Boarding-School for Indians
Mr.Sam Miller of Gresham, Wis., had submitted an overture

that the boarding-school for Indian children at Red Springs, Wis.,
be reopened.

Committee 2 submitted the following resolutions:

Resolved, That we commend Mr.Sam Miller for his zeal in
behalf of the Christian training of Indian children; and

Wuereas, The North Wisconsin District has but recently as-
sumed the responsibility for the synodical missions within its
boundaries; and

Wuereas, Synod would have to reverse its policy were it to
make an exception in the cause of Indian Missions; therefore be it

Resolved, That we instruct Mr.Sam Miller to refer his appeal
for the reopening of the Indian School at Red Springs, Wis., to
the Mission Board of the North Wisconsin District.

Action of Synod: These resolutions were adopted.

Transferring Indian Mission Property in Wisconsin to North
Wisconsin District
(Memorial 413)

In 1932 Synod decided to place certain synodical missions under
the direct care and supervision of the respective Districts in whose
territory such missions are located. Thus the Indian Missions in
North Wisconsin were assigned to the North Wisconsin District.
This District has adopted these missions as its own and since Feb-
ruary 1, 1937, is financing them without any direct subsidy from
Synod. The arrangement has been working out so satisfactorily
that there appears no more reason why it should not be made a
permanent one. We therefore respectfully suggest that the Synod
make this arrangement permanent by adopting the following reso-
lutions:

“Resolved, That the Board of Directors of Synod be authorized
and empowered, and it is hereby authorized and empowered, to
convey to the North Wisconsin District for $1.00 and other valuable
considerations Synod’s proprietary interest in certain lands, build-
ings, and equipment formerly used by it in conducting its mission
and mission-school at Gresham (Red Springs), Wisconsin, and its
mission at Oneida, Wisconsin; and be it further

Resolved to authorize and instruct the Treasurer of Synod,
and he is hereby authorized and instructed, to pay to the North
Wisconsin District, for its Church Extension Fund, the sum of
$1,629.63, this amount being the difference between the credit
balance in an account for a proposed teacher’s dwelling at Gresham
