L. T. NICOLA

The Committee on Education submitted the following recommendations, which were unanimously adopted:— GCB January 1, 1896, page 655.18

1. That the name of our educational institution be “The Avondale School for Christian Workers.” GCB January 1, 1896, page 655.19

2. That the present plan for conducting the Industrial Department be discontinued, and that the Board of Management be requested to formulate, and present to the people, definite plans for the time of opening the next term of school, and the terms and conditions upon which students will be received. GCB January 1, 1896, page 655.20

3. That immediate steps be taken to erect one or two school buildings at as little expense as is consistent with the requirements of the case, that school may be opened on the ground, and that earnest efforts be made to raise the funds necessary for the erection of these buildings. GCB January 1, 1896, page 656.1

4. That a decided effort be made to conduct the school with especial reference to the work of the denomination, giving the first place to lines of study which are most directly helpful in developing workers of the highest type for carrying forward the gospel work committed to this people, and that opportunities for manual labor, both as a means of support and education, be provided for the students.
