“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE, NO. 65 DEC. i960 A Chefoo Street .\ga Tawa, Mar ton, . Yew Zealand. T9isitin^ lliz Kiwis \ S the Rangitoto steamed into Auckland harbour and turned round the last bay we had a magnificent view of the city. Dominating the scene was the Museum, a large white building. Houses of all colours rose up the hillsides, mainly of painted wood. These were interspersed with numerous extinct volcanoes, green and dotted with sheep. Most houses are detached bungalows as there is plenty of room. A large proportion of these are modern and convenient, and a wash-house and washing-machine are considered essentials. There are hardly any cellars for coo! storage, so most people have a refrigerator. The gardens are well kept and possess a large variety of flowering shrubs. As mother once said, when looking sorrowfully at our sooty Sheffield garden, “ Things just grow in New Zealand Soon I was being initiated into the New Zealand customs and vocabulary. Morning and afternoon teas are often elaborate...”

“...a scholarship examination as a grading system for various secondary schools, and instead of going to secondary school at the age of eleven plus, New Zealand children are thirteen years old, and take their school certificate after three years secondary education. They attempt five subjects, and in any four of these, their marks must average fifty per cent for a pass. After one year in the sixth, they sit for University entrance. Those who are reckoned to be certain of a pass, are “ accredited ” about two weeks before the examination, and are thus exempted. Many, who are going on to University stay a second year in the sixth to take their Advanced Level, as this is tied up with University grants. Owing to the large open spaces, schools have excellent games facilities, including swimming pools in many cases, and there tends to be more of an emphasis on games and practical subjects. Crusader classes are run in many schools during lunch hours, and they run numerous camps in the holidays which...”

“...Company with just a touch of their tradition filled language. The Hungarian bibliography was not quite in their field ol exchange, but, some paragraphs further down, yes, they would send their magazine The Beaver (Outfit 289) for one year to Hungary, and hoped that Toronto would enjoy the bibliography. Can’t you see the shock to an old time H.B.C. factor ? This librarian felt as though the H.B.C. had offered her personally a one hundred point Hudson’s Bay blanket, which they hadn’t. And how did Chefoo prepare this Gift and Exchange librarian for her little racket- I mean department ? By instilling, in my time, at least, at 8...”

“...December of that year we, the whole family, came to Canada. When school started in the new year, I found myself thrust into Grade V, and in spite of having missed the first term, I passed the year. Grade VI was uneventful. Please do not at this moment think that I am going to inflict on you a grade-by-grade resume of my school career. I am not. However, I did discover a practice here of advancing pupils faster if it is believed they can do the work. Thus I “skipped" Grade VII. Our elementary schools finish at the eighth grade. There are unlimited opportunities for higher education in Canada. One can enter a collegiate or academic high school, a technical high school w'here one can learn any trade from barbering to aeronautics, or a commercial high school where book-keeping, shorthand, etc., are taught. In cities smaller than Toronto, these three may all be found together in one composite school. I chose a collegiate where I pursued a regular academic course of study up to the fourth form...”

“...algebra, trigonometry, geometry, physics and chemistry, plus a language, usually French. A foreign language is necessary for entrance to every university course. Those who succeed in these subjects usually go into a mathematics, physics, science, or an engineering course at university. The final high school examination is set and marked by the provincial government department of education, and is comparable to the Oxford exams our predecessors took in Chefoo. These exams are in late June, but the results are not made public until mid-August, a horribly long wait for results that are to determine one’s future. Fortunately I obtained first class honours and was admitted to the honours modern languages and literature course, for which I had previously applied at the University of Toronto. This course is a four year one, in which one specializes in languages. There are also many three year general or pass courses, Toronto’s system in this being fairly similar, I believe, to Oxford and Cambridge...”

“...variety of things including dandelions and ship-halfpennies, tea was most welcome, and we were fortunate in being able to have it in such a delightful garden. If you had been with us, you would have heard such sentences, as “ Do you remember at Ruling we did . . .” or “ That last concert in the Boys’ School at Chefoo when the ‘ camel ’ opened the proceedings, was the best I ever saw.” Family prayers were led by Mr. Howard Joyce and then Dr. Bob Parry, whom it was a joy to see again, deepened our understanding of Psalm 16. It being a Chefoo gathering, we also sang, and as we joined in the 23rd Psalm we felt that goodness and mercy had indeed followed us and we were grateful to those at Chefoo who had taught us to love and trust in God. The reunion ended after we had seen some beautiful colour transparencies of the work done by Dr. Parry and his wife among leprosy patients in Africa, from where they have now returned on furlough. Many of us, after seeing these pictures, were moved to pray more...”

