At any rate there is nothing in all this that should be permitted to weaken in the least the efforts of those who wish to see in the Chefoo schools a Memorial Hall" as an appropriate and lasting memorial of the old boys educated there who died for their country. To keep before the minds of generations of British boys and girls from all parts of China the high ideals for which their country fought and suffered, and which found expression in the brief lives of those to whose memory. the Memorial Hall" will stand, is surely rendering a patriotic service in which many can join.
