Letter from James Zebulon Stewart, 21 July 1888
Logan, Utah,
Prest. Wilford Woodruff.
Salt Lake City.
Dear Brother,
On Tuesday of this week, July 17th
Bros. W. G. Reese, L. R. Martineau, S. M. Molen
M. W. Merrill Jr. and I were appointed by the
Stake Presidency to act as a Stake Board of
Education and we had an informal
meeting on the evening of the 18th, and
read the letter from the General Board and
discussed its contents.
As we already have one Church School
(the Brigham Young College), in this stake
we did not feel that it would be necessary
to consider the organization of a Stake Academy,
but we felt that if Church Schools could be
established in the principal settlements (cities)
in the Stake that many hundreds who are not
qualified to enter the College could be given
the benefits of religious instruction, as also
many others who could not possibly afford
to attend the College even though qualified
