EDUCATION IN UTAH,

The application to state superInten-
dent Nelson, for copies Of courses Of
study and directions to teachers in
Utah schools, coming from the SuperIn-
tendent Of schools in Manchester, Eng
land, win be something Of a surprise TO
people who are so far behind the times.
as to think that Utah is destitute Of
educational facilities.
1t appears that Superintendent w.
Hood Of Manchester, while visiting the
Paris exposition, saw the Utah educa-
tlonal exhibit, and became greatly i'm
pressed with IT, particularly the kim
dergarten, primary and grammar meth

Gradually, and from various sources,
light is coming TO the world concerning
mormon" affairs II Is difficult to
break through the hard she'll Of preju-
dice, and TO dispense the dense cloud OF
darkness, which have for so long pre-
vented many good people from seeing
"Mormonism" as It is and the Nor
mons as they are. The popular no
ton has been that the leaders Of the
Latter-day Saints were opposed TO gem
eral education, and that only Mormon"
books were permitted In our schools,
whether religious or secular. And Il
is that gross error which has enabled
sectarian preachers 10 gather In the
dollars of the deceived but plous people
under the pretence that II was to he

Utah, and the rescue Of Mormon" chill
dren from ignorance and barbarism.
The public school system OF Utah Is
Of course not a Church institution. It
Is under the control Of the State This
has been so from very early times The
school laws Of Utah, passed by the ter
ritorlal Legislative Assembly, kept the
system separate and apart from the
Church. and provided for taxes to be
levied FOR school purposes Every dis
trict was empowered to decide as to It's
own levy, and whether schools should
be supported partly or wholly by taxa
tion.
OF course our FIRST schools were rather
primitive, both as 20 the buildings
where they were held and to the courses
OF instruction. But they improved
with the growth Of the population,
and the facilities afforded by closer and
more rapid communication with the
outside world. For in those days
everything brought from the East came
by ORLEANS or mule-trains for mofe
than thousand miles over prairles

at immense cost and labor with the ID.

Cardinal doctrines Of Christianity. as
held by those who have been famous az
evangelists and soul winners, are no
longer favorlte themes for sermons.
Sin. as an awful crime against God and
something deserving punishment, Is
rarely dwelt upon. Calvary has been
relegated to the background. The merits
Of the atoning blood Of Jesus Christ are
not dwelt upon by the disciples OF Well
hansen, Repentance Of sin and the
necessity for the new birth, spoken Of
by our Lord to Nicodemus have little

school Instead Of the glorious doc
trines which gave, not only TO giants
like Foster and Simpson, but also to
thousands Of Methodist ministers less
able hut equally faithful to Jesus Christ
and the word Of His truth. such tremen-

we have now too much Of an emasculat-
ed theology which presents Christ as
the typical man, the great eyemplar In
whose footsteps We must follow. There
Is an awful Indifference to what were
regarded by the fathers as some Of the
most important doctrines Of Christian
ity Among the causes Of this state Of
things the extreme higher criticism is
