The total income for current expenses is $63,868, and the value of
property is $915,000, of which $378,900 is in plants and $537,000 in
endowment. The attendance is 1,642, of whom 1,444 are elementary and 198
secondary. The teachers are 96 in number; 9 are white and 84 are
colored; 19 are men and 67 women; and 57 are academic teachers. Only two
of the schools are managed by white officers. The proportion of
industrial teachers is fairly adequate. Instruction in gardening and
agriculture is, however, not sufficiently emphasized to meet the needs
of a rural people.
_Lutheran Board of Education._—The Lutheran Board of Colored Missions
owns and maintains two large schools and seven smaller schools. Luther
College is located at Greensboro, N. C. While the name would indicate
college grade, full college courses have not yet been provided. Luther
College at New Orleans is also to be developed as a training school for
colored leaders of the Lutheran faith. All of the smaller schools are
located in Louisiana.
