/ ne end " the first term. since when
time Brother rbiiip Maycock, n mem.
her u that department, has acted hS
monitor under my direction. The
class work of this department Is taou-

In this department were con iucted,

teen weekly sessions, by two teachers;
during the second torn there were
fifteen classic, with 81 sessions, con-
Quoted by six teachers.
The theology glasses Of the academic.
and normal departments, conducted
separately during the flgt term, were
combined during the second, pursuing
the study OF Church chronology.
Most Of the students Of this depart.
meut have been pursuing either the
Junior or senior course IN theory OF
teaching; OF these thirteen have gtsdu-
nted In the former course and eleven
Ia the latter. Certinaht have been
issued TO these, recommending them
respectively 10 the primary and the
Intermediate grade Of the Church
school service. Most Of those graduat'
ing In the senior course are last years
Junior graduates, although three have
pursued with success both the Junior

Of students have been admitted TO this
department free OF charge, under the
appropriation made by the Church,
each one thus privileged having provi.
ously signed statement OF compliance

gradually EXTENDED TO meet the re-.
quifements OF advancing educational

The regular work Of the
THEOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION
has beed pursued as before, with the
exception that under your direction an
important change WAS maize In our
manner OF closing the days session aud
Incidentally In the time Of calling GER
tain theological meetings. Our devo.
tIonal exercises ut the close Of the day
have been suspended, and the students
permitted to leave the college i'm.
meiiatcly upon the completion Of their
class work.
Asa result, the Priesthood meetings
and general theological classes, pre-.
vilusly held after the regular work OF
the DAY, have been convened In the
morning during the regular time Of
the theology recitation. and have nj
ternated with the tearing OF testi-
monies In the various theology classes.
Our Acknowledgements are due to
Elder George Reynolds, who, rs In the
two years Immediately preceding this,
has rendered valuable aid to our AGA
demlc theology class by conducting its
study Of the Book Of Mormon.
THE SINGING
was conducted by Prof. Evan Stephens
during the early part OF the year. bu,
upon his resignation, which took Of
feet In the first term, this work was
entrusted to Instructor Richard Hasg,
who, Ia the face OF many discour
agements, has maintained the excel
lent standard OF the schools congrega'
tional singing. Asa rcsult Of our syr
tenn OF congregational sluglng, THU
exercise has psrtaken OF a more highly
devotional character than would have
been possible II participation therein
had been restricted 10 the few. Mise
