Letter from William Budge, 15 June 1898
Paris, Idaho, President W. Woodruff Dear Bro. Understanding that a certain proportion of means is laid aside for School and other educational purposes and believing that our necessities for such help, and claim, is meritorious we herewith pray you, and all others concerned in the disposal of said means to consider the object we have in view; viz. the providing for an advanced education under the influence of the Gospel for the youth of our people, and the prestage the building of such a place of learning will give us as a people whose boarders are over against the Gentiles. We have no advanced School of any kind in this section except our Church School in the winter, which for lack of accomodation is altogether unsatisfactory, as Teachers labor under great disadvan- tages, and few Scholars can be received. Only a very few of the peo- ple is this section, or in Star Valley, or in all the region round about are able to send their children to more distant places to School, and realizing that hundreds of the Youth as naturally bright and intelligent who are poor, labor in consequence under disadvan- tages, we desire to bring the aopportunities for education as near as possible to them. To erect a suitable house of such dimensions as is necessary to accomodate this section of country requires a large outlay, and although the disposition of the people is very generally favorable to it, available means is scarce and we have come to a stopping place—at least for the present—unless we can get some help. The first story is up and the joists on, and we have all the material for the second story on hand. The Building is on the hill west of the town and occupies a site unsurpassed for beauty in all
