Psalm and Holy, Holy, Holy, formed
the devotional exercises.
The officers of the previous year
were all re-elected with a few
changes here and there. After the or

thought and an inspiration in the
work for the year, and what is ex
pected of them as teachers in the
community in which they are placed.
The teachers are placed in groups,

On the whole the meeting was very
inspiring and we have a very bright
odtlook in the future for better
training of our boys and girls, if one

We have several new teachers and
we bid them welcome and may their
stay be long and useful.
