A though the Bible is the principal textbook, the students are also offered Greek, Hebrew, Yiddish, home econoiwics, manual training, public !■ peaking, gospel music, medical instruction for missionary work, and many other subjects. Nearly 1,600 missionaries are now jjn active service, students from the Institute going out to 87 foreign ejauntries under 134 mission boards.
