This wasraised by the usual means ofdues, entertainments, donations, andmcnthly payments of fiftty cents tcone dollar from our merchants. Wehave spent $837.47 to the best ad-vantages for our children's comfortand added much to their assistancein perfecting their studies, ?y pro-viding dictionaries, naps, globes aneour last work was installing a bolobgy laboratory. Our next work willbe to put in one for chemistry illus-tration, enabling our 'high schoo;granlutes to do all work, thus en-titling them to a certificate reeog-nized by any college.

We have made the building morecow fortable with petitions fixingwindow lights, keeping stoves inorder and until this year have fur-nished the janitor, but gave that up,finding we needed the laboratoriesmore essentihl. We closed ourschool list year with a grand picnicto the lake shore, treating the ehilEd4-ren to a lovely ride, furnishing lunchand music cn grounds. These littleattentions give them a closer ender-standing of the League--they knowwho their friends are.

To tell of our moral assistance, Imust go back to our beginning, forou'r first work was to petition thetown for an appropriation of $1500to keep the school open the last twomonths of the term-the board'smoney gave out at the 7th moutlhwe attended the council in a body-
