(Head Resident) At tUc end of this fiscal year wo look back over one of the hardest in the Uvea of our neighbors, and forward to what we fear will be a still harder one. At the same time, we look back upon a field of usefulness larger than we have known before; forward to a year when people's hearts, touched by a great and common sorrow, will open M never before to larger work made possible by large means. • Never before have we bean so touched by the people among whom we live, never baa the beat been wrung from us who are at work as will be during the coming year, never have we •done so fine a work as we must do in the year just hegihaing -'■• The organized work for 1913-14 fol- lowed the same lines as for several years, with gratifying results.

Just as in the previous stages of the voyage we were constantly passing under bridges, so now we find our- selves passing under many more, sail- ' close under the lofty sides? of gi- tie freighters, or sweeping by the ay tall buildings of every kind along the banks of the river; until after a passage of four miles from the point of our departure at Lake street we arrive at the broad opening of the great canal itself. After enter- ing the canal we find that we have■ a depth of twenty-four feet of water under us, white the sloping sides are three hundred feet apart at the sur- face of the water., narrowing down to two hundred feet at the bottom. ' ' It is now fifteen years since tho completion of the great drainage canal, the entrance of which is at Robey street, and as It stretches away towards the southwest the great body or water In view is a most impressive spectacle.

The town of Summit la, as the name suggests, the highest point in the divide between the; late and the river valley below. < At Summit, or "the Summit," as it lb often called, there is a monument erected by the Chicago sad Alton Railway company to the memory of Father Marquette, who accompanied Joliet on his world-famous voyage of discovery' in 1673. It consists of a of boulders securely cemented surmounted by the receding distance, are of MMi boulderupon which Is riveted a bronse greater sir© than those In any other part of the city, for Chicago Is hot only noted for tho great number of Its tunnels, but for Its numerous bridges as well. One of these great struc- tures carries eight separate lines bf railroad tracks, besides being so con- structed that It can be swung open in order to permit of the passage of ships ud r'earners. Indeed, all the bridges over the canal are movable. so that it is at pace available for Its •*.««, loitlmate use as H' navigable water- way In addition to its present use a* * drainage channel.^ ' In the nelghborhW of the canal there once7 stood * farads house surrounded by a tract of cultl- vated land.

Along tola river came Hca, Joliet and Marquette on their voyage of discovery In 1673. approaching the lake from the weat in their canoes It was some years later that La Salle passed over the same route in an op- posite direction on his way to the Mississippi.
