“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2010 Page 4 Robert McMullan (day student, 1930-1940), Toronto The Chefoo Magazine gets better and better. I was fascinated by the article about the Chinese Labour Corps. Growing up in Chefoo we used to say that the piles sticking out at low tide opposite St Andrew's Church and the Chefoo Club were from a pier for loading coolies for France. I don't think this was correct. Most of the 100,000 Chinese labourers were loaded at British Weihaiwei, and also at Tsingtao. Cornabe Eckfords were the agents in Tsingtao handling the operation, and in the early 1930s Cornabe Eckfords became McMullan (Agencies). It was fortunate that half the coolies' pay was kept back for family because it was said that on payday they would gamble till all their money was gone.

I see a seven year old between the cornstalks, looking...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2010 Page 5 NEWS Grace (Preedy) Barnes, (Shanghai & Kuling), Oregon, USA I was born in Chefoo, China in 1938, grew up in five homelands, a child of missions, boarding schools, war, moving and separation. I attended the Chefoo School at Shanghai and Kuling. Our family finally settled in California, where I completed high school at Culter Academy in So. California followed by attendance and graduation from Wheaton College in Illinois in 1959. My BA degree was in Christian Education and I developed a love for children and youth. After three years of teaching third and fourth grades, I joined the Young Life organization for close to twenty years in California, Illinois and Brazil. In 1974 I married Douglas F. Barnes, a teacher and businessman, also inheriting two step-kids, Jennifer and Eric. I spent twenty-five years (1981-2006) as professor of leadership studies and program director for an international master's degree program in leadership on campus and worldwide for...”

Dear Mr. Grant. Thank you for your interest of long-ago Chefoo student, Thomas Compton Pakenham, father of my husband, Edward Michael Pakenham. Compton (as he preferred to be known) was born on May 11, 1893 in Kobe, Japan ). He spoke Japanese before he spoke English. Compton had two younger sisters (Hermione Bayne, born 1896 and Daphne Eliot Arminta, born 1901) and one younger brother (Hercules Ivo, born 1897). You kindly gave his Chefoo attendance dates as 1904-1909. I have been unable to trace his whereabouts from the end of 1909 to 1913. He debarked at Yokahama Dec. 10, 1913 and arrived at Honolulu, HI, USA on Dec. 19, 1913. Presumably, he made his way from there to London...”

“...centennial, author Janie Hampton discovered in a Girl Guide museum near Buckingham Palace, London, a Chefoo School Brownie log book from the Chefoo and Weihsien internment camps. Fascinated by accounts of Girl Guides and Brownies operating in a Japanese internment camp, she used the Weihsien Internet site to track me down. With help from the Internet, many of you Chefoo Brownies and Girl Guides flooded Ms. Hampton with memories she has used in her book and in her talks around the UK. She passed the story on to the BBC. Janie Hampton's book, How the Girl Guides Won the War - including a chapter about Chefoo Brownies and Girl Guides in Chefoo and Weihsien - is now available from Amazon in the UK and on Amazon USA on Kindle format.

ISBN 978 1 85424 970 8 As the Japanese advanced through China in 1942, many westerners were interned. In their prisoner of war camp the dying Olympic sprinter, Eric Liddell, gave young Steve Metcalf his running shoes, A few excerpts from In Japan the Crickets Cry By permission from the publisher and challenged him to pray for the Japanese. But how could he? Steve suffered under the brutal regime of his Japanese guards. For him and his classmates at Chefoo school in China—mainly the children of missionaries—resentment of the Japanese was a way of life. Could he possibly pray for them? Painfully, reluctantly, he found that he could, and his prayers sank deep. At the end of the war the OMF, a mission agency, was seeking young men willing to go to Japan...”

Even my first trip to a dentist did not diminish my enthusiasm for exploration. We finally reached Chefoo on a small coastal steamer. The boat sailed past Lighthouse Island into the sheltered waters of the Bluff and threaded a route among the American and British naval vessels stationed in the bay. The school was pointed out to me—a distinctive set of five hefty European buildings standing appropriately erect on the fringe of First Beach. It was an excellent example (as colonial attitudes at the time would have it) of Western civilization, against the backdrop of a range of low Chinese hills. Chefoo was home to a thousand foreigners, (Concluded on page 8)...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2010 Page 11 Emergency Preparatory School' Themes from Kiating, Kalimpong, & Shanghai From China's Millions (China Inland Mission magazine), compiled by Anne Hazelton February 1 947 Down on the Szechwan plain, within thirty-five miles of Mount Omei, one of China's noted mountains, lies the city of Kiating, or Loshan as it is now called. In October 1941, Kiating was to see a new thing, as foreign children began to gather there: British, American, Swedish-American and Danish. There were only eight the first few months, but gradually more came from all of China that was free, until there was a fine group of missionaries' children to form the Emergency Preparatory School. Chefoo schools, long the "heart" of the Mission, were still operating in that year that was to close with the world at war, but even so it was impossible for young children to travel through the hazards to be faced crossing from Free China in the West, to Chefoo in Occupied China. So Kiating, chosen because...”

