IV.—Review of General Position.
I have pleasure in stating, in conclusion, that the work continues
to develop and improve; that the result of past effort by all concerned
becomes increasingly evident as time progresses; and that further
extension in the future is assured by the continued enthusiasm,
goodwill, and loyal co-operation of all connected with this branch of
local educational activity.
