2. The Estimates provided $68,694 for 1905, but of this only $60,535 were spent. The amount of School Fees was $31,387 covering nearly 52 per cent. of the total Expendi. ture. There was an increase in Fees of $2,339, of which $1,660 are directly due to the extra half-dollar a month charged to each scholar in the Upper School. The balance $679 is assignable to the improved attendance mentioned above.
