ATTENDANCE.
Enrolment during 1914 was 745. The average daily, attendance was 488, and was regular. The deviation from the mean was from 451 to 524. This was mostly due to
leave granted for sickness and family affairs. The notice of parents and guardians should be drawn to the fact that matters regarding family affairs shoukt be settled as far as possible during the winter, spring or summer vacations. Absence on leave for long periods during the course of the term naturally m'litates against slicess.
FINANCE.
The rerome from school fees was $23,005, and from refunds $163.75, making a total
$28,229.75.

Full and Half-free Scholars and Student Interpreters involve a less to revente of $2,615. For 1914 the cost per number on rol is $74.79 and per average attendance 9113.83 The cause of the increase in cost

The major portion of our staff was also engaged in censor duty during the summer vacation. This involved practically the continuous work of one year for those concerned. The reduction in numbers in alse accounted for by the general unrest that has
lately prevailed. I do not think we are the only educational establishment which has suffered in this respect. It is noteworthy that during the year only one student at on account of poverty, and only one had to

Before leaving this section I would say that the greatest strain lies in the multipli city of subjects. The adoption of a full course and commercial course lead to more differentiation in the subjects taken. Algeben as a clasa subject in commercial classes miglit be omitted to alow more time for purely commercial subjects for those students who have the intention to become busincas men.
