"Speer Arithmetic was the first sub
ject treated. Professor C. j. Jensen of
Mt. Pleasant introduced the subject in
an instructive manner This author,
Speer, has written a book OF ar:thme
tic in which preliminary mathematical
work IS largely taught by the much
used and sometimes much abused OBJ
ject method. The lecturer himself gave
some experiments of his own contriy-
ing with apparatus of his own manu-
facture.
A quartette, composed of Messrs. An
derson, Bowden, Greene and Larsen,
of the Choral Union, rendered a rich
selection.
Professor N E. Moves, principal of
the SanDete stake academy at Eph
rain, was introduced and gave a lee
tuTe on Literature and Its Influence
On the Student" His principal point
was that education of the head alone
does not save the youth of the land
from immoral living-the experiment
having been made extendedly in France
and England. The head and the heart
are two separate domains of education,
and activity and require separate and
distinctive training.
He quoted Plato as saying: BE care
full OF the books in the hands of the
totle: Keep from The child's mind and
sight al that is low and groyeling."
The teachers, he said, were talking
too much OF morals and too little of re-
ligion. We are afraid to say anything
about religion, ard trying to teach
righteousness without d religious basis.
A man with an education without
moral training is worse than a man
with 10 education-a positive detri-
ment to the community.
On motion of r. w. Livingston, it
was decided TO make the monthly in
stitute the official institute for the
year. This action does away with the
annual summer official institute: so
that, as they have visiting educators
at different times during the year at
various points, there will be a greater
number OF people reached.

! ton being pronounced by Professor G.

CONFERENCE Ar ST. GEORGE.
Apostle Woodruff Delivered the Prin.
cipal Discourse.

cipal Discourse.
st. George, Dec. 15.-Stake conference
convened in the tabernacle Sunday, the
18th. Apostle Abraham Owen Woodruff
was present. He attended the Sabbath
school, visiting and addressing each
class separately, pleasing the children
greatly by his kindly manner.
Apostle Woodruff, in his discourse
spoke of the church numbering about
300,00 souls. There We're 10000 alone
in the southern states; that it would
not be long before they would establish
a stake of Zion there.
He dWelt upon the fact that Apostle
Anton H. Lund was going to the holy
land to see if it is not possible to es-
tablish Zion in the old world, and form
plan of gatherings for the Saints in
that part Of the earth.
Great stress was laid upon the word
of wisdom. Missionaries were not to
come from the ranks of smokers and
non-observers of this commandment.
The revelation on this subject was read
in full, and it was pointed out to the
people that this was now an unquali-
fed commandment
A good spirit prevailed throughout
the conference, which was character
lied by excellent singing. The confer
ence was concluded by the choir giving
a party in the social hour, which was
prlhant success, being largely at
tended by the visiting brethren.
Apostle Woodruff is now enjoying a
hunt down at Atkinsville. near st.
George.
