 and expenses. l submit the follow ing report In making this report 1 have not tried to audit the books to see if any were correct.
 It will be noticed that the receipts and expenses of the district aggre- gate over $15,000.00 per annum. The secretary offered to submit to me all the vouchers, but 1 have not tried to check them. 1 have understood that the object of my report is to give to the public some idea of the manage ment of the schools and the expenses of the district.
 The work of auditing the books and checking them is too great for me too undertake. 1 did check the a. mounts collected for tuition and on the subscriptions and found the tui- tion account correct to within less than one dollar. That is, 1 found the amount deposited in the bank on this account and the account shown by the books to correspond as indi- cated. There was a small discrepan- cy in the private subscription account and this is accounted for by the fact that there were few small pay ments, usually less than one dollar that are made in cash, and not by checks on the bank. The amount was so small that I did not check them, for if there is an error it will be too small to materialize.
