In the 1860s, following the Second Opium War, a new treaty port was designated to Weihsien. But that was soon found to be unsuitable because it was not accessible to shipping, so it was moved to Zhefu, where it became Chefoo to Westerners. Chefoo, as Gordon Martin wrote, was "an insignificant group of fishermen's dwellings." But Chefoo was...”

“...happy as CSA members to reunite with each other, and communicate with others using social media, fondly remembering past experiences, good and bad, not to mention their recollections of the physical settings of their schools in SE Asia. Yet I speculate that those who have favorable memories of their schools, their teachers and caregivers, their fellow-students, the OMF, have not been attracted to the CR movement, which they find too negative. On CR's Facebook site, I also note that some might not be joining in because they do not want to offend their parents. That is not something that CIM Chefusians ever had to be concerned about with respect to the CSA. So in assessing the differences between CIM and OMF Chefusians, it is important to see the distinctiveness of the Chefoo Schools Association, and the Chefoo Reconsidered movement. Both have clearly had their rightful place, but they have respectively served quite different purposes. Will OMF Chefusians eventually establish a more positive alumni...”

“...impact that it has had on my life. That, I think, has been done. Donald Gibson [Yantai] Victoria, British Columbia I found the last edition of the Chefoo Magazine quite fascinating, as usual, and commend you. That there was rebellion against the idea or concept of separating small children from their parents is very topical (in Canada) in light of the tremendous amount of coverage just now by CBC and other media of theTruth and Reconciliation Committee report on the (aboriginal) residential schools (described by the report, and independently by the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of Canada as "cultural genocide" - a blatant attempt to 'take the Indian out of Indian children). I personally was home schooled till I was ten. My two elder sisters brainwashed me into assuming I would have a good time at the Boys' School, and indeed I did. I did not discover until much later that they did not remember their Chefoo days with the same warm affection that I did, and do. Maybe the fact that I stayed...”

“...throw blame on them for what they do or do not tell or teach. They have their duty to perform, they know their task, and they know how to handle it with God's guidance. Our Mag is an Old Chefooites' paper and is the organ of our Association (not of the schools). Sir Galahad, as you are a gentleman, I charge you, "withdraw your accusation of the masters we all love and honour." They have done their bit and know their duty better than we. Response to G.W. Robertson, From Edward Cecil-Smith, Toronto, March 1927 Had G.W. Robertson read the July, 1926 (sic, March 1926) issue of Chefoo he would realise that he sent his cartel, not to Sir Galahad alone, but to the Canadian Publication Committee [of the North America Branch of the Chefoo Schools Association], Being a member of this committee and also holding strong opinions on the subject, I am answering for Sir G. The article - "15 June - Canada" was not written in an offhand or thoughtless manner. It was discussed before and criticised after...”

“...Chefoo Magazine, 2016 Page 9 The Chcffoo School at Yantai Louis Magrath King , (Chefoo School 1893 to 1896) A Chefusian who married a Tibetan woman of Nobility By Ian Grant Preamble This brief biographical essay about Chefusian Louis Magrath King is based on documents forwarded to me by Steve Upton in Vermont, USA. Steve is a lawyer by profession, but also an amateur historian with a particular interest in Western schools in China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I first met Steve in 2005 when my wife and I were attending the Kuling American School reunion in Connecticut. Steve was attending unofficially as an interested party. By meeting and talking with him we made a deal. Each year I send him a complimentary copy of the Chefoo Magazine and he forwards to me copies of documents he his unearthed in his research that have some connection to the Chefoo School. This eleven-year arrangement has proved beneficial to us both. The research that Steve Upton has unearthed regarding Louis...”

“...but in Europe, and in our school, it was mainly played by the boys. It is not a sissy game, as you got fellows hitting each other with hockey sticks. The game of cricket was interesting to learn because of the expression known all over the world, 'that's not cricket,' meaning 'that's not fair.' When an opponent made a good play the opponents would say: 'Jolly well done!" Old Rudyard Kipling language. The school itself ran from elementary through high school. It was segregated, with separate schools for boys and girls. Classes in my time were mixed in the sense that boys sat on one side of the room and girls sat on the other side, and that was called an integrated class. The conditions were such that if a boy was caught talking to a girl he was just razed to death, and fingers were pointed at him, unless it was his sister, in which case it was permitted. The day scholars, on the other hand, had far more freedom to talk and socialize with the girls, and the girls with the boys, because we...”

“...Chefoo Magazine, 2016 Page 26 The Chefree Scheel—the Pest China Tears The Cameron Highlands—the Early Years By William Goble After China, the China Inland Mission established a number of small Prep Schools on the Pacific Rim (see back cover of this magazine). Most of these were basically home schools, and often were only open for a few years. However, the largest, and most enduring was in Malaya (Malaysia in 1963), in the Cameron Highlands. Bill and his wife Grace were house parents there from 1960 to 1963. Bill is now a widower, living in South Africa with his daughter. This 'self-portrait' sketch was in one of his regular newsletters. Bill has been a member of the Chefoo Schools Association for many years. The China Inland Mission was in no uncertain hurry. Years of missionary experience in inland China since 1865 had it cautiously evolving into the Overseas Missionary Fellowship in South East Asia and Japan, later even further afield. We had completed our first term of five years service...”

