small amount invested on street and walk improvement will

A-request for $20,000 is made to allow for the most urgent
7, St. John’s Lutheran School. The parochial school of St. John’s
egation has enjoyed a fine growth in recent years. It has
a point where the congregation is considering extensive
tions. In fact, the plan is to double the present capacity and
build a gymnasium as well.

This development is fortunate for Concordia College, since ~
4g school serves as the campus training school. The enlarged
ool will be better able to accommodate the larger number of
x ents who receive training and experience there.

The congregation is keeping the needs and requirements of
teacher-training program in mind in the planning. Some pro-
ns will be of direct value to this program.

The request that Synod authorize and empower the Board of
ors and the Board for Higher Education to share in the con-
fruction of this building as the interest of Synod may indicate
will be found in a separate memorial.

ix 8. The adoption of a policy on professorial housing. The Board
gf Control of this institution has submitted a plan to the Board for
Higher Education whereby it would be possible for members of
he faculty to purchase their own homes on easy terms. As the
staff continues to grow, housing becomes a bigger problem. Realiz-
ing that this is no simple matter, we request that the Board of
Directors be authorized to work out a fair and equitable plan in
: conjunction with the Board for Higher Education and the local
: Boards of Control of the institutions to enable faculty .members
. to purchase or build homes.

“1, 9. The steady growth of secondary schools in Synod must fill
“798 with joy. With their development comes the problem of staff-
ing these high schools, Concordia Teachers College is keenly
ware of this need and is giving study to ways and means of
meeting it,

‘. The present curricular program and the Concordia High School
ga the campus would seem to indicate that intensive planning for
_ taining high school teachers should be inaugurated and pursued
bo With vigor during the coming triennium, leading to specific recom-

mendations at the next convention.

», A request is herewith made that such studies be authorized
: be made in consultation with the Board for Higher Education.
