Church. We urgently request Synod to grant us a yearly allo
ance of $1,800 to. employ such a man.

4. The administrative work at our school cannot be
promptly and well without additional office help. Concu
in the recommendation of the Board for Higher Education,
therefore request Synod to grant us a yearly allowance of at le
$1,500 to engage a full-time bookkeeper. ;

5. For years our Science Department has been handicappt
by lack of laboratory facilities. We have 246 students and .o:
one laboratory. Much time is lost between classes in taking do
old displays and setting up new ones. Formerly we had ng
room for a second laboratory. Since the building of our library;
we have the old faculty library available for this purpose. Wé
urgently request Synod to grant us $5,000 to equip this: roor
as a laboratory and science lecture room. ?

6. The lighting in our chapel is entirely inadequate. We
need more foot-candles of light and cannot get it with the presen
fixtures without increasing the already intolerable glare. Ne

fixtures with adequate wiring will cost $300.00. We request Syno
to grant us this sum. :

7. The college office is too small and too poorly equippe
to function well in all phases of administration. It can be’ ert
larged by utilizing all or part of an adjoining room. This wor
plus additional necessary files and cabinets will cost approxi

mately $10,000. We respectfully request Synod to make thes

improvements. Tue Boarp or Controt, Concorpia COLLEé
