Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 5 October 1893
Provo, President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, In consequence of the great diversity in the nomenclature of Grades, Departments, and Classes, in many of our church- schools, a great confusion in this respect had arisen, ma- king an estimate of their comparative standing and labors on my part and a subsequent correct report to the General Board almost impossible. To obviate this difficulty for the future, Church School Papers, No. 20, Juv. Instr. April 15, last, recommended this subject with several others to the consideration of all churchschool teachers, pre- paratory to discussion at our Annual Convention. The Annual Convention met at the Brigham Young Academy, Provo, August 14, at 11 A.M. The proceedings of that Convention are reported in the Church School Papers, No. 23, Juv. Instr. Sept. 1st. After much discussion of the above stated point, it was decided to refer it to the Board of Examiners for the formulation of a mode of nomen- clature, to be complied with by all our churchschools, as soon that mode of nomenclature should have obtained the sanction of the General Board of Education.

Elder Ridges being appointed to the Australian district continued his voyage by the same boat, after a five hours rest in Auckland. We will require ^by return and mail,^ £60.0.0 as return fares of Elders R. G. Miekle and D. B. Stewart whom we expect to release to go home by the next departure of the "Monowai," which will be Decr 28th. "The Ready References" have been prepared for publication and placed in the hands of the printer, the first bound coppies of which we may expect by the last of Decr. Money has already been collected for the printing and by the time the first lot is bound we will probably have enough in hand to meet our obligations therefor. After the sale of the first thousand ^coppies,^ it will be on a safe business footing. We have agitated, to some extent, the purchasing of a small printing press, for the purpose of issuing a paper in the maori language and, the printing of what tracts we may need in the mission. The idea meets with univer-
