“...December. 1929 GENERAL SECTION. EDITORIAL. T is the aim of the General Committee to make the Chefoo Schools Association a world-wide organisation. The New Constitution was drawn up with this in view and steps have been taken by the Committee to link up with our members in other parts of the world. Soon after the publication of the last issue of this magazine a cable was received from the Shanghai Secretary to the effect that the New Constitution had been agreed to by his Committee. This was very encouraging news, but unfortunately as no further communication has yet been received, we are unable to estimate the amount of support which will be forthcoming from our members in China. The intention of the New Constitution was to give Branch Committees free control of the activities of their respective branches. At the same time, however, various provisions for the general organisation of the Association, which are only supplementary to the Constitution, were drawn up and submitted to Canada and...”

“...PAGE TWO CHEFOO Magazine. 2. If sufficient copy is received the Magazine will be published in London in March, July and November. 3. It shall be the duty of Branch Committees or Secretaries to send suitable copy for the Magazine to reach the Hon. General Secretary not later than the first day of the month preceding the month of publication. At the same time they shall state the number of copies required, allowing for a few spare copies. In the absence of such information the same number as required of the previous issue shall be supplied and paid for. 4. It is earnestly recommended that all material submitted for publication be signed by the writer and also the date of leaving Chefoo be added, e.g., B.Box. ’23 or B. Box. 2C3. 5. No material which is calculated to provoke undesirable controversy of any form whatsoever shall be accepted for publication. For the present it is requested that all material submitted should have some direct bearing on activities and news of the Schools and members...”

“...CHEFOO PAGE THREE It is the hope of the General Committee that these arrangements will soon be adopted and also that we shall soon enlist the support of our members in Australia through the Shanghai Committee, to whom they were attached under the previous arrangements. The purpose of the General Section of the magazine is to report news of general interest to all branches and in particular news of the Chefoo Schools. In this respect we are indebted to the Chefusian for a considerable amount of “ copy,” which has been reprinted in our pages. It has been possible to produce only two magazines for 1929, and three issues per annum does not appear to be practicable until our other branches come to the support of our Canada and England branches, who are our only contributors at present.

“...PAGE FOUR CHEFOO THE DEDICATION OF THE NEW GATES. THESE gates, which now command the entry from the Beach Road to the B.S. field, were erected during the latter half of the last term. The Dedication Service, conducted by Mr. Coulthard, was held on the 22nd of August, and was attended by a large number, including all the scholars staying at the schools. The meeting commenced with the singing of a hymn, “ O God, our help in ages past,” after which Mr. Coulthard read the 145th Psalm. Then Mr, McCarthy read the letter from the donors and made his speech, as given below: “The beautiful gates, which have been given to the Boys’ School, like all its other property, belong to the China Inland Mission, and a...”

“...CHEFOO PAGE FIVE record of the gift with a plan of the gates is in the Headquarters of the Mission in Shanghai. But the care of these gates will devolve on the School and, in the name of the Boys’ School, I accept with gratitude this timely and useful gift, and with it the responsibility for the due and proper care of the gates. “The Donors may rest assured that their desire that they should serve the school as a memorial of those who laid down their lives, will be met. May the ready response and devotion to that which was considered their duty by the two Old Boys in whose memory these gates have been erected, be an inspiration to all of us now at the school and to those who will come after us.” Mr. Coulthard concluded with prayer, and the proceedings ended. The following is the inscription on the gates : August 1928 These Gates Were Presented to the School in Memory of Paul J. Riley and Alfred I, Andrew two of the Old Boys who laid down their lives in the Great War. The families of the...”

“...PAGE SIX CHEFOO CHEFOO NOTES. NEW B.S. GATES. An account appears elsewhere in this issue of the dedication of the new gates which have been presented to the Boys’ School by the families of two Old Boys, namely, Paul Riley and Alfred Andrew, who laid down their lives in the Great War. BOYS’ SCHOOL HOUSES. The Chefusian says : “ Old Boys will be interested to hear that the four School Houses have been reduced to three ; the reason being that there are too few boys to make up the full four. The Staff decided to drop Morrison, as it was the only House without its name engraved on the House Shield. The members of Morrison have been divided between the other three—Livingstone, Paton and Carey. Because of this change House cricket matches (after being dropped for about three years) have again been resumed.” Last Winter Term there were 76 girls at the G.S. and 71 boys at the B.S. SWIMMING, 1928. The swimming is still of very high standard as shown by the following successes in the Long Swims :—...”

