get this additional plant on the

beautifying the school grounds,
a promise having been received
to allocate $175 to the work and
to donate trees and shrubs from
government nurseries, This ison
condition that the school grounds

be maintained in an improved)

condition in future, towards the
cost of which the government will
pay half. A number of books
for the school library had been
promised and it was hoped to
organize a really good library.
Various other matters of de-
tail were discussed and Rev. J..

ing on ‘‘The Unfolding of Life,”’

with the psychological aspect of
