institute's Change of Name The school formerly known as the Tsingtao Institute has recently taken its permanent name, "American Academy," which latter seems more fitting to its purposes.
When permission was first asked last autumn to organize the school, the promoters were told by the Japanese Administration that it would take several months to get permission to start a regular school. The former, accordingly, wishing to start the school's activities immediately, took the alternative of organizing what was called an institute. This has grown so steadily that the government, after an inspection of its work and buildings, has now granted it the right to change its name to "American Academy," and has, in that act, given the institution the full scholastic standing of a grade and high school.
Students of the mechanical dra: ving class are now busy in a contest to decide which can submit the best monogram containing the initials of the new name. This will be used on school stationery, athletic suits, etc.
Plans for the summer camp are well advanced. It will be held near Tsingtao during the months of July and August. Several—boys, students of the school as well as outsiders, have already asked to attend the camp, and the camp leaders are now being selected. The latter will be boys' workers, physical directors, teachers, et from various parts of China.
