Letter from Karl Gottfried Maeser, 10 February 1897
Salt Lake City, .
President Wilford Woodruff.
Chairman Gen. Board of Education.
Dear Brother,
Since my last report of October 10, 1896 I have visited the
Brigham Young Academy, Provo; the Latterday Saints College;
Salt Lake City, Brigham Young College, Logan; the Weber
Stake Academy, Ogden; S and Sanpete Stake Acadeny, at Ephraim
besides held meetings with Religion Classexercises in many
Wards of Sanpete and Cache Stakes. It is my pleasant duty
to report a reawakening of the interest in our educational
systems both in regard to Churchschools and Religion Classes
not only in the two Stakes named but also in a great
many other Stakes. This statement is based partly upon
my own personal observation and partly upon my
extensive and continuous correspondence.
And these colleges are doing very satisfactory professional
work. The Brigham Young Academy at Provo is a model
institution especially in the socalled Training school.
since this division of the Academy is occupying its new
quarters. I suggest, however, that the ^draft for the^ new plan and Circular
for the next schoolyear be submitted first to a Committee
of the of the Local Board for review & approval
