     Miss Hopper says, "This statement includes all
purchases to December 1, but does not include board
collected since December 1, which is a little more than
$500."

     We find on studying the itemized statements of the,
expenditures of Patterson Hall, that servants' hire, amount-
ing to more than two hundred dollars per month, i-s included
in the amounts disbursed by Miss Hopper. This item,
according to the law, should be paid from the State-app'rop-
riation, but has not been charged to it in the past. Since
servants' hire amounts to more than the entire appropriatidon,
it is clearly impossible to Day all of it from this source;
but your Board would ask that any sum in the two thousand D
dollars, over and above the cost of fuel, lights and water,
should be refunded to the Board of Control at the close
of the school year. It feels that this will be absolutely
necessary this year, on account of running the dormitory
at the same rate of board as in former year, when the c6st
of living is so much higher. Another item that is paid
out of the receipts from Patterson Hall is the salaries
of Miss Hopper, book-keeper, and Miss Pickett, matron,
each of whom receives five hundred dollars per year.
