_A Board of Adult Education
(Memorial 517)
Resolved — “That the Eastern District memorialize Synod to
create a Board of Adult Education.” ,
This resolution was passed in connection with the report and
the recommendations of our District Board for. Christian Education.
The supporting arguments were, of course, that our Synod ‘has been
very diligent in promoting primary education and, through the
Walther League, secondary education, but that the field of adult
education has barely been touched, and that it is a field deserving .
of far more attention than it has had hitherto. ‘

cation be changed by substituting the word “Parish” -for “Chris-
‘tian” and making it read: The Board for Parish Education.
