Provo City, July 17 89 President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, The telegram of Bro. Reynolds, concerning those Stakes that have not yet secured Principals was just received. In answer I report as follows: Bannock Stake Academy at Rexburg has not reported, but it is presummed that Bro. Spori with his Assistant, Bro. Nielson, will continue, although the former is just now on the Underground in consequence of the unfortunate test oath trouble ...

In meeting with the Faculty of the B. Y. College, on Mon- day afternoon, I found the Daily Programme ju- diciously arranged, the progress in the exercises re- gistered weekly, and the plans and instructions of the Principal conscientiously observed. A con- traction in the number of instructors for next schoolyear seems to be desired, and Bro. Apperly, who is also County Superintendent of Distr. Schools, intends to retire from the College. On account of the absence of most of the members, a meeting of the ...

of the Programme to suit the reduced number of attendance. The Principal as well as his Assistent, Ms Sadie Tanner, are working by a carefully de- vised Daily Programme, are following closely their laid out Plan, and register their weekly labors acording to instructions. Several classes had to be reconstructed at the beginning of the present term on account of the change of teachers, but it was gratifying to note the readiness with which the students had accommodated them- selves to the new classification. This is the first, or experimental year of ...

Provo City, June 29, 89 President Wilford Woodruff. Dear Brother, Referring to a passage in my letter of the 24th inst. to the Secretary Bro. Geo. Reynolds in regard to Bro. Joshua Green- wood whom I had suggested as Principal of the Box Elder Stake Academy, versa Bro. J. J. Anderson resigned, I beg leave to make following additional reports: Bro.

2. continued could not see their way through. Thirdly, that they had paid Bro. Anderson $60000; 1/2 Cash; 1/4 Mdse; 1/4 Tithing which arrangement had been of considerable benefit to the Academy. As points 2 and 3 hinge on the outcome of point 1, no definite idea presents itself to my mind upon which I could formulate a proposition to Bro. Green- wood, who wants to make his arrangements before the opening of the school year. There is a great deal of crowding upon me just now going on by many of ...

Nephi Tollestrup, a former Normal- student, and just returned from a two-years' mission to Europe; had not reported himself to me for a voluntary finishing course in our Normal Sept. I laid the Mor- gan case before him and he consented to serve there this winter. I have written to Bro. Walch accordingly. Bro. Jos. J. Anderson, at Brigham City ...

Although one of my most trustworthy Normal Graduates has been laboring here for two years as a teacher in the district-school, having been recommended by me for that position, by special request of the Stake Author- ities, it seems that the contrary influences of that place are too much for all our efforts. Bro Hayes, the teacher, reported to me, that ...

Sunday, March 24, addressed a meeting of the Saints at 10 A.M. By special solicitation of the Ward Authorities I permitted Bro. John Johnson, one of this year's Normal Graduates, and a Church- Normal at that, to teach their district-school the coming school year. Elsinore being his home they intend starting a churchschool sooner or later ...

Somehow, however, Bro. Anderson has labored under the disadvantage of suceeding Bro. Isaac Hayes, who had possessed the hearts of the Au- thorities, the pupils, and the people at large, to an unusual degree. He being different from his predecessor, and yet being measured by according to the latter's standard, my difference was charged against him, and some influential men having secretly made up their mind before hand, in spite of my protestation, to have Bro.
