30 THE BRANKSOME SLOGAN sent in, and after paying our expenses we were able to send $250 to the Ramabai Mission. On November 30th Dr. Neil paid a visit to the school. The girls were introduced to him by our President, Blanche Simpson. Dr. Neil spoke to us on Ireland and his experiences there, which he made delightfully interesting and very amusing. Early in December the Y.W.C.A. undertook the packing of Christmas boxes for poor families living in lonely parts of the Province, and by the splendid co-operation of all the girls we were able to look after eight families instead of four as was at first intended. All felt amply rewarded when Miss Read read letters of thanks which showed that our efforts had been so greatly appreciated. During the winter term we held as usual our Annual Skating Party, and we had three most interesting addresses, one by Miss Garrett, missionary on furlough from China, one by Miss Marshall Saunders, the authoress, who told us about the Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia, and the last by Dr. Joshee, a native of India, formerly an outcast, but now a medical doctor and one of the most influential men in his district. A special weekly offering during Lent was collected in each form for the support of our two orphans in India. It amounted to $65.42. During the spring term we have planned to undertake more work and increase our funds by the aid of the Strawberry Festival. KATHLEEN BURROWS, Secretary. TREASURER ' S REPORT, Y.W .C.A.
