62 Proceedings of the twenty-fifth convention

in the autumn of 1912, after seven years of service, a call to the teachers' seminary in Addison, Ill. At Immanuel College colored preachers and teachers, men and women, are trained. Gifted Christian girls also have access to the institution. In the school year 1912/13 the institution had 55 pupils (25 male and 30 female); in the school year 1913/14 the enrollment was 45 (25 male and 20 female). The decrease in the last school year probably has its reason in the fact that the dormitory for girls was not reopened last autumn. Yet the enrollment promises to grow again. By the end of June 17 new pupils had already registered. From Immanuel, in the ten years of its existence, 10 pastors, 3 teachers and 8 women teachers have gone forth. The institution's building is beginning to need repair. This summer as much as 300 dollars will be spent on repairs. Further repairs are in prospect. May the Synodical Conference [Synodalkonferenz] decide the question whether and when a dormitory for girls should be erected in Greensboro.

2. The Luther College in New Orleans, La. — The faculty consists of Director R. A. Wilde and Prof. H. Meibohm. By resolution of the second-to-last Synodical Conference, Luther College is a preparatory institution for Immanuel College in Greensboro. The enrollment in the school year 1912/13 was 36 pupils (20 boys, 16 girls), in the school year 1913/14 41 pupils (22 boys, 19 girls). Director Wilde says in his report: "Attendance at the college reached in the past year a height such as the institution has not had since it became a preparatory school for Immanuel College. The enrollment came to 41. The work of the year went off without noteworthy incidents, and teachers and pupils were equally diligent in meeting the demands made on them. Four boys and one girl received their diplomas on July 19. One of the boys intends to move over to Greensboro in the autumn, and the girl is ready to serve the Church in school, if a use should be found for her. As for prospects of pupils for next year, most of our old pupils will probably come back, and from St. Paul here we expect 6 new pupils. Bethlehem and Mount Zion did not supply us with any new pupils this year, and probably none are to be expected for next year either." For repairs, painting and improvements $415.63 have been spent. Since the city authority demands that sanitary toilets be installed in all schools and institutions, and since St. Paul and Luther College adjoin each other, sanitary toilets were installed under Luther College in July of this year. The cost came to about 600 dollars. Since Treasurer Schulze had no money in the treasury, he had to borrow the 600 dollars from the bank.
