. Elementary Education 149

~ Concerning Point 8 Committee 4 recommended:
; Wuergas, Synod in 1938 resolved to appropriate $1,000 per
annum for research in the field of elementary Christian education,
“to be carried out under the direction of the Board of Christian
Education; and

Wuereas, These funds have not been made available; and

_ Wuereas, This work is sorely needed; therefore be it:
Resolved, That this appropriation be made.
Action of Synod: This recommendation was adopted.

Concerning Point 9 Committee 4 recommended:

That congregations not using the excellent Sunday-school
teacher-training courses be encouraged to introduce the study of
the same, so that the goal “Every teacher a trained teacher” may
soon be achieved;

That District boards continue to cooperate with the General
Board in carrying out the teacher-training program by making use
of conferences, circuit meetings, and institutes to the fullest extent.

Action of Synod: These recommendations were adopted.

Concerning Point 10 Committee 4 recommended

That our educational agencies be utilized in the interest of
a more intensive program of personal mission-work and that this
matter be referred to the Board of Christian Education for action.

Action of Synod: This recommendation was adopted.

Concerning Point 11 Committee 4 recommended:

Wuereas, We believe that Bible-class work on the Junior,
Senior and adult level should be emphasized and promoted by
Synod; and

Wuereas, There is an apparent lack of Bible-study material
on the adult level; therefore be it

Resolved, That Synod authorize the Board of Christian Edu-
cation and the Young People’s Board to study this matter jointly.

Action of Synod: This recommendation was adopted.

Concerning Point 12 Committee 4 recommended

That because of the increasing interest in adult parish educa-
tion we recommend that Synod refer this matter to the Board of
Christian Education in consultation with the Young People’s Board
and the Call of the Cross Committee.

Action of Synod: This recommendation was adopted.

Concerning Point 13 Committee 4 recommended

That, because it does not see the immediate feasibility of a
synodically subsidized family magazine, the Board of Christian
Education be encouraged to continue to study this area and report
its findings to the next synodical convention.

Action of Synod: This recommendation was adopted.
