V. IV. & III Readgrades, but comparitavely very far behind
in their studies for want of opportunities to have
an education. The Records of all the churchschools in Arizona have been kept in a rather lose manner thus

exact reports concerning their work. An appointment
had been made for me, Saturday, Dec. 5, to attend the
Quarterly Primary Conference at Central Ward, halfways

up contrary to the Spirit of the Gospel and our mutual
aims. Sunday fore and afternoon meetings for all the
Saints in the Stake had been announced at Pima.
