In addition to the 37 church schools reported Sept. 20, there is another
one to be placed on the list, namely a Church school at Fremont,
Sevier Stake, Piute Co. in charge of Miss Arretta Young, concerning
the ^to be^ recognized grade of which school I respectfully ask your in-
struction. I have visited the Church schools at Nephi, Provo, Huntington, Castle Dale, Cottonwood, 14 Ward, 18 Ward, and
the L. D. S. College since the opening of the school season, met
with the Seventies, Boards, and in several instances also
with the people of the respective districts in public meetings.
Several schools have started in August, some in September,
some before Conference in October, and some intend star-
ting Oct. 13 and 20. The establishment of special theological
classes for children not attending church schools has been made
one of the subjects of my remarks to the people. A course of
instructions from the General Board is one of the essential
requirements for this movement. In connection with
this I recommend also to the General Board the imme-
diate consideration of the report of the Ladies’ Committee.
In consideration of the importance of vocal instructions
in our church schools, I have requested that all Lady-
Normals in our Normal classes should make that
branch one of their specialties.
