had to be raised to $125 a year. Yet even so our treasurer would
_not have been able to make ends meets if it had not been for the

continued and generous support of the College Ladies’ Aid and
_ of a number of individual Christians as well as church organizations.

All these loyal friends have again and again aided our commissary

by arranging kitchen showers and by sending in generous amounts

of farm produce and cash donations. To all of them we herewith

publicly express our thanks.

Requests

A. After thorough investigation your Board of Control has
come to the conclusion that a course in typewriting ought to be
given. Such a course would not only be helpful to our: pre-
theological students, but also, being one of the popular optional
courses in the public high schools, would be an inducement for
non-ministerial students to enroll with us. We ask the Hon. Synod
to grant us the sum of $330 for the purchase of six factory-rebuilt
typewriters.

B. According to present regulations non-ministerial students

> are required to pay tuition. We believe that, at least in the
case of the local college; it would be advisable to suspend this rule.
Such a move would bring us non-ministerial students whose
parents cannot, or are not willing to, pay tuition in addition to
the rate for board, transportation, etc. It would keep such students
from absorbing the godless philosophy taught in so many of our
public high schools and carrying it into their homes and churches,
and it would help to train such boys for future leadership in
the Church.

We therefore petition Synod to grant us permission to accept
non~-ministerial students, at least experimentally, without the
payment of tuition.
