The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 42

Report

Report.

The Association, by the means already stated, has been successful in creating throughout the Colony an active interest on the question of School Banks; and also, it may be said, has been the means of inducing the Government to make the now existing arrangements for the scheme being conducted with easy facility. Financially, however, the Society has not met with that measure of support which it was believed the merits of the subject would call forth. It is to be regretted therefore that its efforts must be discontinued. The Treasurer submits a statement of account. He will be glad to acknowledge receipt of further subscriptions to defray the heavy balance on the debit side.
