eiEqually hazardous would be any effort to entice the Lutheran

schools into continuing to maintain provisions for specialized

g for ministerial or teacher training candidates by making

y payments available on the condition that language spe-

guties be supplied. The preparation of a very small number of

ents for such highly specialized work is already resulting in a

y and inefficient program of education at those schools which

tain it. (At St.Louis Lutheran High School it costs $218 per

ipil per year to supply the required additional courses in third-

r Latin, third-year German, and Greek. At Luther Institute in

ago the cost of such service is $188 per pupil per year. If this

ount is added to the regular cost of providing required courses

dents in these schools exceeds $400 per pupil per year.)

lance and breadth to the training which is now being given to
school boys under present synodical requirements.

The Board for Higher Education recommends:

a. That Synod approve this plan of Lutheran high school
scholarships.

b. That at this time the Board for Higher Education be au-

“thorized to make the necessary budget allowances to make
the plan effective at Fort Wayne, River Forest, Seward, and
the proposed senior college (or the St. Louis seminary), and
to validate vouchers for payment directly to the school upon
presentation of properly certified statements by the local
administration.

ce. That the Board for Higher Education be authorized to estab-
lish and approve any necessary curricular changes involved
at the Fort Wayne Junior College.

d. That this plan become effective on June 1, 1951, so that it
may be applied to students entering the listed colleges in
September, 1951.
