The committee have cndeavored TO
heed the resolution passed ny the meet
ing last year, directing them to reduce
the running expenses of the district to
the lowest point consistent with the sue
cessful operation of the schools. A ma
tcrial reduction has been made, and if
no unforeseen repairs are called for, il
is probable that by economy even a
lower figure may the coming year be
reached.
But, as expressed in a former report,
we believe it TO be false economy to
