cows, and so forth, at our Colegio. This couple with one child has
its meals in the Colegio. As a home they have one room next
to the chickenhouse of the Director. The one-room house is
merely a temporary affair, not well built, always moist and damp,
consequently not healthy at all. We therefore request Synod to
empower its Board of Directors to have a two-room house with
a bath erected next to the present one-room bakery of the Colegio.

Our last request is that Synod empower its Board of Directors
or its Fiscal Conference to grant us the necessary funds to build
up an adequate faculty library. Our student library is in fair con-
dition, but the faculty library is still in a miserable state and needs
much attention. We are not in a position to mention a fixed sum.

A summary of our Colegio needs:

1. Remodeling in part of the Director’s residence and installa-
tion of running water and bath in the residences and Colegio
at a cost of $1,929 dollars.

2. Co-education and a dormitory for girls.

3. A third professor’s residence.

4, A second piano.

5. A two-room house with bath for the kitchen and yard help.

6. A good faculty library.

Assuring Synod that the Christians in Argentina thank God
for the wonderful mission spirit shown by their brethren in North
America and asking the Lord of the Church to grant you a large
measure of wisdom and foresight and a fine spirit of unity and
brotherliness and to bless you abundantly in your decisions for the
welfare of our beloved Church, we remain most humbly ‘

ACTION

1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. An appropriation of $20,500 was made upon
recommendation of Committee 1 under “Building Grants” to cover
these requests.

2. Upon recommendation of Committee 1 Synod resolved that
whereas the Roman Catholic religion is taught in all state schools
of Argentina, and whereas funds to provide a home for twelve
girls on the Crespo campus were included in the appropriations
made by this convention, the request of the Argentine brethren
for co-education be granted.
