Letter to Francis Asbury Hammond and James B. Decker, 1 June 1893
President F. A. Hammond, and
Sunday School Supt. James B. Decker,
San Juan Stake of Zion:
DEAR BRETHREN: During the last few years the advance made
in the principles of secular education has seemed to demand like
progress in the methods employed in our Sunday Schools in impart-
ing that most important part of all true education—indeed, its
foundation and finish—a knowledge of God and His laws. We
found, however, that owing to the varied conditions by which the
Sunday Schools of the Saints were surrounded and influenced, it was
the wiser policy to "make haste slowly," and not to attempt to bring
about too radical changes as a beginning. One step, nevertheless,
seemed imperative if the schools were to progress, and that was the
introduction of greater uniformity in the manner in which they were
to be conducted. To effect this, an experimental normal course, with
classes of five weeks' duration, was established in connection with
the Brigham Young Academy of Provo. Four different classes of
this course have successively met and through experience therein
gained, a point has now been reached when it is deemed prudent to
take the preliminary steps to extend this system to all the Stakes
of Zion.
