“... Briefly, I would like to report on the A.G.M. held in London on 29th December, 1951, at which over 110 members were present. 1. Chefoo Schools. I feel sure you will read Mr. S. G. Martin’s article on the closing of the schools after seventy years with nostalgic memories, and I hope it will instil into each member the absolute necessity of continued C.S.A. membership -and the urge to win every Chefusian for the C.S.A., as without any further increase in entrants from the schools, membership in time must decrease. Everyone must therefore do his utmost to obtain fresh members. I cannot add any further remarks to those of Mr. Martin, but I feel sure all of us greatly regret the necessity of closing the schools down and wish all those who ever taught us the Lord’s blessing and guidance in their future, and do thank them for all that we were taught at the schools. 2.

Members in North America and Australia should order through their Branch Secretaries. . Existing stocks are getting low and it is very doubtful whether present demand will justify the outlay of funds in purchasing new stocks which will probably be considerably higher in price. It will be a pity for the Chefoo Dolphin tie to disappear, but I fear this will happen unless more support is forthcoming, particularly from members in North America. H. F. JOYCE. eifal OTTAWA was at its best for the Royal Visit—-a bright October sun and sky, just a touch of frost in the air, and the tree-lined parks and avenues throwing a brilliant scarf of gold, brown, crimson and evergreen around the city and its Parliament Buildings.

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE A History of the China Inland Mission School at Chefoo, China By DR. F. Chapter VII T^HE rapidly deteriorating Preparatory A School building, now probably sixty or more years old, and its inconvenience for modern educational and residential standards called for new premises. New and more up to date classrooms and rooms for art and crafts were also required for the senior scholars. It was also decided to adopt co-education or cotuition. Work on these began this year, 1932. After many consultations with Mr. D. de B. Robertson, the architect, it was decided to place the P.S. on the west side of San Lane, inside the compound, and the co-ed between the new P.S., and the Boys’ School, parallel with the main road and beach. This necessitated considerable levelling of the ground, during which it was found that the clay could be used for making the bricks, as in building the B.S. in 1896. It also meant the removal of the Gingerbread House, a. little bungalow which had been used as...”

“...for many years. Central heating was installed in the central parts of the G.S. and B.S., and the south verandah of the B.S. glazed in. An extensive epidemic of cholera broke out in Chefoo this August, but about 500 persons in the schools and compound were inoculated by the school Medical Officer and no cases occurred. A Shanghai Reunion of Old Chefoo-ites was held on October 24th. At this it was agreed to form a China Branch of the Chefoo Schools Association, and Miss G. Evans was elected as the Shanghai representative. On the following January 14th (1933) at the 25th Anniversary, of the C. S.A. in England it was decided that the title “ Old Chefusians ” was more acceptable than “ Old Chefoo-ites ” and it was forthwith adopted. The Bethel Band, a small group of Chinese Evangelists who spoke English, visited Chefoo in March, 1933, and addressed the scholars. It was an outstanding spiritual event, and made a deep impression on many. So did the Shantung Revival in the following year. The Children’s...”

“...could not be present. Another large crowd of staff, scholars and friends welcomed them in Chefoo on February nth, all apparently well and none the worse for the exciting adventure. The event was important enough to raise questions and a debate in the House of Commons. Miss Kendon had meanwhile escorted the Hongkong party to Chefoo on another ship. (The above description is chiefly compiled from an account written by Mr. Duncan:) At Easter a combined choir of girls and boys, trained by Mr. Chalkley, gave a beautiful rendering of the Cantata, “ From Olivet to Calvary ”. This year, unfortunately, was characterized by much sickness. A big epidemic of influenza in the spring and scarlet fever in the autumn caused much inconvenience and interference with the holidays. The “ Stunt ” at the school Christmas party this winter took the form of a cleverly designed and beautifully constructed panorama of Chefoo and its harbour. Junks and steamers actually moved across the blue paper sea while the lighthouse...”

“...An Old Boy visiting the School at this time writes, “ One is impressed with the changes that have been made for the better for the safety, health, comfort, convenience and efficiency of all In England the Chefoo Schools Association, whose members had now reached 301, adopted for its crest a Chinese dolphin. It was discovered in the British Museum and designed by Theodore Hirst. Though not specially a School event, a most impressive Memorial Service for King George V was held on January 28th, 1936, in the School Memorial Hall, as St. Andrew’s Church was too small for the occasion. Several Consuls and a number of local Government Officials and Gentry, and " Service men wearing their medals occupied the front seats. The service was conducted by Rev. Ives Stocker, Rev. G. Aldis read the Prayers and H. B. M. Consul, A; G. N. Ogden, Esq., the Lessons. Mr. H. J. Chalkley was at the organ and Rev. A. F. Lutley gave an excellent address.

