122 SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES

To Assist Trinity Church at Winfield
to Enlarge Its School
(Memorial 129)

Wuereas, The program for training teachers at St. John’s
College has given to the elementary schools of our Synod a grati-
fying number of graduates each year during the past decade; and

WHEREAS, An important element of this program of training is
the semester of observation of, and participation in, teaching and
another semester of practice teaching; and

Wuereas, These valuable student-teaching experiences are at
present restricted to the public schools of the city of Winfield; and

WuereEas, The program of training should include experiences
in a Lutheran elementary school; and

WuEREAS, Many of the students who are training as teachers
for Lutheran elementary schools have not themselves attended
such a parochial school or have not had satisfactory experiences
in them as pupils; and

Wuereas, Trinity Lutheran Church, Winfield, Kans., is at this
time planning a building program to provide more adequate worship
and educational facilities as a small church serving the rather
large student body at St. John’s College; and

Wuereas, The resources of this congregation are perhaps not
sufficient of themselves to provide facilities in its parochial school
which would be adequate for student-teaching purposes; there-
fore be it

Resolved, That we, the undersigned Trinity Lutheran Church
and the Board of Control of St. John’s College respectfully request
Synod, in convention assembled at St. Paul, Minn., in June 1956,
to instruct its Board for Higher Education to consider with Trinity

Lutheran Church the possibilities in the present building plans for
enlargement of its parochial school; and be it further

Resolved, That Synod authorize its Board for Higher Education
to give financial assistance to Trinity Lutheran Church for the
enlargement of this school and for additional staffing so that the
school can be used as a center for student teaching in the training
program of St. John’s College; and be it further

Resolved, That Synod authorize the Board of Control of
St. John’s College to enter into an arrangement with Trinity
Lutheran Church for the use of its school as a center for teacher
training.
