supported will slowly but surely help to make industrious, virtuous and honor able citizens who will one day stand by our town, and bring credit to its name, This Institution lays the foun- daJlon for industrial education, puts great emphasis upon moral culture and character building, and trains directly towards honorable citizenship. 1t rec ogni2es that if it would increase the prosperity of our city, if we would have honest, law abiding, patriotic citizens we must educate the young to respect labor to recognize and respect the rights and property of others and to acquire habits of industry.
 It is desired by the management that two or more schools be established in addition to the one We now have. I have sometimes thought if Miss King put her kindergarten on wheels and ex- hibit her work in different sections of the city so that our good people could witness the work done there would be no doubt about obtaining all the funds required. ..
 MISS LIVERMORE'S REPORT.
 You have listened to our treasurer's report of money received from associa- tion fees, from the contributions of friends in sympathy with our work, though not members of the association, and from donations"
 These donations have come from va rious sources, and for all we would like to make public acknowledgement.
 The old adage that "A penny saved is q penny earned' is true in our case as in all others, and therefore our hearty thanks are first of all due to our good friends of the Church of the Redeemer, who have saved us such host of pen nies by cordially opening the doors of Welcome hall to us from the beginning of our work.
 Since our last annual meeting we have been remembered by the Sunday schools of various churches.
 From the United church Sunday school we received last November $25.
 From Welcome, hall Sunday school Omission to mission), $11,4S.
 From the infant class of Trinity M. E. church, $2.41.
 Center church Sunday school gave us generous Christmas offering, $S4,15
 Bethany mission gave us $15 and Eng lish Hall, toward the milk fund, to which so many private individuals have gladly contributed, s.
 And from a Sunday school in Orange, $S.50
 The primary class of Dwight Place church have sent money, flowers and toys.
 Then there have come to us many so- called little gifts but if the donors could see the pleasure they have given to the children, or the help they have been to the workers, according to the nature of the gift, they would realiz , that nothing is little" that helps. As, for instance, the box of assorted cakes for the childrens excursions from the New York Bicuit company Were ever cakes sweeter?
 For various useful articles that must have been bought if not contributed we have to thank the following firms: J. W. Everitt, Cox & Lyon, Warren A. Spaulding, Henry F. Peck, c. F. Beck ley, Elm City Manufacturing company, Bishops Box and Paste company, and F. M. Brown & Co.
 Kings Daughters and Daughters of the King and Band of Hope, they have paid for attendants services have hem med towels, made aprons, bought init tens, dressed dolls, etc.
 School children have helped
 Fruit from the Welch kindergarten enriched the Oak street Thanksgiving feast. Private kindergartens have help ed with warm clothing, books, toys, dolls, very dear to the hearts of the lit tie givers. They would be rewarded if they could see how lovingly the dolls are tended by their new owners.
 And then comes list of many kind friends who have sent grapes, pears. apples, oranges, flowers. Do you know how those children love flowers, toys, pictures, books, clothing, shoes, ub- bers, cards, and last, but by no means least, visits?
 A new year is before us ar q we shall need new list. Visit the kindergarten and your heart will prompt the rest.
 MRS. COGSWELL'S REPORT.
 It would be a good thing if the mem- bers of the E. c. K. A. should consider themselves visiting committee-good for the kindergarten and good for the members.
 Our committee take pleasure in our visits and get good from them. The ingenuity and patience of the teachers give us renewed courage for our own individual work.
 Each month We have seen improve ment in the children. This last month the clean faces of the children and reasonably clean clothing were the first noticeable thing, and attentive faces and good behavior next
 You will remember at your last an- nual meeting we discussed the incor rigible Charles. There are no Charities of that kind there now, but attentive. well behaved children. Miss King said there is little need to discipline and the attendance is good. Last year we were troubled because the Jewish chil dren did not come. Last Thursday I counted twenty Jewish names on Miss Kings register.
 We found in the first year that for some cause the children were stupid and inactive and wondered and worked at 1t. At last Miss Remington sug- gested that a lack of breakfast or proper breakfast-it might be coffee- was not sharpening the children's wits:
