Letter from George Chandler Parkinson, 12 June 1893
Preston, Idaho, ^Franklin Idaho^ President Wilford Woodruff Dear Brother! I have heard it intimated that no appropriation will be made to church schools this season, and as we are on the eve of engaging teachers for the ensuing school year we should be glad to receive information from you on this matter before entering into such contracts in behalf of the Stake Academy or Franklin Seminary. We employed the services of five teachers ^in the Academy^ during the whole of the school yrear which closed last Friday June 9 [18]93 arend are making every effort to in our power to make the institution a success and a credit to the cause. At the recent school election held in this state June 5th our people were permitted to vote, and a majority of school trustees are consequently "Mormons." This means the en- gagement of Mormon teachers and a new impetus in districts schools and as the tuition and textbooks are made free throughout the state it will make it very difficult for our church schools to thrive although the stake Academy enjoys an excellent reputation, and will draw patronage by reason of its superior advantages and the great desire on the part of the people to maintain such an in- stitution at home and to fail in receiving an appropriation now would bring utter disaster toand discouragement. Trusting the way may opened for the maintainance of our schools and awaiting, with much anxiety your earliest pleasure. I am Your Bro. in the Gospel Geo. C. Parkinson.
