Provo City, President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, Herewith I submit respectfully the report of my labors in the Second Circuit, the program of which had been previously ap- proved of by you. The Brigham Young Academy, Provo. After having officially notified the Board of Trustees of this institution of my intended visit to the Academy, I spent two days, Jan. 10 & 11, in attending the various exercises of the institution, and met with the faculty at the regular meeting, Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 7 P.M. This Academy surpasses all other church schools not only in the number of its students (over 900 registered up to date) and of its regular teachers (23), but also in the complexity of its organiza- tion and in the amount of labor performed there, in consequence of all of which the influence of that Academy is recognized throughout all the Stakes of Zion. Besides the regular de- partments graded according to Gen. Circ. No. 7, pp. 19 to 21, there are following special organizations: 1. A kindergarten Class with about 30 little ones under 6 years of age, with a Normal training Class for young ladies to prepare themselves for that particular feature of education. 2. A polytechnic Class for training in practical workmanship. There are over 40

Kjøbenhavn, Prest. Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah Dear Brother: I herewith enclose a list of names of persons recommended as being quali- fied and capable of filling missions in Scan- dinavia, and if you deem it proper we would be pleased to have them called and sent to these countries to assist in the work of the Lord. I sent a similar list to Prest. Young at Liver- pool on the 9th Jan., but for some cause it can not now be found there, and, having been mislaid, it has not been forwarded to you. It is therefore by the suggestion of Prest. Young, or the brother at Liverpool having charge of the mission, that I send this list direct to you. It is now very late, but these Elders were intended to have been among the Spring supply of missionaries. You have no doubt by this time been informed of the number of needed for Scandinavia -- 30, (12 Swedes, 8 Norwegians and 10 Danes.) By request of Prest. Young, I also send you a list of notes due this office from parties most by residing in Utah. These amounts have been loaned to the respective parties on their promise of paying same as specified in the notes; some