“... Castleton, L. Abbott and F. Wilson. SUNDRY ITEMS OF INTEREST. A Choir has been formed by Mr. Houghton to lead the singing in the Memorial Hall Services. Dr. Hogg has left Chefoo and his place has been taken by Dr. Dickson, who has come from America. The B.S. Literary Society is thriving and held a very successful Mock Trial as one of its efforts. Interesting visits were paid to two British battleships, the Suffolk and the Sirdar, which were at Chefoo last October. The G.S. Hockey field has been enlarged, some friends of the School having undertaken this improvement. J. Cunningham was Hockey Captain. Basket Ball has also been introduced at the G.S....”

“...PAGE EIGHT CHEFOO CHILDREN’S SPECIAL SERVICE MISSION, AUGUST 5—12. THE C.S.S.M. this summer was conducted along rather different lines from usual, occupying as it did only eight days. The first meeting, on Sunday, August 5th, was a lantern service. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday the young people were divided into three groups, X, Y, Z, according to age. The Seniors met at the Presbyterian School, where a large room was kindly lent to us by Miss Carter ; the Middle Group usually met at “ Moore’s Fort ” (though for their Camp Fire Yarn they went farther afield) while the Juniors gathered under the trees in the Prep. School North Playground. On Wednesday, a combined Missionary Day and Birthday was observed. A large crowd gathered on the beach for the afternoon service, during which the Leader, Mr. Houghton, gave a stirring missionary address. The last meeting, like the first, was a lantern service on the beach. The Missionary Offering, given during the week, and amounting to Mex....”

“...PAGE NINE CHEFOO Miss K. I. WILLIAMSON. It was with regret that we heard of the death of Miss K. I. Williamson early this year. She was one of the Vice-Presidents of the Association for many years. She went to China in 1887 and superintended the Home for Missionaries in Shanghai until 1893, when she returned to England. In 1895, at Mr. Hudson Taylor’s request, she took charge of the C.I.M. Home at Newington Green, and retired finally from the work in 1909. She will always be remembered for her kindness to the children of her fellow missionaries. The Boys’ School, Chefoo. From an etching by Mr. Edwards of the B.S. Staff....”

“...PAGE TEN CHEFOO ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND SECTION. EDITORIAL. SINCE the publication of our first number under the new constitution, we have been pleased to hear from various sources that the new magazine is generally considered an improvement on the old. But we do want to stress the necessity for all Chefooites to “ do their bit ” by sending in contributions, chiefly in the way of news concerning themselves and their doings. We want the magazine to be a real bond of union between members not only of the England Section, but also of those overseas, and this can only be done by mutual co-operation. We are still waiting to receive some assistance from our members in Scotland. Once again our grateful thanks are due to Mr. and Mrs. Milner Morris who so kindly laid themselves out again this year to make the Summer Reunion such a success. It was a great pleasure to meet two of our Canadian members, namely, Kenneth Taylor and Kenneth Evans, who were on a visit to this country during the summer. It would...”

“... The Reunion, however, did not entirely consist of games. It was a true reunion in that it proved a real opportunity of renewing old friendships and reviving pleasant memories. Many years of Cnefoo history were represented and, some having only recently arrived from the Schools, we were brought well up to date. A refreshing supper was very kindly provided for all, after which we united in thanking God for the happy day He had given us, and above all, praising Him for all that Chefoo has meant to us. The following were present :— Mr. and Mrs. Morris. Mr. and Mrs. Bird. Brian Morris. Irene Wilson. Rhona Morris. Amy Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Martin. Henry Guinness. Morris Martin. Clarence Preedy.

“...PAGE TWELVE CHEFOO SEE HOW THEY HOWL! SCHOOLBOY HOWLERS are a source of infinite delight if they are real. We have read some in the papers that were very amusing and clever, a little too clever, in fact, for we were left wondering whether the Genus Boy, as we knew him, ever did produce such answers or whether some journalistic hack turned them out at so much a dozen. But suppose that a schoolmaster determined that, from the first, he would keep a record of howlers presented to him in examination papers, and suppose that opposite each atrocity he put the name of the perpetrator and the date of the ghastly deed, what then ? Those of you who were at the Boys’ School from 1915 to 1922 had such a master and many a time did you beg him to bring out his book of howlers and read from it when prep, was over for the day. What shouts of delight there were when some particularly howling howler was trotted out! For some little time this interesting book was lost, but it has now been found, and ere it...”

