O Hawkers or Circulars.” This notice can be found on many garden gates in the suburbs of London, and there was a time when the Editor could read them and pass on without giving them any thought. He must confess now, however, that he cannot restrain a little sympathy for the poor rejected hawker. How distressing it must be to appeal at house after house without response 1
The Editor has begun to experience that feeling ;—Editorial after Editorial and each time appealing and begging. Surely our readers are tired of it ; the Editor is, anyway.
In the last issue it was stated that 56 members had not yet paid their 1926 subscriptions. The Editor wishes to thank those who have responded to that appeal, but would make a further appeal to the remaining 47 who are still in arrears. He feels confident that they mean to pay, and realizes that the purchase of a postal order and the despatch thereof...”

“...Comradeship and Loyalty. A reader of this organ of our Association cannot fail to observe the repeated appeals which are being made by the London Committee through its Secretary and Editor, for the prompt payment of subscriptions and the rendering of articles for the Magazine. Surely those of us who are now “ out in the world ” have
not forgotten our glorious School where we received such an excellent grounding (moral, spiritual and physical) for our present and future life ! Surely the comradeship of those days at School is not forgotten I Surely we are proud—and justly so—of our Alma Mater ! Then let us show our pride and our comradeship by keeping up our interest in our Association, keeping our subs, honourably up to date, letting other Chefooites know of and about us through our Magazine. Let us play our part individually to keep alive—and very much alive—the C.S.A. In short, let us “ play the game,” play it for our Association, and play it hard. Then start now, send your name and address...”

“...Galahad ” will pardon me if I say that I disagree entirely with his last three and a half paragraphs, and I was surprised to read them. Firstly, our Magazine is surely not a place for Old Chefooites to criticize their old or the present masters at Chefoo, or yet to throw blame on them for what they do or do not tell or teach. They have their duty to perform, they know their task, and they know how to handle it with God’s guidance. Our Mag. is an Old Chefooites’ paper and is the organ of our Association (not of the schools). Sir Galahad, as you are a gentleman, I charge you, “ withdraw your accusation of the masters we all love and honour.” They have done their bit and know their duty better than we.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Dear Mr. Editor,
A horrible suspicion is creeping over my mind ; it is that some confreres in China are of the same race of filibusters as Harry Percy the Hotspur, “ he that kills me some six or seven dozen of Scots at a breakfast, washes his hands, and...”

“... pen ?
I see you in fancy, Mr. Editor, sorting through that heap of “ Accounts of Accountants,” and picking from those papers headed “ Are Doctors Human ? ” or “ Sure Insurance,” and my heart beats blithely under its dusky integument.
Believe me,
As faithful as always,

August 23rd, 1926.
To the Editor of the “ Chefoo Magazine.”
Dear Sir,
I noticed in a recent issue of the Magazine that there were only 100 members of the Chefoo Schools (English Schools) Association in England, whereas the Branches abroad seem to be in a far more flourishing condition. It has long been a grievance with me that so very many English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh Chefooites flock to Canada, Australia, and even the United States of America (with all respect), instead of to the good old land which sufficed for their forefathers. It seems a pity. Why do they do it ?
Many of them do it for Educational reasons. They imagine that education is cheaper abroad than at home. Well, it may...”
