90 Proceedings of the twenty-sixth convention

so firmly to this necessary and wholesome order." (p. 20.) In volume 5, p. 84, we read: "On the first Monday in September the school was opened, and 112 children presented themselves, of whom, however, only 91 could be admitted. In admission preference was given to those children who are willing to let themselves be wholly educated by us, that is, who attend not only our weekday school but also our Sunday school and our worship services; for experience has taught that such children as attend our weekday school indeed, but not the Sunday school and church, are very seldom won for us." Volume 8, p. 75, says: "As soon as a mission school is full, only such children should be admitted whose parents give the definite promise to send their children to the Lutheran Sunday school and to the Lutheran confirmation instruction." May the Honorable Synodical Conference (*Synodalkonferenz*) subject this important matter to a detailed discussion.

6. Our Educational Institutions.

Immanuel College at Greensboro, N. C., has four professors. From Director Berg's biennial report the following data may be presented: Pupils: 56 (47). (The first figure refers to the school year 1914/15, the figure in parentheses applies to the school year 1915/16.) Male students in the seminary: 6 (6), female: 0 (1). Male pupils in the college: 28 (21), female pupils in the college: 22 (19). Lutheran students: 17 (20), non-Lutheran students: 39 (27). In both school years three students were confirmed who formerly did not belong to our church. Receipts from board money: $924.93, from the mission treasury: $4167.70, from gifts: $56.13, from tuition of 29 (26) pupils who do not live in the institution: $305.10. Total receipts: $5453.86. Of this, $305.10 was delivered to the mission treasury and $5148.76 used for the college, namely $4066.26 for the household fund and $1082.50 for establishing the connection with the city water main and for repairs to the college building. For professors' salaries the mission treasury paid out $9601 in these two years. The construction of the dormitory for female students, whose cost may amount to $3000, has not yet been begun, because only $239 has come in so far, and $2000 must be on hand before the building may be begun.

Our Luther College at New Orleans has two professors. Director Wilde's report for the two school years contains the following data: Number of pupils: 38 (35). Male pupils: 18 (16), female pupils: 20 (19), Lutheran pupils: 25 (24), non-Lutheran pupils: 13 (11). Of the latter 4 (1) were confirmed. Three of this year's non-Lutheran pupils have still
