the following words be substituted: “administrative and teach.

ing personnel,”

so that the revised Section 6.57 will read:

- 657. Salary Schedules

“The salary schedules of all administrative and teachj

personnel, paid in whole or’ in part from synodical funds, shal}
be fixed by the Fiscal Conference upon recommendation of
the Board for Higher Education to the Board of Directors”

Handbook Section 6.62

In the recommendations which are being made to the synod.
ical convention of 1950, the Board for Higher Education expresses
the conviction that it is necessary to add one institution for the
terminal training of teachers to the colleges now available for this
purpose. In addition, three preparatory institutions will be in.
volved in pre-teacher training programs on the college level if
the recommendations of the Board for Higher Education are ac.
cepted. The very apparent growing need for larger numbers of
women teachers indicates the possibility that other institutions
may be involved in the future program. Already at this time
Valparaiso University is suggested as a possibility for an addi-
tional source of women teachers. ;

Under these circumstances the distribution of candidates will
require a carefully integrated procedure on the part of Synod. In
addition to the following recommendation, it may well be that
Synod should order a review and analysis of the entire current
mechanics of placement and that appropriate adjustments, suited
to new conditions, should be made.

The Board for Higher Education believes that at this time
Synod should make a preliminary adjustment in the matter of
placement, and it therefore recommends that a new section be
added to the Handbook. This section is to be known as 6.62. The
following wording is recommended:

6.62. Placement Officers

“All institutions which offer terminal training for pro-

fessional workers in Synod, whether such institutions are
under direct subsidy from Synod or not, shall be held to
conform their placement policies to the synodical provisions
for distribution of candidates for the ministry and the teach-
ing profession. To effectively execute and to fix responsibility
for its placement policy, each institution offering terminal pro-
fessional training shall appoint to its administrative staff a
faculty member (not the president) who is to serve as Direc-
tor of Placement. This position is to be recognized as properly
classifying within the administrative staff and entitled to con-
sideration in the application of salary schedules for officers
of administration. This regulation shall not be construed as
prohibiting the president from participation in placement prv-
cedures.

Handbook Section 6.69

On the basis of its experience duri i i
Board for Higher Education is aware of crea ane ftiennium, we
dicate that Section 6.69 of the Handbook should be adjusted =~

The Board is convinced that grants in aid for facult ri d:
should be kept at a minimum, and it is convinced furthe "that
after a period of time such aid should be restricted to instru t :
and assistant professors; however, the present situation offers
many problems in connection with getting and keepin regi nal
accreditation, in connection with the change-over from - ly pre
paratory institutions to teacher training institutions fol in ton
nection with the introduction of a senior college that we bi lieve
the best interests of the Church require the followin dj ments
of the paragraph mentioned. 8 acuustments
