should visit three meetings in a year should be honor-
ably excused and their places be filled by men that
can attend to the work. The increasing interest in our
educational system manifested by the people of
by their attendance at each of the succeeding meetings en-
courages to predict a prosperous career for that and its appendages, the Religion-Classes. As in
so in St. Johns, we organized a Monthly
Churchschool Convention, at which the most of the Dis-
trictschool Teachers, Religion class-Instructors; etc. etc. etc.
are intending to take part. The Saints here have many
evil influences to contend with on account of the close
proximity of the Mexican element, whose degraded
moral and intellectual condition baffles almost belief.
The Principal of the District school, being one of my former
pupils, rquested me to visit his school also. There
had been some friction between the interests of
the Districtschool and of the Academy in the past,
but, I trust, that my labors in that direction have
not been in vain, and all antagonism will be
replaced by mutual cooperation for the good of
the rising generation.