“...majority, living as the people lived, in tension and such close tight domestic regimented In this serene paradise, the Mission also wisely established an ongoing Chefoo preparatory school for the children of missionaries serving in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaya, Thailand and Vietnam/Laos. We were invited to be house- parents in succession to Henry Guinness and his wife, a Scandinavian doctor, and Hector Hogarth and his wife Doris, she a second generation CIMer who well knew the China Chefoo girls' schools. Hector was a Baptist pastor, and they were returning to New Zealand for family reasons. We had twice already visited the Cameron Highlands Chefoo School as an engaged couple and in the following year while on wood housing. The nationwide operation was successful but the villages such a colourless ugly scenario. Of course we needed the highlands paradise of the Cameron Highlands for the local leaves of oil of healing and wine of encouragement. We rented a hilltop holiday home with a view into...”

On one occasion his frugality was shocked to see my wife and the servants serving ice cream with the cereal. At breakfast time! The children, so excited, were hard to control. The term ended that very morning and they were now away down the mountains in a taxis convey and on into school holidays, with their parents near and distant. Said my Grace to her Director, she strong in housemother control, "Mr. Butler, yesterday we celebrated term end with ice cream for our supper dessert. Our Tana Rata reliable grocer sent two helpings by mistake. The Chinese man said we must keep the over-supply as a gift." You could almost hear Rowland Butler relax. Concluded Grace, "I could not well keep all that ice cream from the children." The campus was soon exquisitely quiet. Teachers were also away on holiday or as travel...”

“...Canada, or the United States, we stayed at one of what we called the CIM Homes. We stayed in the CIM Home in Toronto for a full year, 1947-48. We stayed in several CIM Homes in China, in Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces— Anshun, Guiyang, Kunming. We also stayed at the CIM Homes in Vancouver, San Francisco, Shanghai, and, of course, in London at Newington Green. For the first fourteen years of my life, my only home was either the CIM Home in any one of several different countries, or the CIM's Chefoo Schools, whether in Sichuan, Kalimpong, or Kuling. In my mind Newington Green held the place of honor. It...”

“...the Green and how she was about to leave her family and friends, and all those activities that had defined most of her girlhood in that neighborhood. Once she left for China in 1929, she would not see Newington Green again until 1939, and then not again until 1951, after another twelve-year interval. Lilian Reeks and John Austin, now members of the CIM, serving in Sichuan Province, were married in Hong Kong in 1934. In time their three oldest boys (Stephen, Norman, Paul) attended the Chefoo Schools. In 1951 these three were in the first party of teachers and students evacuated from China. We walked down the Lushan Mountain to Jiujiang, traveled by train to Canton, and then walked across the Liberty Bridge into the British colony of Hong Kong. After a few days in Hong Kong, we were flown in a chartered BOAC plane on a five-day flight from Hong Kong to Croydon airport outside London, and from Croydon we were taken by bus to the CIM Home in Newington Green. We stayed for a few days at the...”

Theo and Rose Surbeck were on the Staff at the Baguio Campus in the Philippines. A short quiz showed us what a diverse group the Chefoo Schools Association represents with the organization going back to 1908 and representing students from the original Schools at Chefoo to other campuses in China and throughout South and East Asia. Present at the meeting were Steve and Anna Griffiths who were responsible as Personnel Directors of OMF Inti, for writing the letter of Apology, which was sent to as many former students of Chefoo Schools as were known. After an hour of sharing of our Chefoo experiences, Steve was asked to explain the situation surrounding the recent letter from Patrick Fung (General Director) concerning the sexual abuse by Selma Hanson who was on the staff of the Chefoo School in Baguio in the early 1970s. The Surbecks...”

“...CHEFOO SCHOOLS The Chefoo School was established in 1881 by the China Inland Mission at Chefoo (Yantai) in North East China to provide an education for the children of missionaries, and the business and diplomatic communities. The school operated at various locations in China until 1952, then left China to relocate in South East Asia (see column to the left on this page). The last Chefoo School, in Tana Rata, Malaysia, was closed in June 2001. THE CHEFOO SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION The Chefoo Schools Association was founded in 1908. Its purpose is to operate an association for all former scholars and members of the staff of the Chefoo Schools; to sustain interest amongst its members in matters concerning the Schools and in one another; to afford means whereby its members are kept in touch with one another; and to promote friendly relationships between all persons in any way connected with the Schools. MEMBERSHIP OF THE ASSOCIATION All former scholars and members of staff of the Schools, and Homeland...”
