“...C.S.A. MAGAZINE A CHEFOO HEADMASTER LOOKS BACK MY MEMORIES OF CHEFOO, NORTH CHINA by Rev. P. A. Bruce are delighted to have this article from Mr. Bruce bringing to some a breath of the past, reminding us of our heritage and of a day and place which is now no more but whose spirit still lives on. Mr. Bruce was Headmaster of the Boys' School from September 1930, and when “ Co-Ed" started in 1935 he became Principal of the joint schools, retiring after the end of Internment in September 1946. We hear that in January next Mr. and Mrs. Bruce hope to celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary (D.V.). Our warmest congratulations and prayerful good wishes go to them on this occasion. T WOULD like to base my story upon Scripture and have chosen Joel 2 : 28, quoted in Acts 2:17. “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh . . . your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions.” I wonder if the visions of the young men are not inspired by the recording of the dreams of the old men...”

“...Japanese hands. We got through all right except for the sudden death of Brian Thompson in 1944, which brought great sorrow to the whole camp. So I end my story of Chefoo as I knew it. I know that the present-day children are not able to remain in the East due to the different climatic conditions, but I am sure that the spirit of the schools is still of the same high standard. May all the glory and joy be the Lord’s from whom it all comes. I hope you sing our Chefoo anthem: “ Lord of all power and might, Who art the Author and Giver of all good things. FKOM THE OLD CHEFUSIANS TO THE NEW TT is pleasing to hear of the building extensions in the branches of the Chefoo Schools in the Far East. Inspired by the generosity of the North American branch, the Committee of the Great Britain branch wondered if any members would like to contribute towards a fund to provide special extras for the children. If so, please send your gifts to: Mr. David Parry, 107 Southdown Avenue, London, W.7; or include a gift...”

“...on to say what they were like, out-going, poised, charming kids, usually in the highest positions in their class at school, and being so well-travelled and widely educated, they had much to contribute to their schools that the average American knows nothing of. I mentioned the girl who was born in Burma, raised in Thailand, educated to fourth grade in Malaya, then had a year of schooling in Canada, and finally joined our family here, only to find herself in the accelerated class among those of her own age ! Here she swims, rides horse-back, reads by the hour, and is one of the most popular in her class. ... “ Warped ? ” Well, hardly ! I went on. Had she heard of Time magazine, or Life, or Fortune ? “ Of course. Well, the editor and owner was a missionary kid from one of our schools in China ! Was he warped ? The leading T.B. specialist in an Eastern Canadian sanatorium was likewise a missionary child. The professor, head of one of Columbia University’s departments, N.Y., with worldwide renown...”

“... and the conversation with the lady at the desk, my mind travelled to those missionary parents. . . . They had left houses, and parents, and homes, and loved ones, and financially secure positions and children for Christ’s sake. Our God is far too great to let their children be warped, when they had left all for the sake of His Son ! THE NEW SCHOOL IN JAPAN by Isabel J. Taylor The writer of this article must be almost unique in the long and honourable association she has had with the Chefoo Schools. Educated in North China herself she gained her B.A. degree at Toronto University, returning to China in the Autumn of 1931. Soon after she was appointed to the Staff of her old school where she taught Latin and English, eventually sharing in the experiences of Internment. When the School was located in Ruling after the War, Miss Taylor was there. Since the exit from China of all missionaries, she has been in charge of the children in the school in Japan. Our good wishes go to Miss Taylor, Staff...”

“...be forgotten a bit.” {This article is circulated by the Central Council of Information) A SIXTH FORM EXPERIMENT ' I 'HE need for a new philosophy of education for sixth forms has emerged in Britain from the pressures created by a steady rise in the number of senior pupils, and by their earlier maturing. In preparation for college or university, more and more young people stay on at school up to ages which make it no longer relevant to treat them merely as “ older children ”. All over Britain, schools are trying to come to terms with this problem, and to evolve sixth forms that will produce lively and intelligent young adults, and be an effective bridge between school and university or college. After years of schooltime discipline, too many college students still wilt before the university challenge to their self-reliance. As one experiment towards the solution of this problem, Britain’s Ministry of Education has decided to build two prototype “ sixth form units ” that will help to create...”

“...sixth form population—already at the 280 mark—has made necessary. Lectures will be given to large numbers of sixth formers who will later split into small groups, for discussion in the division rooms, or practical work in the laboratories. The kitchens that serve the communal dining-room will be available for use by the girls but will also have their own staff. The common rooms and coffee bar will be the centre of informal life. Miss Lack intends to open the unit to sixth formers from other schools in the area and to keep it open until g p.m. “ The evening sessions will give a new dimension to our work,” she said. “ So often in a school day, discussion is cut short by time. Often a lesson or a television programme will stimulate the girls, but the discussion can only be brief. The evenings will give us time to talk. There will be a television set in the unit so that the girls can watch educational programmes that perhaps the family would not want to share, or they can read in the library...”

“...CHANGE IN NORTH AMERICAN EXECUTIVE THE North American branch has lost its treasurer, Averell Robinson. Pressure of private practice has made Averell, somewhat reluctantly, we feel, retire from the position he has so ably filled for over thirty years. During this time, as well as handling the routine funds, there has been special business such as the Reconstruction Fund started after the war, to do something for the new schools if re-established. This came to a substantial sum, and when it was clear that there were to be no new schools in China, it was turned over to the China Inland Mission. All that kind of thing entails considerable work and correspondence, more probably than anyone but Averell knows. During all this time too, Averell has been a most enthusiastic organizer of reunions, ordinary annual ones as well as special. And for the special ones he always has seemed to be able to provide something from the till. Personally I have always suspected a little dabbling in medieval alchemy...”

“...go to all parts of the world where there are new tribes still unreached by the Gospel. We have been asked to increase the facilities here to train 50 students by September. With their families this will mean housing for about 100 people. Please pray with us that the Lord will work this out according to His own perfect will. GRACE is on the staff of Young Life and lives in Palo Alto, California. Young Life is a movement raised up of God to work amongst teenagers in the high schools of America. They have clubs in schools, arrange retreats and have summer camps and the like. CAROL was married in August, 1962, and her name is now Mrs. R. L. Terjung.

“...former teacher of hers, who also lives in West Vancouver. This Miss MacGregor, who also belonged to a Shangai family, knew the China Inland Mission well, and remembered the Herbert Taylors, and many other C.I.M. people. Miss MacGregor’s sister, JESSIE, attended the Chefoo school for a short period in the early part of the century. Now MRS. CORNABY, she is a teacher in Queen Margaret School in Dundan on Vancouver Island. An interesting memory of Miss MacGregor’s concerned the closure of the Chefoo Schools in the year 1911 due to plague. The C.I.M. compound in Shangai could not accommodate all the pupils, and the MacGregors gave a home for several months to GLADYS EVANS, FAITH GRACIE, and KATIE GRAHAM.” News of the TORJESEN tribe from KARI TORJESEN MALCOLM: “ We are occupied in student evangelism in Davao City, Philippines. We shall be going on furlough next June, 1964, to the States, and in 1965 to Norway, and then we hope a quick trip to England to see old Chefoo pals. EDWARD TORJESEN is busy...”
