Educational Work

By H. E. Rogers

Since the work of denominational colleges and academies is but briefly referred to in Table No. 1, the accompanying supplementary table (No. 5) covering this feature of work, may prove of interest.

This report is the first that bears so fully upon the educational features of our work; for it is only during the recent past that so much attention has been given to church and intermediate school work. From Table No. 1 it will be seen that 8,159 students are enrolled in church-schools; 889 in intermediate schools; and 2,097 in colleges and academies; making a grand total enrolment of 11,145 students in attendance upon denominational schools. Of the number attending colleges and academies, 153, or 7.30 per cent, completed their preparation at the close of the 1903-04 school year, ready to enter upon active duties in connection with some department of the work.

The large number of over 11,000 young people receiving a preparation and a training for service in behalf of the message in various parts of the world, is, if consecrated, but a prophecy of the more rapid proclamation of the gospel message to the world, the fulfilment of which will be realized in the sheaves garnered for the heavenly kingdom.
