The money contributed for the founding of the institution, which it was estimated would only provide for four years, is now thought to be sufficient to carry on the work two years longer, and there is good ground for belief that the institution will soon become self-supporting. The secretary's report also officially announces that the Harvard examinations for women in Cambridge have been changed from the Woman's Education Society in Boston to the Annex, the examinations in other cities being carried on as heretofore.

A knowledge of Parliamentary roles, an ability to express oneself clearly and logically, firm grasp of the subject under consideration in order to be able to do this, a self confidence and freedom from embarrassment in addressing an audience are among the inestimable results of an active participation in public debate. Nothing is so humiliating to a man as to be called upon in some public meeting to give his views on a particular measure and to find that though...
