Toe number of school pupils is bound to in- crease for another year — probably the enrolment will be over 70. Mr. Kingsley suggests a new six -year High school build- ing. A building ten years from now will not help your boys and girls of today. Time will not wait nor will it turn back. The crying need is do something gaow. The Music and Drawing courses still remain in good hands. Can any one, who attends the Christmas exercises of our schools, but feel that excellent instruction is given in music in the schools? Some of the things desirable in tlue near future and in which all citizens should be interested are —motor vehicle transportation; one more teacher for regular High school work; a special teacher of Practical Arts who shall give near- ly all his time to the work; the establishment of a Home, Economics department; the extension of all Practical Arts courses into the High school; the proper housing of the hunch business; an extension of the Business course; a County Agricultural school for Orleans boys who wish such training; and last, but that of the fret importance, and before much of the foregoing can be put into operation, a new building or an addition to the present one. The Principal's report follows of interest concerni , in which you will find mile], ng the work and the High school corps of teachers. The Usual reports and statistics and other data also follow.

Standard reference books are being gradually acquired and subscriptions to several good peri- odicals serve to arouse interest . in present day affairs. The athletic activities of the school are confined chiefly to base ball in the Spring term. The substantial recognition given to this sport last year by the-school committee gave the game new importance in the minds of the players and was beneficial both from a financial and from a moral standpoint. The continued success of the school lunch system and its 'very liberal patronage by pupils of all the grades have now made this department an almost indispensable feature of our school system. The general increase in cost of all supplies has made it necessary this fall to raise the prices charged for some articles. The surplus of last winter was reduced to about $3.00 in June. At present there is a balance of ap- proximately $20.00 on the right side of the ledger. The sales for the fall term have averaged $55.00 per week. tion and in September more thalo e six will e fro by ra ua grammar schools. the This will raise the membership next fall to well above 70 and will serve to still further emphasize the present need of better and larger accommodations. To keep abreast of the times, to preserve the standing and efficiency of the school and, most important of all, to meet the needs of the Pupils, provision should be made whereby the recolwnenda- be P made by Mr alingsley in last. year's school report may be put into Practical operation.
