FOREIGN MISSION BOARD 273
this time they are on their first furlough, and also Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Ramsour
and Mr. and Mrs. Fay Askew (Argentina). Mr. Orrick sends the following
report: "Fortunately most of the churches were manned by competent pastors
and the work went on in a more or less normal way during the furlough
absences. Mr. Carlisle has, during his first term of service, planted in one of
the most difficult sections of Montevideo a church which promises to become a
fine work. We now have three Baptist churches in this city which boasts a
population of at least three-fourths of a million souls. We need a dozen more
Baptist churches in this great city which offers so great an opportunity for
evangelization. How grateful we are for the appointment of Mr. and Mrs.
McMurray to work in this freedom-loving country which offers us perfect liberty
to work and preach the gospel.
Mr. and Mrs. Goldfinch left their great field of Saito and surrounding towns
to go to Paraguay to begin a work there. They opened a large and promising
work during their first term of service, a field that needs urgently the personal
attention of a missionary couple. A church has been established in the beautiful
city of Saito, and promising work established as preaching points or mission
stations in several surrounding places. Brother Charles Tschanz and wife, a
fine Argentine couple, have been left in charge of this work.
EDUCATION
The Seminary
The Seminary in Buenos Aires graduated five of the twenty-one students
enrolled this year. These students come from Chile, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay,
and Argentina. Due to limited dormitory space some had to be turned away
again this year, but we are thankful that next year we shall not thus be handicapped.
We are grateful indeed to the Foreign Mission Board for the funds
that have been granted to provide for a larger dormitory for the Seminary.
Those of our Mission engaged in the work of the Seminary and Institute in
Buenos Aires during the year are: Mr. W. L. Cooper (now president), Mr.
and Mrs. L. C. Quarles, Drs. C. 0. Gillis and W. J. Kilgore, and Miss Beatrice
Glass.
Training School _^
The Training School, which is also located in Buenos Aires, reports a good
year with an enrollment of fourteen students. This year there was only one
to graduate. As it is near the Seminary, both institutions have the same
faculty, and most of the classes are co-educational. They are separate institutions,
yet working together for the same purpose—that of preparing young
men and women for places of leadership in our future work. For four years
Miss Glass has had charge of this phase of our work, and under her effective
guidance the girls have constantly been employed m some practical activity,
working through the churches of the city.
Bible Institute
The Baptist Bible Institute in Rosario reports another splendid year of
work and progress. There have been fourteen boarding students enrolled and
thirteen dav students. This school continues to be under the capable direction
of MrlAnne SoweSI Margrett. She reports as to the practical religious work of
tLTchool- "TheTe were 12,488 tracts distributed last year 486 conversations
with theunsaved 388 Sunday school classes taught, 1 445 visits made, and
Tso parte taken iA different organizations. During the fall and spring special
