over the students entrusted to them. In the monthly faculty

and discussed.
Student-Body

We believe that an,increasing spirit of consecration and devo-
tion to task in the student-body during the last triennium may be
recorded to the glory of God.

Enrolment: 1938—1939, 331; 1939—1940, 361; 1940—-1941, 371.

Coeducation in High School Department

Coeducation in the high-school department continues to be
a satisfactory arrangement in every way. For six years now the
arrangement has demonstrated that it does not interfere with the
paramount purpose of our school, namely, the preparation of young
men for the public ministry of the Word. Beyond a doubt this
department continues to prove itself a real blessing to many boys
and girls seeking a higher education under Christian influences.
All maintenance expenses of this arrangement are being met
annually by the Fort Wayne Lutheran High School Association,
at no extra cost to Synod.

Non-ministerial enrolment in high-school department: 1938
to 1939, 135 (65 boys and 70 girls) ; 1939—1940, 171 (96 boys and
75 girls); 1940—1941, 186 (105 boys and 81 girls).

Broadcasting of Morning Devotions
For more than three years the morning devotional exercises
of our institution, conducted by President Ottomar Krueger, were
broadcast every week-day over WOWO, the local 10,000-watt
station. The God-sent Redeemer of sinful men, Jesus Christ, has
been exalted in every devotion and thus presented to thousands
of listeners. ‘These listeners and friends of the institution have
financed this important enterprise in its entirety.

speakers simply cannot be followed. Since the devotional exercises
have been broadcast from this chapel hundreds of listeners have
registered their complaints about this defect.
