THE LOGAN CITY SCHOOLS.
So much has been said during the
past few years concerning Logan as
an educational center that 1t seems
superfuous to add thereunto. as the
very favorable impression which people
now have Of the educational opportuni-
ties Of the fair city may be weakened
by over-stated praise. In 1892 II was
said Of Logan:
To-day Logan possesses the most
complete, best organized, broadcast,
most comprehensive and energetic or
CARNATIONS In this whole western
world: that IL is today and viii re-
main the leading seat Of learning west
Of the one-hundredth meridian, save
one competitor resting on the edge OF
the waters Of the Pacific some eight
hundred miles away"
A careful writer OF today would hard
~ dare make such assertions OF the
Temple CITY As plain. simple matter
OF fact, Logan nestled at the base OF
the Rockies In the beautiful valley OF
Cache. has almost an ideal location, as
well as very superior natural adyant-
AGES, and Is, OF itself a very beautiful
city. II has been especially favored in
an educational way having located
within It's fair borders the Agricultural
and Brigham Young Colleges, as well
as the New Jersey Academy and other
schools, but II Is not necessarily des-

To be sure the impetus that Logan
has already received will do much for

very large district OF territory. but op-
portunities may come 10 other centers
which may cause them, in very short
time, 10 Outdlstance Logan education
