A great educational work Is being ac-
complshed In the world today, he said,
by public spirited people. in the found
/ ing and endowing OF institutions OF
learning. Many OF the leading institu-
tons OF the world, both educational and
charitable, are maintained wholly or In
| part through the llberality OF such peO-
pie as Andrew Carnsg e John d. Rocke-
Teller, Mrs Hearst, Miss Gould Mr.

others. Among the American people,
composed Of peoples from all parts OF
/ the world, are found some OF leading
lights Of civilization, this was largely
| due 10 amalgamation OF the various
nationallties composing the American
commonwealth, TO which was also due
it's strength and power. Utah, he said,
was especially fortunate in this re-
spect, because OF the many sturdy and
leading natlonalities represented in the
make up OF It's people. Here We are
different in certain degree from other
| States, In the fact that most Of the peO-
pie OF Utah are actuated by one COM
mon impulse. are united and become
thoroughly AmerlcanIzed, and are not
nationally divided as foreigners are In
measure compelled TO be In other
States, where they flock by themselves.
and the people Of each nationality have
certain quarter for themselves. He
referred TO the educational work OF the
missionaries who go TO the various
parts Of the earth; not only do they
disseminate the divine truths OF the
Gospel but they gain much valuable

with them. To accomplish the greatest
good and receive the greatest benefit
from their experience II Is necessary
that these missionaries start out with
a good education, that they may be able
TO cope with the world intelligently.

ute to the purchasing Of such great
necessity for the academy.
