Summer-School Courses for Pastors in Our Preparatory Colleges.
(Memorial 127.)

During the past three years a beginning has been made in estab-
lishing summer-schools for pastors. The enrolments have shown that
there is considerable interest in these institutions, and it is to be
expected that, since the various demands of the present-day ministry
frequently tend to deprive pastors of opportunities for private study,
these schools should prove even more popular in the future as a source
of stimulus and a means of keeping pastors in touch with theological
studies. In view of this we respectfully petition Synod that it take
under advisement the arrangement of such courses in our preparatory
schools wherever possible, thus putting to use the splendid plants of
these institutions at least for part of the time during which they
usually lie idle, and that such summer-schools be put under the
direction and regulation of the Seminary at St. Louis, possibly as
part of the work of the Extension Division.
