In giving a summary of the work of the Association from
its origin, it is impossible to form a correct estimate of its com-
plete operations, from the fact, that numerous valuable contri-
butions of Garments, Books, Seeds, Sanitary Stores, &c., were
forwarded without an accurate inventory being had of them.

With regard to the funds expended for educational purposes
we would say, that although we have but thirteen schools in
active operation at the present time, we have had at other |
periods of our history a greater number, and have assisted
others by small donations,—while, through the assistance and
influence of our teachers, Night and First-day schools have
been established in various neighborhoods, the books for which
have been supplied by the “Friends Bible and Tract Distribu-
ting Association.”
