APPENDIX D.

Report of the Trustees of the Episcopal Academy.

To the Diocesan Convention:

The Trustees of the Episcopal Academy are able through their Executive Committee to report that the year now closing, the first year of the School under Mr. Woodbury as Principal, has been one of prosperity. The number of pupils has increased. The school work has gone on quietly and thoroughly, and the spirit and tone of the School are excellent. The health of the boys has been remarkably good. There has been no serious case of sickness. There are forty boys in the School. Seventeen of them are communicants, seven having been confirmed during the year.

The interest shown by the graduates of the School is one of the most encouraging facts that we have to record. It would be hard to name a school which has called forth within the year so many proofs of the affection of its old scholars. A great company of boys have been trained at Cheshire under Mr. Woodbury, and they have given him the assurance of their heartiest support. The Academy has in its former pupils, now widely scattered and engaged in every honorable calling, great strength.

The Trustees have long desired to enlarge the course of instruction in elementary science. The Colleges demand this of the Preparatory School and parents desire it. At their last meeting the Trustees voted to appropriate $500 towards the equipment of a Laboratory for work in Chemistry and Physics, and also made an appropriation for the salary of a thoroughly trained instructor in elementary science and mechanical drawing. They were gratified in learning in the same week that the Principal had received, in reply to a letter stating what it was desired to do, a gift of $500 for the equipment of the Laboratory, from a former pupil, Mr. F. W. Darling, of Hampton, Virginia, of the class of 1884.

It is believed that other graduates have good purposes concerning their old School, and that those who have given and labored for the Academy will find in the prosperity and usefulness of the Diocesan School an ample reward for their offerings and their work. To the subscribers to the Guarantee Fund the Trustees renew their thanks, assuring them that the hope of accomplishing that for which the Fund was established is greatly strengthened by the record of the past year.

The demands upon the Academy as a public Church School to educate the sons of the Clergy and boys who must in such a school find a way, with limited means, to prepare for College or for their life work, have been beyond the resources of our few scholarships and special funds. The duty of the School in this particular has been met as best we could, for we have felt a public responsibility such as rests upon no private institution.

We return most grateful thanks to the friends of the School who have given it their support in this time of transition from the old form of

Diocese, and in this time of business depression. Our in its usefulness to the Diocese and the whole Church, tion, to good learning and pure religion, was never st Believing that because of its honest, thorough work, t of support, we commend it without reserve to the Diog people learn about it and have in it a genuine interest.
