Church organized his chosen school in the rent-free chamber of Luke Greene's home. There has been a change in the college's faculty since the last annual meeting of the board of representatives. These new teachers proved efficient, and the work of the Academy has been successful in all its departments.
The efficiency of the library was greatly increased by the able and energetic administration of Prof. The president believes that it would help a lot to solve the athletic problem if a basketball hall were added to the gymnasium.

REPORT OF THE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
Neil Annas, Sacred Music
The Seminary offered eight courses of study for August as the possible beginning of a summer school for study, teaching and fellowship, for pastors and other Christian workers. The Seminary was represented at the Convention of the National Religious Education Association, in Providence, R. And provision was made for the printing and circulation of some of the lectures given to seminary students, thus making it possible for many persons, if they so desire to remain in close contact with the spirit, method and purpose of our teaching.
The seminary needs a larger endowment and a larger library so that we can better meet what we believe will be growing opportunities and responsibilities. For an account of the seminar's finances, refer to the treasurer's report.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF ALFRED ACADEMY
The majority of graduates plan to continue their education in the near future by going to college or by taking a teacher training course. This has been due to the faithful and efficient work of the permanent instructor and also to the fact that the class has largely consisted of high school students. Our reference library has moved to the small room in front of the community hall, which has resulted in a more satisfactory use of the reference books.
Department for the total number of Regents' answers which have been allowed by the Department in each of the years from 1906 to 1910 inclusive. I am pleased to be able to tell you that the local education board has decided to introduce industrial training next autumn, and that the academy's boys will have the opportunity to take the industrial courses on offer.

NEW YORK STATE SCHOOL OF CLAY-WORKING AND CERAMICS
The state's resources in clay are inexhaustible, but to produce this material profitably, specialized technical knowledge is indispensable. Sir: – I have the honor to present to you the eleventh annual report of the New York State School of Clay-Working and Ceramics. The story of the school, as recorded from year to year, is one of steady and healthy progress.
Education is largely of an individual nature, so that larger classes cannot be taught without additional space and facilities. Due to the nature of the case, a lot of time is spent in the oven and it is impossible to expect students to do efficient work under the current conditions, especially in very cold weather. The session of the school is, of course, held in winter, and at the time when the students should be doing their best work they are seriously hampered by the inability to provide sufficient heat in the classrooms and laboratories.
The needs of the school in this respect are strongly supported by the clayware manufacturers of the state, and your principal is in possession of copies of many urgent letters written by them, seeking the kind assistance of the legislators. . Daghlian is a specialist in chemistry and physics and will make a major contribution to the efficiency of the teaching staff. At the invitation of the Commissioner of Agriculture, the school is preparing an exhibition of the clay wares of the State for the State Fair to be held in Syracuse in September.
An application has been made to your principal by the Committee of the International Congress of Applied Chemistry to contribute to the program of the Congress which will meet at Washington, D. The pottery makers of the State are constantly making use of the school in solving their problems. technical. Every request is met as far as the school's facilities will allow, and your principal regularly receives letters appreciating the services provided.
NEW YORK STATE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE
- S. MORGAN, Director
- O. DUBOIS, Assistant Director
For some of the time the school has employed the services of lectures from President Davis and instruction from Mrs. The purpose of the work was to familiarize the farmers of the area with the practical ideals of the school. As a result, many dairy farmers were reached and many were made aware of the school and its purpose for the first time.
Several members of the faculty spoke frequently at Grange meetings, at teachers' institutes, and at the school. A wonderful example of an American trotter was lent (or donated) to the school by Mr. Finally, there are indications that the services of the school, both practical and educational, are greatly appreciated by the people for whom it was specially created.
A dynamo powered by a 12-horsepower gas engine has been installed in the basement of the dairy building. New laboratories for soil, agricultural machinery and cement work are being installed in the basement of the main building. Due to the increased attendance compared to previous years, 50 extra lockers have been placed in the basement for use by additional students.
During the year, the school has carried out a demonstration in the use of the 6-horse "Cyclone Ditcher" for the construction of tile drains. The authorities at Hornell Fair have set aside a building 100'x35' for the use of the State School of Agriculture. Some fine specimens of the Ayrshire, Jersey and Holstein breeds have been bought this year.
