802 PARISH EDUCATION

the program of Christian education in the local congregation em-
braces more than the elementary school, pastors, teachers, and
local Boards of Christian Education need information and sugges-
tions for all agencies of Christian education sponsored by them.
So far we have had no outlet for the work of our various depart-
ments. This means that we are handicapped in assisting our
congregations in their program of parish education. To provide
the necessary assistance, we urge the approval of this requested
extension of the News Service. The following details are suggested:
1. That the News Service be continued through 1947, (This would
complete 25 years of service for this periodical.)

2. That beginning January 1, 1948, the News Service be extended
to a monthly publication of 16 pages, ten issues per year, that
will give attention to the entire parish education program.

3. That the editorial responsibility be lodged in the staff, with the
executive secretary as editor, each staff member making con-
tributions pertaining to the work of his department or handling
other assignments as may be required.

4. That the name of the new publication be “Lutheran Parish
Education.”

5. That the new publication be available free of charge to all pastors
and teachers and other called servants of the Church, lay mem-
bers of District and synodical Boards of Education, women
teachers, supply teachers (if requested), and students at our
seminaries and teachers’ colleges, and available to others on
a subscription basis of $1.00 per year.

. That the new publication be printed.

7. That additional funds be made available to cover the publication

of this magazine. The cost of producing this magazine will be,
roughly, $6,000 per year,

13.2, Allotment for Research. The annual allotment for re-
search during the past triennium has permitted study of important
aspects of the parish program. In view of the importance of further
activity in this area, the Board for Parish Education respectfully
requests that $3,000 per annum for the next triennium be made
available for this purpose.

13.3. Research Fund (Centennial Thankoffering). We respect-
fully submit that the $400,000 Research Fund established through
the Centennial Thankoffering should be used in part for research
in education. We also request that the Board for Parish Education
be represented on the committee that will determine for which
purposes the Centennial Research Fund is to be used.
