manner, as you will see by referring to the secretary's report
hereto attached, which gives the amount of money received and
from what sources and the amount expended and for what purposes,
and the amount in the treasury.
- For the past year we have followed the line
of procedure marked out at the organization of the library

its operating expenses, and by expending as far as possible the
money given us in the purchase of books. How we have succeeded
the librarian's report hereto attached and made a part of this

- In all of our efforts to build a library
up to, and maintain it at, a high standard we have been seconded
- and assisted by the librarian, Miss BELL,
whose zeal and efficiency cannot be too highly praised.