Margaret, Kathryn and Marion Howie. Toronto Reunion by Grace Seaman The Time: Monday, September 26th The Place: China House, Eglinton Avenue West, Toronto The Occasion: Chefoo Fall Reunion Add to this that the attendance was somewhat less than usual; the food superabundant, and the meeting most interesting, for a talk and a film on China added a good measure of mental spice. Mr. James D. Service, alderman for Ward 7, Toronto, gave a talk on his visit to China in 1958, and followed this with a film showing industrial and other activities seen during a visit to the cities of Peking, Shanghai, Nanking and Wuhan. He and four others made up a party which had been invited to the country by a legal group in China. Mr. Service spoke in some detail of visits paid to churches, and gave his impressions of Christian activities,...”

“...Bible Training Institute, Glasgow, where I am at present a student. As I draw near to the end of my first year here, I can only-say that the Lord has been very gracious to me and has taught me many new lessons concerning Himself and His Word. I hope eventually to apply to the C.I.M. Two old Chefusians, MARGARET YOUNG and BERNARD WELCH are here at the B.T.I. and I have met JIMMY YOUNG and GILBERT DUNACHIE who both live in Glasgow.” ROBERTSON SINTON writes: “The death of my father on July 31st is Chefoo news, for during the Evacuation year of 1927 he found himself teaching Latin, amongst other subjects in the Boys’ School. His recollections of this time were full of enjoyment though brushing up his own knowledge for the occasion was, he claimed, hard work ! JOHN and ISOBEL HURST {nee Sinton) arc still in Hongkong building the new hospital. Their eldest son is at school in Ramsgate. GENE JOHN {nee SINTON) copes with her family, doctor husband, and a Sunday afternoon class of Covenanters. BILL...”

“...some of our prospective children; some we are looking forward to having later; others .... Well, that’s life ! ’Bye for now and I hope you don’t have your Thanksgiving week-end completely spoiled by Chefoo news. (It was, and always is. Secy.) Why don’t you get short snappy articles from some of our Chefoo ‘ brains ’ ? My Day consists of . . .’ from such people as KENNETH TAYLOR, Canadian government something or other. (That is one way of describing the Canadian Deputy Minister of Finance, Secy.) VIVIAN GONDER, Canadian National railway; HUGH COULTHARD, T.B. specialist; DR. BOB GLOVER (now world-famous heart or brain surgeon); or HENRY LUCE. (Please, I have tried most of them. In fact all but two of those have done their stuff, and I’ll get after the other two. Secy.) It would show that Chefoo is on the map and might give ideas and a spurt to the lesser brains, or to those who have them and don’t use them. No answer necessary, but I guess there’ll be a night letter S.O.S. some time next year...”

“...of Wales College. They have recently built a house of their own on the outskirts of Charlottetown. Her mother, GRACE TAYLOR HARRIS, spent the summer with her. MRS. HARRIS still continues to teach generations of Chefusians and others at the Central Baptist Seminary in Toronto. JOSEPHINE COULTHARD writes: I visited Philadelphia this summer where I saw an old pal of my Prep School days, LILY ORR. I would not have known her if I had met her anywhere, but we soon got over that and went to town on Chefoo. We both got caught up on lots of you people. LILY has a responsible position with a firm of certified public accountants and also plays the organ at Dr. Barnhouse’s church, Presbyterian. On Saturday afternoon there was a Chinese wedding in this church, which reminded me of the last one 1 was at at the little Chinese chapel on the compound, with Mr. Faers officiating. What a difference fifty years can make.” 1 Do you really mean fifty ?) HELEN WINDSOR DANCY has moved to London with her husband...”

“...Girls Crusader Snow Camp where MARGARET HOWIE was a camper. During the May holidays Grace passed through Auckland on her return to school after staying with IRENE SMITH (nee RICHARDSON) and her sister MARJORIE WEBSTER whose husbands are both teachers. IAN HAMILTON, son of Mr. & Mrs. Sinclair Hamilton of the C.I.M., is now in England studying at the Royal College of Surgeons in London. DORIS HOGARTH (nee ANDERSON), writing from the “ Chefoo School ” in Malaya tells us about the new school. The opening date had to be postponed for several reasons; one was the hold-up of building materials etc., and then the torrential rains which caused a number of landslides in the district. One such was on the new property causing damage to the grounds and necessitating the building of a 125 ft. wall in a semi-circle to prevent further slips. She says: “ Yes ! our new school is almost completed and we plan to commence lessons on Sept. 19th. The first batch of children are due to arrive on Friday, the 16th...”
