Letter to Morgan Richards Jr., 29 July 1890
President Morgan Richards, jr.
Parowan.
Dear Brother:
As it will be some weeks before the General Board of Education
can be called together, I have thought it well to acknowledge the receipt of
your favor informing us of the decision of the good people of Parowan to es-
tablish a church school in that city. We are gratified to learn that this
conclusion has been reached, and we trust that when once started the school
will be and continue to be a success.
Regarding Church aid we can give you no assurance that any finan-
cial help can be rendered the Parowan school at present. The Church, owing to
the adverse decisions of the United States courts, is divested of its property,
and its yearly income is not sufficient to meet the current expenses and oblit-
erate outstanding obligations. The policy of the General Board of Education
thus far has been and now is, to aid one church institution in each stake which
by this assistance can employ instructors who can teach^,^ in connection with the
principles of the Gospel^,^ the higher departments^,^ and by this means one high
school can be secured to every stake^,^ where our youth can continue their studies
in those branches of learning not taught in the district schools. It is for
schools of this description that the greatest need is felt by our people and
for which there has been the most pressing demands.
With kindest regards,
Your Brother,
W. Woodruff
