The expenses of our schools have LARGELY

ami II we would keep pace with our neigh
eor5 they will inevitably continue to increase
TO- some years 10 come. fer The simple reason
that the schools cannoG stand still, but must
have new and improved appliances in order
that the standard of excellence may not be
lowered. l. i1Cst be evident that
in order to keep the schools up to the stand
ard OF excellence already attained, and to
prevent any retrograde movement, more
money will be needed from J ear to year for
some time TO come. So | must repeat what
was said in my last annual report that the
Smount of money furnished, although large

additional school furniture as would be ne d.

In the matter OF buildings and school fur

The schoo funds have, as usual, been ad-
ministered with skill, and made to accom-

most never have seen failure in the field
of Christian nurture for which it is not easy
to account. There has been fatal neglect
somewhere: some one directly responsible
has done wrong, or has failed to do right;
the child goes astray; the church is blamed,
and the failure is cha, ged to God. We