“...CHEFOO PAGE THIRTEEN and its feminine is Duchess, that the two genders of Rabbit are Brerrabbit and Sister-rabbit and that the plural of Loaf is Loafers. A Grammar class was once asked to write sentences bringing in the words Lent and Leant and this atrocity was committed in cold blood : ■“ Leant is a time for holiday making.” There is the bell again—for Break. The lesson now is History—English history at that, with all its intricacies and complications. The teacher was really anxious that some of the more important events in our island story should be understood in their true significance, and he took some pains to make matters clear. He cannot say that he felt unduly flattered when as considered answers in an examination he received the following:— “ Magna Carta was a piece of paper with some rules on it which the person who signed it had to keep.” “ The Petition of Right was a thing that made right people do ■wrong and wrong people do right.” The gaiety of the Staff was added to when...”

“...PAGE FOURTEEN CHEFOO home folk in the Saturday letter that “ Five ships are weighting at the Blough,” while another was heard to ask if photograph was spelt with a capital F. Let us conclude with a few of a general character. You did not know, I suppose, that Milton wrote “ Sesame and Lilies,” that Dr. Johnson was the man who improved Shakespeare, that King Alfred wrote a book in Tudor English and that the tennis champion of the world in 1921 was, who do you think? Tennyson ! A certain Sixth Form was once told to write an essay on “ Eloquence as a power in the world.” One boy misheard the title and wrote reams on the destructiveness and usefulness of—elephants. In a Junior General Knowledge class boys were asked what they understood by “ Congress.” Dead silence ensued and the master expressed surprise that he had drawn blank. Tentatively a hand went up and the owner ventured, “ Please, sir, a female from the Congo.” We are all aware that many of our boys have lost a great deal by being...”

“...CHEFOO PAGE FIFTEEN WHAT OF THE NIGHT? WAKE up, Nurse, it is 7.20 p.m.” This, accompanied by a loud hammer on your door, happens frequently when you have been on night duty for several weeks, and so manage to sleep peacefully on, not hearing the rising bell at 7 p.m. Then follow a scramble out of bed, a hurried dress, and scurrying to the dining hall by 7.40 p.m. Breakfast is over and we are on duty by 8 p.m. Day Nurses now hurry off duty and the Night Staff carry on. First a “ Good-evening ” and a little chat with every patient (and there are twenty to thirty of them!). They tell us their little bits of news and how they have progressed during the day. We sometimes are able to give a word of cheer to those who may be very tired of bed, and so help to settle them off for a restful night. Next, instructions are given for the night by Sister, and peace reigns—sometimes ! The next event is the night visit of the Houseman (doctor), which may be at any time between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., according...”

“...PAGE SIXTEEN CHEFOO It is hard work, but a work worth while. For patients often need more nursing at night than day. Our times on duty are long, but two nights off duty a month help a long way, especially if you have the chance to go to the country and have a real rest and plenty of fresh air. L. G. B.

“...CHEFOO PAGE NINETEEN RECEPTION FOR MR. AND MRS. COULTHARD MR. AND MRS. J- J- COULTHARD, after more than half a century of labour in China, have retired from active service and are now living in Toronto. On the evening of June 1st, the Toronto Chefooites held a reception in their honour at McMaster University. Between forty and fifty were present and we al! had a very jolly time. During the course of the evening we enjoyed several delightful musical numbers. Rose Olsen played a pianoforte solo, and Edward Bevis gave two violin selections. Ruth Bevis sang three charming little songs from “When We were Very Young,” and later, an Italian serenade with violin obligato. It was unfortunate that the Toronto Transportation Commission should have chosen the night of our reception to tear up the street car tracks opposite McMaster, but our musical artistes rose nobly to the occasion and quite outdid the batteries of pneumatic drills outside. The refreshment committee served a very dainty supper, with...”

“...PAGE TWENTY CHEFOO A CANOE, A TENT, AND A CAN OPENER. THE above, plus fishing tackle, an axe, beans, bully-beef and bacon, some sort of map of your district, a few other essential odds and ends, and a week or more of spare time are all you require. The country is free—thousands of square miles of it— silvery lakes studded with rocky islands, rushing streams and densely forested mainland. You can plan a trip for any length of time from a week to a couple of months and enjoy a holiday with such scenery, fishing and solitude as only the great north country of Canada can afford, and experience, too, something of that pioneer thrill of exploring. In August, 1927, five of us (an engineer and an accountant, each with a wife, and myself the lone Chefooite) spent a week in the country east of the upper waters of the Gatineau River, about one hundred miles due north of Ottawa. August is probably the best month for such a trip. It is usually a month of brilliant sunshine, and the black flies and ...”
