A year OF progress scarcely paralleled
in the AZ years of the schools history
was reviewed in the annual report which
: Prin. 0. X. Hollister read before the
board OF trustees of Goddard seminary at
its annual meeting, which opened at the
school this forenoon at l030 o'clock. Al
belt much OF progress lies Immediately
in the past, the principal declares that
the near future holds out splendid oppor-
tunities for the seminary and he goes on
to describe plan for enlarging material
lly the present accommodations for stu
dents. With the near approach of God
ldard's 50th anniversary, which occurs in
1919, in mind, the head of the school sug-
lgests in his report that u dormitory for
lgirl students, not to exceed $4,000 in
Ieost, be erected in anticipation of a CON
ltinued heavy demand for accommodations
at the school. Goddard has reached its
high water mark in point of attendance,
the report says, for the palpable reason
that II is taxed to capacity already and
can no longer hope to make the most OF
its opportunities unless the school plant
| is enlarged. In the course OF his report,
the principal mentions the gift of $500 by
the Barclay family OF this city for equip
ment in the sewing room.
There was representative gathering
of the trustees when the meeting was
called TO order and more were expected
this afternoon.
Prin. HOLSTERS report is given yerba-
tim as follows: ITO the honorable board
lof trustees, Gentlemen; The present CON
dition of the school should be very pleas
ing TO you. We have opened this year
with the largest registration in the his
tory OF the institution. New students

regular courses has passed the 200 mark
% more than last year Every inch of
available space for students use is occu-
pied. The school is as large as il can be
with its present accommodations.
you have come to the point where YOU
must decide in regard to the policy of
the school in the future. There are two
courses opened to you. One is that Of
satisfaction with school of the present
size, of limiting the number and giving
ont 20 the public that Goddard has
reached its height The other is to meet
ing in the immediate future.
"As take up my twenty-sixth year OF
service in this school, am filed with
the deep conviction that the latter course
is the one 10 follow and hope that you
will agree with me. This course means
FIRST Of all, more room for the students.

zee in the near future. A girls dormitory

lt least 80 girls. The main building
would be given over wholly 10 boys, with

Memorial wholly 10 the girls who want
