“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE General Committee Notes 'THE Committee would like me to convey A to you all its best wishes for a very happy and prosperous New Year 1951, May the Lord be with you during these troublous days. 1. I am sure that you will all have read, with great regret, of the passing of Mr. Stanley Houghton at Ruling. We owe a lot to him as a Master at the Chefoo Schools. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved, and are thankful to know that they have a Comforter and Friend who is ever true and sticketh closer than a brother. 2. We welcome as a Vice-President— Miss Dora Trudinger—nominated by our Australian Branch. We know that she has put in a lot of service for the C.S.A. in that Country and thank her wholeheartedly for her devout support. This is but a small token of our high esteem for her. 3. The long awaited Address Book is now ready, and we hope' to distribute it with this magazine. If you see any errors, please let me know. If you know of any old Chefusians whose names...”

“...A History of the China Inland Mission School at Chefoo, China By DR. F. V rT'HE First Great World War was now over (1919), and the school’s relationship to it should be recorded. By the time the Armistice was signed two hundred, i.e. 80% Old Boys, and a number of the Old Girls were on active service or engaged in war work : 75% of the former were serving before conscription was introduced. The majority were holding commissions. In 1916 King George V sent to the schools an expression of appreciation of what the School was doing. The following is, as far as can be ascertained, a list of those who obtained distinctions. Jean Chaffonjon, F. V. Curtis and Stanley Clark received the Croix de Guerre, the last with riband ; T. McCarthy, W. Taylor and F. V. Curtis the Military Medal ; G. Butland, B. Cahusac, G. Clark, M. Forsyth, L. Kidd, Algernon Smith and J. Wright the Military Cross ; G. Butland and M. Mills were mentioned in despatches ; P. Le-Provost and another received the Distinguished Service...”

“...for the Prep. School ; Mrs. S. Carr, October, 1921, who relieved Mrs. Kpight for furlough, and Miss M. A. Orr-Ewing, 1922, for the Girls’ School. Dr. and Mrs. Dixon from America paid a visit to Chefoo during the first week of July, 1922, and were a means of spiritual blessing. So were Mr. and Mrs. Sherwood Eddy in mid-October. Though his meetings were primarily for the Chinese, resulting in over 900 signing papers to study the Gospels, and over 100 to be Christians, Dr. Eddy also addressed the schools ; a service which was pronounced one. of the best ever. held. Typhoons seldom come as far north as Chefoo, but on September 2nd and 3rd, one of unusual severity attacked the port for thirty-six hours. The roofs of two upper classrooms of the Prep. School were damaged and the verandah collapsed. Fortunately no children were present at the time. It was this winter that the Northern Party ran into the severe blizzard mentioned earlier in this history. The Boys’ Literary and Debating Society was...”

“...MAGAZINE Changes in the staff this year, 1923, included the return-of.Mrs. P. Knight on May 20th to relieve Mrs. S. Carr as Principal. Miss Craig left for Canada ; and Miss E. A. Powell, the music teacher to the boys, returned to Australia, accompanied by her parrot who doubtless rejoiced to see “ his own, his native land This autumn was a time of much sickness, especially of scarlet fever and diphtheria. The latter robbed the schools of two of the scholars. The wholesale inoculations which followed and were continued were successful in banishing that disease from the schools. As previously mentioned, a Memorial Hall was erected in memory of the thirty-four who lost their lives in the Great War. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. A. Taylor a sum of money was contributed by old scholars and friends. The plans were made in detail by Mr. D. de B. Robertson of the China Inland Mission, and on May 1st, 1923, the Foundation Stone was laid by Dr. Judd with a silver trowel, now in frequent use as a paper...”

“...Not only was psychiatric work very backward, but one of the hospitals had been occupied by three different armies during the war, and a police school still had its newest building. We were not able to do much, but we did make a start by giving a course in mental nursing to the staff in two mental hospitals, which paved the way for further work if the Greeks wished to carry it on. On returning from Greece I was appointed Inspector of Training Schools for the General Nursing Council of England and Wales. This involved visiting about 186 training schools in mental and mental deficiency hospitals, and it took just over two years. This was a period of great difficulty for mental hospitals, and also a period of great hopes and fears. Many changes were being made, and more were expected, and one found optimism and pessimism side by side. On the one hand there is a more liberal attitude and greater opportunities in. the National Health Service, on the other all the difficulties of shortages, both...”

“...kept himself free from any local entanglements, and went around putting J.Rs. on top of W.As. He found me under Polverino and flicked us over, and placing Polverino’s arm over a suitable stone ledge, he left us. I sat on the chap’s chest and every time he moved bent his arm back ! ! Through these past months on furlough memories have come crowding back. At the Annual Meetings of the Mission in London last year I met Miss Blackmore, Mr. McCarthy, Dr. Judd and Mr. Bruce. All Principals of the Schools during my time. And I can’t begin to mention all the old masters and teachers I met in Canada, America, England and here in Australia. Forty years on, when afar and asunder, Parted are those who are singing to-day, When you look back and forgetfully wonder What you were like in your work and your play— Then it may be there will often come o’er you Glimpses of notes like the catch of a song, Visions of boyhood will float them before you, Echoes of dreamland will waft them along-------- Do You...”

“...of Sledging on longer runs than the B.D. road or the old Highway. As one visits Austria the tragedy of the dismemberment of this once mighty empire is more and more evident. Now it is only an insignificant country with glorious scenery and a beautiful old capital city in Vienna. This city is still one of the most attractive places in Europe not only for its historical past of which there are many splendid memorials, but also, because it still leads the world in Music and its medical teaching schools are slowly regaining their former leadership in Medicine. Salzburg, a famous ecclesiastic city with a very interesting history, was well worth visiting during the Mozart festival. The city itself has much attraction for anyone with an exploring tendency. There is the old historic, one time impregnable, castle to wander round, old catacombs to explore, ancient . churches to visit and narrow winding streets to get lost in. Paris in the spring-time well justified its claim to be the most beautiful...”
