for the interest of the institution itself salary ought to be
raised correspondingly. A certain grading of all these schools
would be advisable, in order to give efficient teachers an op-
portunity to be placed by and by into such positions where
they can do the most good.
When Bro. was here the last time, the very
point of feeling on the part of the Board at in case
of his resignation and removal came up, and he assured me
that the bretheren there understood the situation, and could not
blame him after for trying to better himself, after he stood
by them so long. I should propose in case of your approval
of Bro. Greenwood's appointment for ,
that his brother , who has placed himself also at the
disposal of the General Board, and who has been assisting
Alma in that Academy, and also been teaching the district
schools at Fillmore, takes hold of that Academy for
a year, and then you can decide on the future course.
With deep regret I have learned of the death of Bro.
, member of the General Board of Education,
and may God inspire you to find a man to fill his place
in that position as efficient as Bro. Eldredge has done.
Ever praying for God's blessings to rest upon you,
to sustain you in your exalted position, will lengthen out
your days upon the earth for the good of Israel I remain
Your brother in the Gospel
