As to educational plant, last year’s survey touched upon the demand of the socialized conscience for better housing conditions in missionary institutions. Our response is in the fact that no year has ever spent so much for sanitation, that more fire escapes have been erected, and more bathtubs installed than any previous year. * * * As a class, they are more nearly fire-proof, they have more steel in their structure, more scientifically determined allowance of light and air, and more beauty than any previous group. * * * If the Lord’s work is attempted at all it shall be done under somewhat decent conditions. Nor do we feel that it is a substitution of the physical for the spiritual. To live up to plumbing is itself a training of character, health is a prerequisite of thought, and beauty an inalienable right of the spirit. A summary of the schools is given below: AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION. ───────────┬───────┬──────────┬─────────────────┬──────────┬─────────── │Number │ │ │Income for│ │ of │ Counted │ │ Current │ Value of States │Schools│Attendance│ Teachers │ Expenses │ Property ───────────┼───────┼──────────┼─────┬─────┬─────┼──────────┼─────────── │ │ │Total│White│Negr.│ │ ───────────┼───────┼──────────┼─────┼─────┼─────┼──────────┼─────────── Total │ 29│ 6,992│ 383│ 212│ 171│ $235,764│ $1,733,589 ═══════════╪═══════╪══════════╪═════╪═════╪═════╪══════════╪═══════════ Alabama │ 6│ 1,714│ 89│ 57│ 32│ 63,553│ 546,769 Florida │ 1│ 225│ 12│ │ 12│ 3,343│ 49,300 Georgia │ 6│ 1,459│ 68│ 32│ 36│ 33,583│ 133,900 Kentucky │ 1│ 170│ 10│ 7│ 3│ 5,559│ 39,000 Louisiana │ 1│ 578│ 30│ 17│ 13│ 20,885│ 150,000 Mississippi│ 4│ 843│ 47│ 38│ 9│ 32,489│ 172,400 North │ │ │ │ │ │ │ Carolina │ 5│ 826│ 52│ 16│ 36│ 30,000│ 394,920 South │ │ │ │ │ │ │ Carolina │ 2│ 484│ 21│ 17│ 4│ 13,626│ 53,900 Tennessee │ 1│ 285│ 21│ 14│ 7│ 12,537│ 54,000 Texas │ 1│ 223│ 20│ 14│ 6│ 12,792│ 103,500 Virginia │ 1│ 115│ 13│ │ 13│ 788│ 35,900 ───────────┴───────┴──────────┴─────┴─────┴─────┴──────────┴───────────
