Foot-Notes for Table 2

Section 1

(a) The system of educational work outlined by the Educational Department of the General Conference in 1906, comprising sixteen grades, or years of study, is arranged as follows: Church-schools (information concerning which will be found listed under columns 28 to 32 in Table 1), grades 1-8; intermediate schools, grades 7-10; academies, grades 9-12; colleges, grades 13-16.
(b) In compiling the returns, fractions of acres were not included, thus omitting institutions located on small plots, such as city lots.
(c) The “capacity” of schools is the number of students that may be accommodated in classes, and does not refer to dormitory or boarding accommodations provided.
(d) The grades taught by each should indicate the kind of work undertaken, as outlined in note (a).
(e) Estimated.
(f) In the column indicating laboratory facilities the word “No” occurs where the schools have none; the word “Yes” is used in connection with schools having such facilities. These facilities cover lines of work in various schools as follows: Astronomy, chemistry, physics, histology, zoology. Schools having facilities for manual training are indicated by “Yes” in corresponding column; those not having such facilities are listed with “No” opposite. These facilities range as follows: Carpentry, cooking, farming, dairying, nursing, printing, plumbing, horticulture, dress-making, tent-making, broom-making, brick-making, etc.
(g) In the columns indicating graduates will be found the number that have been graduated from various schools the preceding year. Graduation in grades other than those noted in column heading is designated by foot-notes.
(h) Column 18 shows the number of students (not graduates alone) entering some department of denominational work during the preceding year.
(i) From tenth grade.
(j) Four were graduated from fourteenth grade, three from sixteenth.
(k) Two in thirteenth grade.
(l) From nurses' course.
(m) Including five from other grades, as music, business, elementary normal, and nurses.
(n) From fourteenth grade.
(o) Seven from fourteenth grade; one from thirteenth.
(p) Assets, etc., included under Loma Linda Sanitarium.
(q) Pukekura School burned Dec. 23, 1912, and pending insurance settlement no statement can be prepared. Books of account were destroyed, hence amount of assets stated in columns is from former report.

A Study of Figures

NOTHING will prove more interesting than a study of the statistical reports published in this number of the REVIEW. As an aid to this study Brother H. E. Rogers has furnished us with the following list of questions, answers to which may be found in the statistical tables. The answers to these questions might be made a most interesting exercise in the family circle, the Sabbath-school, or the missionary service of the church. These reports are well worthy of a study which they do not receive on the part of our people generally. Hunt out the answers to the questions; doing so, you will glean much valuable information concerning our church work in its various departments:—
1. How many local conferences have been organized?
2. How many organized mission fields are operated by the church?
3. How many Seventh-day Adventist evangelistic laborers are there in the world? What proportion is in the United States? and how many are outside this country?
4. How many organized churches do we have? and what is their membership?
5. What is the total number of communicants now belonging to this body?
6. What has been the gain during the past eight years?
7. How much does the denomination now raise annually for all lines of evangelistic work?
8. How much per capita is this for each member?
9. Give the number of church-schools and advanced schools.
10. What has been the total investment in all denominational schools?
11. How many teachers are employed in educational work?
12. How many students were sent out from these schools during the past year to join the various ranks of laborers in the field?
13. How many laborers are employed in all our publishing houses?
14. What is the investment in publishing houses? what the amount of annual sales?
15. How many periodicals are now issued, and in how many languages?
16. In how many languages is this work conducted by oral instruction, as well as by the printed page?
17. How many sanitariums and treatment-rooms are now connected with the denomination? How many persons are employed therein?
18. When was the General Conference organized?
19. Is the tithe per capita now greater or less than at any other time in the history of this work?
20. What proportion of all funds raised from the beginning of this work has been tithe?
21. What proportion has been Sabbath-school offerings? foreign mission funds? home mission funds?
22. Give the per cent of funds raised in the United States; outside the United States.
23. Since 1878, what has been the amount of Sabbath-school contributions? what amount has been donated to mission work?
24. What proportion is devoted to mission work at the present time?
25. Which is greater, the membership of Sabbath-schools or of churches?
26. What is the per capita amount of Sabbath-school contributions annually?
27. What proportion of the church-membership are members of young people's societies?
28. In how many countries of the world is this work now being conducted?
29. Do you recognize the extension of this work as a fulfilment of prophecy?
30. Are you doing all you can to assist in extending to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people the principles of this message?
