“...response to the appeal of our last issue. The subscriptions have been coming in very well, and our efforts towards attracting both new and lapsed members have been well rewarded.
The appeal for literary aid has also been more successful, but we need consistent help. If in future we are to produce three magazines per annum, then all our members must co-operate in making these full of interest. The magazine must be made a means of keeping us in touch, not only with Chefoo, but with each other. It is not right to say that only the Chefoo news matters. It certainly is very important, and our China sections look after this admirably, but we want news of the activities of Chefooites who have left school. The Editor heartily agrees with one correspondent that actual letters from Chefooites for the magazine add a personal interest to it. If any feel that they cannot do that, then they ought to consider it their duty to write a letter or post card to the Secretary at least once a year giving news of...”

“...colours,” which could be used for making Old Chefooite ties and scarves. The Committees think that this is worthy of consideration and invite members to send to the Secretary designs and suggestions of suitable colours. Care must be taken that they are not similar to any other recognized “ colours.” We have yet to hear the opinion of other branches on this matter, but if the scheme is carried through, the Committee offer a prize of a free scarf or tie to the person whose design is adopted.
The Chefoo Summer Reunion, an account of which appears elsewhere, was a great success both in attendance and enjoyment. We are very grateful to Mr. Willett for doing so much in organizing the preparation of the Chinese Feast. The Winter Reunion is provisionally fixed for Saturday, January 9th.
This issue is being dated November, 1925. We are corresponding with the China branch with a view to altering the dates of our issues to March, July, and November. Owing to summer holidays extending into September...”

“...gifts from their Comrades in the Home Countries, will be seen from many letters of appreciation published in Young China, the bi-monthly magazine of the Comradeship.
This is a most delightful paper, containing thrilling articles written by missionaries on the field, some of whom are “ Old Girls ” and “ Old Boys ” (which fact alone speaks for itself!) and illustrated by typical scenes of that beautiful country so dear to many of us. One •often comes across a familiar spot—sometimes of beloved old Chefoo— .and even Lao Shui’s portrait has appeared in one issue ! Early stories of the C.I.M. are now being published in Young China, and these are indeed most interesting and inspiring. Extracts of missionaries’ letters appear under the heading “ From our China Mail Bag ” ; and many a Comrade’s heart glows as words of appreciation for gifts of all kinds are read. One can picture poor neglected little children of China utterly transformed as a result of prayers and gifts of Comrades.
From the Editor’s...”

“...the feast, our ever-cheerful Col. Winn read an interesting letter from Mr. Godfrey Webb-Peploe, giving an account of his time in Chefoo, where he had been conducting sea-side services. Our Chairman, Mr. Mudditt then spoke of his personal acquaintance with Mr. Webb-Peploe, and reminded us of the high ideals which had been set before us at Chefoo and of the responsibility attached to the privilege of having been to such a school.
Mr. McCarthy spoke a few helpful words and mentioned the news of Egerton Bobby’s death, and asked for our special sympathies for the bereaved. We sang our old favourite, the 23rd Psalm.
A happy day was brought to a close with hurried good-byes, accompanied by the music of broom and dust pan, which showed that Chefooites as well as other good people are only too willing to set themselves to a humble task—especially in the cause of Chefoo.
We are exceedingly grateful to Miss Taylor for her kind loan of the kitchen ; to Mr. Willett for the way in which he bore the burden...”

“...a huge family entails any amount of routine work—medical and surgical—in affections of every organ of the human body, affording one considerable experience of the ailments of children of all ages.
In closing, a hearty welcome is extended to any Chefooites who would like to see something of the work in the Boys’ Garden City at Woodford Bridge, or the Girls’ Village Homes at Barkingside, Essex.

DEATHS.
Miss Aplin, at Chefoo, on October 7th.
G. Egerton Bobby, on August 29th, at Manchester. The news of the passing of Egerton Bobby was indeed a great shock to many Chefooites. We offer our sincere sympathies to the bereaved widow, parents, and sister.

“...writing letters that any unconverted girl might have written, and God gave me a vision one Sunday of what might be accomplished were my correspondence surrendered. I was writing to girls in eight different countries, of all classes and conditions, and it was not until then that I realised what a responsibility this meant.
But what has made the greatest difference in my life since Keswick is the time set apart every day for Bible reading and prayer. I am ashamed to confess that although trained in Chefoo and at home to give time morning and evening to God, I had almost given this up since leaving school; and what little time I did give was very irregular and very often was left over for Sunday. At Keswick I joined the Young People’s “ League of the Morning Watch,” which was founded,

“...this year, by Dr. S. Holden. In doing so I promised to have at least fifteen minutes’ quiet time every morning before breakfast, and everything has been so different since.
I do feel that I had a wonderful privilege and responsibility in going to Keswick, but have we not all a responsibility in having been to school in Chefoo ? And are we all living up to it ?
Yours very sincerely,
Joy Guinness.
NORTH AMERICAN ITEMS.
The Nursing profession seems to be undergoing somewhat of a slump in Canada. There were no recruits to its ranks from among Chefooites this year. Several seem to have inclined toward it in the States. Dorothy Foucar and Jessie Jennings are, I understand, learning the gentle art at the University Hospital. 3400, Spencer Street, Philadelphia, and Dorothy Loosley at St. Luke’s Hospital, Kansas City, Mo.
Marguerite Dickie graduated from the Oshawa General Hospital this spring, and has since been accumulating a fortune in the City, whence come the motor cars.

“...decision of Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy to return to Chefoo, owing to the breakdown in health of Dr. Judd. We Chefooites in England cannot be grateful enough for all that Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy have meant to us during their time here, both in their help and presence at all our Reunions, and also in their interest in the Association “ behind the scenes.”
The date of their departure for China is not fixed, but we are sure that all Chefooites either residing in, or visiting London, will take any opportunity they have of saying good-bye to our President and Mrs. McCarthy.
OXFORD RESULTS.
News has just come to hand of the splendid results of the Oxford exams, held at Chefoo this year. Details will be published—we hope—in the China issue. Heartiest congratulations to all the successful candidates.
THE WINTER REUNION
Is fixed for the evening of Saturday, January 9th, to be held at Newington Green. Please write to the Secretary soon, and say “ how you would run a Chefoo Reunion if you were the Secretary.” We...”

“...CORRES PONDENCE.
Feversham,
Ont.
Dear Mr. Editor,
I received that copy of the mag. which you sent me in advance of the regular Canadian batch, and, Mr. Editor, I must congratulate you on giving us a mag. full of news about Chefoo and Chefooites. Considering the difficulty you have to face, I think I am right in saying that I express the feelings of Chefoo in Canada, at least, when I say that the last mag. was a great achievement of journalistic endeavour.
So much for Blarney. Now, like Sir Oracle, I turn to a little criticism which I hope will be constructive.
I notice that in the China Section there are several letters printed—from Malcolm Trudinger, Kitty Waters and Annie Burgess. It seems, to me at least, Mr. Editor, that those letters add a personal touch to ths mag. which is not found in the regulation type of article, with its futile attempts at comedy, and its worse tragedy.
Would it not be a capital idea, sir, to print more letters in the English section? But, you say, “Where are...”
