to start it at once successfully. For Fillmore some one else
will be found to commence his educational experience in
our Church school system for the present there.
Bro. Spori's educational attainments are very creditable,
he is also a very faithful Elder, has linguistic requirements,
and will be of valuable assistance tin the cause. In regard
to our methods of teaching and his English, he rightly sug-
gests a course of training for a season, proposing to attend
the Normal Dept. of Logan College under Bro. Tanner, for
the purpose. As it concerns the principalship of a contem-
plated Academy, I should have preferred to have Bro. Spori
directly with me here in Provo, not intimating, however,
by that, in the least an insufficiency in the Normal Course
at Logan, but I should be happy, if you I could be ac-
quainted personally with everyone of these Principals and
of his manner of doing things, as then I should be able
to make a more thorough estimate of the standing and
work of each school and report to you accordingly in the future.
You please to take this matter into consideration and instruct
Bro. Spori as you think best.