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE The Kalaupapa Settlement C EVERAL readers of the Chefoo Magazine have probably read the engrossing book by Betty Martin, Miracle at Carville (1950), or its condensation in the Reader's Digest for February, 1951, telling of the author’s successful twenty year fight against leprosy, or Hansen’s disease. Ever since, as a boy of nine, I saw at Chefoo my first leper, begging for alms outside the old San.—he might have stepped right out of the pages of the Old Testament, he was so typically disfigured—I have been interested in the problem of leprosy'control. Hence my desire sometime to catch a glimpse of the famous Kalaupapa Settlement on Molokai. I had the good fortune this year to be invited to teach in the six weeks’ Summer session at the University of Hawaii on the island of Oahu. Part of my family accompanied me. They studied (and played) while I taught (and also played some). My job and their courses concluded, we turned tourist and saw all we could of the four other principal...”

Goodbye Chefoo, Goodbye to School and Staff, Goodbye to friends with whom we’ve loved to laugh, To work and pray, to eat such welcome teas, * To feast by night on fruit,juice, cake and cheese.

For Christians live for ever, love for ever : We cannot part for ever. All that’s good In our society, shall be renewed And glorified : yes, all that I admire In you, I’ll see again, transmuted higher ; And what we must, forgive, and all that’s rotten, Shall be wiped out, by God and us forgotten.

“...3hc Cast Six Ttlonths at JCuling 'T’HE last term of our Seventy Years— A the Autumn Term of 1950—was a good one and went .right through to a proper conclusion. The End of Term Concert on November 30th was the end of seventy years from December 1st, 1880, when the names of Dr. F. _H. Judd and two of his brothers were entered on the Chefoo Boys’ School list. (This record book brought up to date and completed as far as we could with the names from the G.S. list, I have brought home. It starts with many pages in the venerable script of Mr. Alty : then come the diverse hands of Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce, Mr. Houghton, Miss Broom-hall and myself.) After End of Term came hopes of holiday travel for about half the school. For a long time preparations had been in hand ; parents and other escorts were travelling to Hankow. Then for ten days permits were delayed. At this time the Yunnan and Kweichow children had to be told that they could not go : travel beyond Chungking was too...”

“...the role of any character, or group of characters for that matter, he chose. His description of Elijah and the priests of Baal will go with me for the rest of my days especially the high point when, with appropriate actions, he portrayed those perturbed and desperate hierophants as they leaped and cried, “ O Baal, hear us ’. ” His History w'as equally as graphic ; I recall his Wallace assaulting a Scottish castle held by the English. They may use motion pictures for instruction in elementary schools now’-a-days, but these can hardly have the personal touch of Mr. Alty’s characterizations. Perhaps the fact that many years later I achieved an M.A. in Medieval History may have at least one root in his vivid method of teaching. . . . Mr. Alty’s Bible exam was held in a series of individual conferences outside by a corner of the building. I remember being somewhat elated when I found that I had tied with Margaret Alty for second place in the exam two or three points behind Mary Nicoll. Thus the...”

“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE In ^trtnnriatn MR. A. H. FAERS TpEW men in and around Chefoo have been better known by the missionary and non-missionary community than Mr. Faers. Few men have had such a variety of activities and done them more heartily and thoroughly. Mr. Faers came from Gloucester, and in his youth was led to Christ and benefited by the ministry of Rev. J. J. Luce. When he applied to the China Inland Mission his acceptance was doubtful on health grounds, but Mr. J. Hudson Taylor accepted him, and his long and useful life proved the wisdom of this decision. He came to China as one of The Hundred in 1887, escorted by Mr. J. J. Coulthard, another stalwart now living with his son in Canada. In the spring of 1888 he went to Chungking and was put into secretarial work but soon started a boys’ school—a line of work which he delighted in and continued in Suifu and Chefoo. In 1890 when Mr. T. G. Willett relieved him he took the oversight of the spiritual work. The following year he was united...”

“...sister of some Chefoo contemporary ; others were recognized only after a second or third glance had overcome the varied changes of the past decade ; with others the name only was familiar from an old magazine, an Honours list in the schoolroom, or perhaps a pillar at the Bamboo Temple ; whilst all too few were “ the same as ever'”. Games, limited to indoors by the wet weather, were organized by Dave Clarke and Dickson Vinden. In one we guessed certain well known Chefoo characters by a process of “ yes ” and “ no Ruling scholars did nobly when machine-gunned with questions about people well before their time. In another game we dashed round in teams, collecting names of Railway Stations from under flower-pots and behind pictures. Refreshments were next on the programme, tea being served by the ladies. During the afternoon’s reunion one’s thoughts were taken back to old scenes in school life. A foursome of girls at table tennis reminded one of winter holiday games at Chefoo ; when talking...”

“...Fraser though it was only till 8 p.m. We missed Mrs. Bailer who seems unable to meet with us any more. The old game “Jenkins says” was enjoyed by young and old, and the results of the “ tear-outs ” in the dark were both amusing and creditable. A number of photos were taken during the evening by Vern and Keith Draffin. An opportunity was given to Jack Burgess to tell of the Chefooites he met while in England, Canada and U.S.A. After that Stephanos Paradissis, whose father is still residing in Chefoo, told us what the dear old place looked like when he visited it himself during the last twelve months ; a desolate place indeed. 18...”
