The following constituted the Board of Managers for the year 1914: Messrs. A. McDonald (Chairman), Danskin, Ritchie, Clark, and Turner. Three meetings, at each of which there was a full attendance, were held during the year. The Managers were prepared to carry on classes in the following subjects : Typewriting, shorthand, cookery, dressmaking, carpentry, and agricultural chemistry. Excellent teachers were secured for each subject, and the advantages of the instruction were clearly placed before the public by advertisements in the local Press, by circular, and by personal canvass. The number of students who responded to the efforts of the Managers was, however, so small that no course was left but to allow the classes to lapse for the winter of 1914.

The class for woolclassing was very successful, and the thanks of the Managers are due to Mr. Boyd for the use of his wool-shed, to the gentlemen who contributed wool and acted as a committee in connection with the class 1 , and to the Education Board for their generous loan of wool.