“...graciously opened the way before us: Mr. Ament was able to charter the whole second-class accommodation on the Jardine, Matheson Company's 7,800-ton steamer, Katsang. The gates had opened. There were many contributing factors to show that this was the Lord's doing, and one in particular: the man in charge of Jardine's had been in charge of the company at Tsingtao when that port fell to the Japanese. He had been interned for a time, had many friends in the Weihsien camp, and, of course, knew the Chefoo Schools. Now at a time of need he was there in Calcutta, with the same company. He was most friendly and helpful throughout, and really pushed hard to get the entire party on the Katsang. We praised the Lord for His provision— truly remarkable when we stopped to think that a group of about forty-five altogether were given passage, when there were so many others waiting. From the mountain area of Kalimpong, it was necessary to travel some thirty-five miles on mountain roads by truck and taxis, down...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2010 Page 13 (3) Special Favor By Doris M. Williams Early in the year, when Chefoo was still closed to the Mission's use, the thought of establishing the school temporarily at Tsingtao was considered. But the door suddenly closed, chiefly through political disturbances. Other locations were considered—and rejected, as no liberty for the move was given. Finally the two topmost floors of the Administration Building in Shanghai were made available. Not the least of the problems confronting those responsible for the children of a boarding school is the clothing guestion. Children who have been away from their parents, sometimes for two and three years, must have wardrobes replenished at school, and there are always adjustments, mending, alterations, and washing to be cared for. Miss Doris Williams has carried on this task faithfully: at Kiating, Kalimpong, and now in Shanghai. Her account draws open the curtain on some of the normally hidden ways in which the Lord undertakes...”

Part of the time in India we did not have easy access to proper medical treatment, but the Lord met every need. The rest of the time either Dr. Harris or Dr. Watson, of our Mission, were in Kalimpong and relieved me of much of the burden of responsibility. Now we are under Dr. Adolph's care. Each morning the children line up for inspection, which means a check-up regarding the state of their dormitories and clothes. Then they pass in a line to report any illness and to receive any needed treatment. We hear a good deal about weary queues at home, but this line is a happy, wiggling one, with each member delighted to qualify in any way for a bit of special attention! Regarding medicine, the children have developed a psychology of their own which is very soon transmitted to any newcomer. Normally the life of each one follows a very definite routine—he rises in the morning, eats, studies...”

This year we are including her chapter relating the experience of this school after they had been evacuated from China to India, to avoid the feared arrival of the Japanese forces in Chongging and Chengdu. We do so with the kind permission of Faith, and her publisher, The Banner of Truth Trust. (www.banneroftruth.co.uk). If you have not already purchased Faith's excellent book, an important part of our Chefoo heritage, you are encouraged to do so.

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2010 Page 16 Ouch!!! Where was the Children's Aid Society when they were needed? circumstances brought a pressure on the staff which often left them touchy and nervous. A strict regime of discipline was therefore imposed on the children. In war conditions it was difficult to obtain new clothes and shoes for growing youngsters, so the necessity of taking extra care was strongly emphasized. There were daily inspections of both clothes and footwear and regular corporal punishment was administered for any perceived carelessness. Before long an Indian seamstress was engaged to make new clothes for us and soon the boys had the appearance of a small army of soldiers each clad in khaki jackets and matching shorts. All eighteen girls were given dresses of similar design with slight variations in style, made of blue checked material. Harder to replace than dresses and shorts were our shoes and these needed to be preserved for as long as possible so that outgrown footwear could...”

We were very upset and shouted for it to stop. We could hear it from the door as this took place in a little room leading off the dormitory where you had to lean over a trunk while they administered the punishment.' The girl in this case was also badly bruised in consequence. This inequitable treatment turned my mind to the Saviour about whom I had been taught from earliest days. He too had been unjustly treated, and although I knew that such comparisons were invalid for i he had never sinned, much of my father's love of adventure in my blood, I often discovered myself on a collision with the matron. An irresistible urge to clamber up rocks, climb trees or wade across mountain streams inevitably led to trouble. Because...”

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 I began to learn passages of Scripture by heart, and again it was the account of the sufferings and death of Christ that attracted me. I soon mastered much of Matthew 27, and a few passages from the Psalms. Unfortunately, side by side with such desires went other less attractive characteristics as I continued to steal and lie, usually in an attempt to avoid the punishments that I feared might be coming. Once I crept into the matron's workroom and cut a length of new elastic in order to replace some I had broken—a desperate though unsuccessful ploy to stay clear of trouble—and one that brought its own just reprisals. If it were discovered that children had lied about some misdemeanor we would be required to rinse our mouths out with salt water, or sometimes soap and water, to 'cleanse' them from the contamination...”

“...The Chefoo Magazine, 2010 Page 19 First the school left its mountain retreat in Kalimpong and returned to Calcutta. Once again the blistering heat affected staff and children alike, leaving all enervated and often bad tempered. A small hotel was found to accommodate the school until transport to Shanghai could be arranged. In vain, the staff struggled to provide some form of normality by sitting the children side by side on the beds and attempting to conduct lessons as usual. But when young and old developed prickly heat rashes, the effort was abandoned. The return journey was to be by sea: the boys were taken first, accompanied by their master. As they traveled Christopher once more drew down the wrath of the teacher upon himself for some act of obedience. The punishment was a harsh one: his most prized possession—a small penknife, was thrown overboard. Had more appropriate appointments been made to fill the position of school caretaker and his wife, the children would have looked back...”

Its 1200 meter elevation ensures a pleasant climate round the year so it isn't a problem even if you've set your date with this charming little town in the dead of winter. Dr. Graham's Homes Established in 1900, by Rev. Dr. John Anderson Graham, to house and educate inter-racial offspring of British tea planters and local women who were disallowed admission into regular schools by the society then, it is now a public school open to all. Of interest are the original buildings and chapel. The School celebrated its centenary in 2000. Though I can't currently substantiate this, I recall at one time in my random readings, discovering that the word "posh" was actually an acronym that was coined during the early days of British imperialism. As well-to-do...”
