There' were twomeetinRs. of the Teacherr;;' Institute. held last year,
one in Dut.ton and one in St. 'Ihol:.nas. Both wei:e very largely attended
and were of great value to the teachers.
A few schools are,now provided with our Oanadian flag, at the raising
of which public meetings were held, when patriotic' addresses, were de-
livered, directipR attention to the duties and obligations of citizenship.
Next year I hope ,to report some important changes in the: regulation
governing the High School Entrance and the PnbHc SchoorLeavingEx~
aminations, which will be int'ended to induce p1.l"pib in rural sections to
remain a longer time in the public schools.
Thankin~you and ,the public generallyfortbe interest,manife8ted

From Mr, Henry Caughell, one of the present owners, we found that

we finc] that the ,gross recoipts from ,1887~ to 1892, both years .inclusive,
were $17,1:55;80,oran average of $2,909.30 yearly, and the expenditurl.3

of refuge thoreOll before thepassiug of the Act. In March, 1891, the
ProviilQi~l Iusp,ector ,visited the Institution, valued tho property at $12,.
000, and the County recoived from the Gov;ernment the SUIll of $3,000.
,Sincethat time the sum of over $6,000 has been expended in enlarging
and improving the Institution, and the totalexpenditnre thereby increased
to an:amonnt sufficiont to entitle the County of Elgin t; the full amount
of $4,000. TbeProvincial Inspector replied tlJatthe5th Scction of tho Act
only applied to" the appropriation of one-quarter of th"e value of the prop.
/ ertyat the time application was first made by the County, and he
further Haid that he conldnot Reeany way nnder the Act of increasing
the amount for th!3 County of}i;]gin.' The c.ounty Solicitor when in To-
ronto was instructed to interview the I-Ionorahle the Provit'('lal Secre'tary
in r.eference to the matter, and D. McColl, 1\f.P.P., pointed out to the

fact that, in committmg inmates tothe Institution" sufficient ca.re has not,
