structed to aid the Synodical and Presbyterial
committees in their effort to carry on this work"
(Assembly's Minutes, Vol. XII, pages sos. 5O6)
Your committee thus appointed begs leave to
submit report follows:
ID A few of the Synods and some of the Pros
byteries have appointed regular canvassing agents
to visit their congregations in the effort to raise
general educational fund. Some of the results of
this effort were set forth in your committees re-
ports to the Assemblies of 1904 and 1905
~ A number of educational institutions
have sent special agents into the field to secure
subscriptions. In many cases the results have
been gratifying and the schools have received
much financial aid
10 Various legacies ha-S been added to the en-
dowment funds of some of our schools
(4) Handsome gifts have been made to some of
our institutions by persons living beyond the bord-
ers of Synods
The financial results attained through all of
'hese agencies may be accredited perhaps, to the
general movement inaugurated in behalf of q
twentieth Century Fund. At the same time vour
committee finds it impossible to make exact state
ments concerning the sums of money secured
through any or all of these methods
One or TWO general statements may be made
with confidence: CD That Synodical and Presby-
terial schools have been placed upon much strong
er foundations, and (2) that large promotion of
our people has been trained in the grace of giving
money Tor the maintenance of a system of Chris
tan education
For the information of the Assembly your com
mlttee ventures to mention few general esti-
mates concerning the financial results of this move
ment in some of the Synods throughout the period
OF the past five years. The committee is not pre-
pared to suggest estimates with reference to the
other Synods. These approximations are given
with the hope that all of the Presbyteries and
Synods may be stimulated to more systematic and
earnest effort in the prosecution of our educational
work:
Synod of Texas OBSTINATE made by T. r. Samp.
son with reference to the work of five years.
$780, 900.
Synod of North Carolina estimate made bv
Synod's committee), $111,199.34.
Synod of Missouri OBSTINATE made by A. A. Wal
lace) $4,000.
Synod of Alabama OBSTINATE made by Arch. A.
Lttle), $4,000
Synod of Virginia Tin behalf of Union Seminary
and of various Presbyterial schools about $75-
600.
Synod of Georgia (Agnes Scott Institute) S35.
900. T'
In conclusion, your committee begs leave to
state that every effort that seemed practicable
has been made to carry out the instructions given
by the Assembly. The committee respectfully
asks therefore, that it be discharged
