The society which met rs above
stated consists uf .inbre than one
hundred ltiethbefs, WHO may fe found
from st. Vincent to Alexandria, from
st. Paul to Valley City. Thenttend.
lnce at the meeting was not as large
rs the number Of members would
warrant, but it was fully eqaal to
that OF preceding years.
At 1O;45 Wednesday, morning the
society anu students gathered in the
academy chapel and Vice President
Rev. James Moody Of st. Hilaire, de.
livered the sermon for the occasion.
President 10. Cavallin afterwards
called the meeting to order in prin,
cipaPs office and thereupon read his
annual report. The report which
wonld be tou long to publish in full
began by setting forth the necessity
of the spirit Of Christianity pervad.
ing the society and its servants in
order that the. society may be- sue
cessful in its undertaking. After
mentioning the teachers who had
been engaged by the society as per.
manent instructors, the report con.
tinued by presenting a view Of the
financial condition of the institution
While not claiming that the financial
outlook wasdangerous, the president
considered that it was u matter oI
much solicitude and it required the
utmost cautiousness. Another diffl.
Guilty which he considered ought to
be taken into consideration at this
meeting was that our Norwegian
brethren were about to establish an
educational institution in the Red
River Valley and since a large per
centage of the students OF Hope
Academy were Norwegians, they
would naturally be influenced to at
tend that institution in preference to
the Hope Academy. Ii the society
would not take this matter into due
consideration in making it's decisions,
bitter would be it's experience in the
future. In conclusion the president
recommends, first, wipe out the
school debt as soon as possible. Sec
Ond engagea financial manager who
can devote his time to the soliciting
OF funds for the institution. Third,
do not increase the current expenses,
since they already exceed the annual
income.
This report was left to commit
tee, and upon the motion of this com
mittee the following resolutions were
passed:
Resolved, That the society tenders
it's thanks to the president for the
kindly advice which his report con-
tains, and though tho society cannot
consider the condition of the instiru-
tion as critical as the presidents re-
port would makeit, the society would
however, fellow the presidents in
structiOns us far as these may be
considered practicable.
Resolved, That the society in max
ing its decision in the interests OF
this institution cannot possibly take
into consideration the establishment

Resolved, That financial mana
