In order to exhibit more accurately the financial result of the year's working, the school has been charged with interest on the actual cost to the 31st December, 1911, of buildings and furnishing. The College Account shows that in addition to enjoying the free use of about 70 acres of land, the school during last year benefited from the endowment to the extent of £1,573 Bs. Id. in cash. The Boarding Account is considerably heavier this year. The increase is partly due to improvements it was thought desirable to effect in the bill of fare, and partly to increased wages of the domestic staff rendered necessary mainly by difficulty in procuring a sufficient number of competent workers. Salaries of masters are about £500 more than previous year, which is to some extent owing to the present being the complete year on the increased salaries scale. The income from fees, considering that an additional term was at the new scale of fees, shows less increase than was anticipated, owing to a falling-off in the number of boarders. The number enrolled for the opening term of 1913, which is a record for the school, proves that the falling-off mentioned was merely temporary.
