For the efficient execution Of the plan, the
COMMITTEES believe that the following persons

tendsnt to be layman, and, II possible, phys
iefAnf q clergyman and wife, a. teachers Of the
sehool-he being chaplain, and having charge
OF the establishment during the absence Of the
superintendent; young man as assistant teach
eri farmer and wife; two females to superin-
tend the wardrobe Of the boys, and to aid in
household affairs; a blacksmith; and a earpen-
ter. s.-
That the chief expense to the church. il ia
believed, will be incurred during the first year,
In erecting buildings, and placing the farm IN
der cultivation, which will cause an outlay Of
$500 And that, with prudent management,
this sum can be refunded, and the mission made
to sustain itself, with the aid of the government
appropriation, within six years from its COM
mencement
The committee repeat their conviction that
this 10 one of the most favorable opportunities
which has ever been presented, TO establish mis-
sions among the Indians west Of the Missis-
sippi- And they again present the subject, in
the hope that IL may awaken an interest in the
church, arrest the attention Of persons suitable
for the enterprise, and draw forth the means ne
cessary for It's support.
