Annual report . he School building, which was in adilapidated condition, put on a new appearance,—the owner con-senting to the needful repairs. Through the generous kindnessof friends of the Superintendent, a dormer window was putinto a dark store room, converting it into a pleasant chamber forthe janitress. This gave the much needed additional room to thePrinting and Drawing departments.

Useful contributions have been received from Mrs. JamesGuild, Mrs. Da
