there was anyone on board from Chefoo, and judge my delight to see Miss Powell, Miss Ina Trudinger and others : my only disapointment was I could not have the pleasure of a visit from either of them, as arrangements for their brief stay had already been made, so after seeing Ina safely to her friends at Ashfield I' saw them no more, but I hope Miss Powell will come and see me on her return, before sailing for Chefoo. Whilst on the subject I would like to say how pleased we would be to have a visit from anyone from Chefoo. We are not too far from Sydney and have a splendid train service. My eldest son Vaughan, who is an Anzac, is engaged to be married next August to a Miss M. Harder, and if any old Chefoo friends of his are in Sydney, needless to say he will be delighted to see them. Arthur is my right-hand man, and no one could want a better ; he is an all round farmer. Who would have thought at Chefoo he would have turned out so methodical and precise in every...”
