Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 6 November 1890
Provo City, President Wilford Woodruff, Dear Brother, Since the opening of the present academic year, I have visited the Church schools in Emery, Sanpete, Juab, Utah, and Salt Lake Stakes. In the first one of these, I found the Seminary at Huntington, James E. Brown, Principal, in a very satisfactory condition, there were already in the fourth week of its organization 42 pupils, all of the IV and V Reader Grades in attendance. No Lady-Teacher as yet, but called for since then, and will arrive there, probably, next week. Large attendance anticipated for the winter season. Bro. Brown is a great favorite with the people. The stake Academy at Castle Dale, Bro. Eli A. Day, Principal, has only 16 stu- dents. Bro. Day was not sufficiently familiar with our system, but is a faithful and hardworking teacher. I posted him some and made arrangements with him and Bro. Brown to meet often and harmo- nize their labors. Both schools in that Stake have separate houses to meet, Huntington ^Seminary^ being somewhat more conveniently fixed than the Stake Academy at Castle Dale. Both Boards are current- ly working for the good of their respective schools. In Sanpete I had the pleasure in assisting at the inaugura tion of the Seminary at Manti, Andrew C. Nelson, Principal, of the Seminary at Gunnison, Joseph Y. Jensen, Principal. Manti Seminary opened with 76 students, and miss Flora Bean
