There are 42,000,000 people living in the nine eastern
states of the nation. This represents 2 5% of rhe total popu-

At the present time in these nine states there is not a
single school conducted by our brethren to provide a good
Christian secular education
There is a valiant effort being made to establish an out-
standing Christian school in Pennsylvania. The effort is
known as the Northeastern institute tor Christian F.duca

Since that time the question has been going through
