Satisfactory Reports of Progress at Annual Meeting: Success of Students at Home 'The annual meeting of the Cathedral Schools was held on Moxday, June 4, 1923, at the Guis' School, 1 Yates Rvad, under the chairmanship of Sir Skinner Turner, Among' those present were: the Very Rev. Cc. J, F. Symons, the Rev. OG. E. Spencer, Mr. Edney Page, Mr: A. E. Baker, Dr. E. L. Marsh (Committee), Mr. E. P, Graham Barrow (headmaster), Miss leet (headmistress), Mr. J. L. Beaumont (representing one of the Governors), and Mr. E. Mortimer Reid (hon. secretary and treasurer).
In moving the adoption of the report and accounts, the Chairman expressed the hope that the list of Governors would go on increasing in order that the valuable work' being done for British boys and! girls in Shanghai could go on! The Cathedral Schools in Shang' hai performed a very valuable function and they could not be run without outside assistance.
In the latter connexion, Mr. Mortimer Reid mentioned, in reviewing the accounts, that there had been a falling off in contributions from Governors in 1922 as compared with 1921, to the extent of Tls. 3,450, but he was very glad to say that in 1922 the schools had had a better showing in regard to the actual working of the Schools,—i.a, fees vis-d-vis expenses of $1,078. They needed more money and were now putting up a new building at the girls' school. In answer to a question, he explained that it wag necessary: to provide for $3,000 yearly as Staff passage money.
