The object Of the domestic organl2a-
tion is to enable the faculty to have
supervision over the students In their
lives and actions outside of the school
This Is accomplished by organization OF
the students into stakes, made 10 con-
form, when practicable, to the stakes or
the Church, the students, when Il SUI
iicient number Is attending the unlyer-
sty from one stake, being organized
under the name of the stake from when
they come. These stakes are presided
over by president and counselors, ana
assisted by aids and teachers, all chos-
en- from among the students. Ihese
student officers visit the students under
their charge and inquire into their man
ner Of living, their interest In their stu
dies. the observance OF the rules, etc'
After the opening devotional exercises
President Cluff expressed pleasure In
having so large an attendance, ana
stated that after some reports from
the stake presidents the grounds Tor
the preparatory and missionary build
ing which is to be erected on the nortn-
west corner of the block, would be dedl-
Gated.
This was followed by reports from n
number of the stakes presented by tne
presidents, a class OF earnest, energetic
Young men, whose names were not CIV
en- (the stakes only being announced).
The presidents reported the students
generally as being observant OF the
rules of the school, and feeling inter-
ested In their studies. Only few were
reported as not observing the Word OF
Wisdom,

clash between some of the parents ana

need not obey the rules of the school
1t had been the aim of the university
to have all rules OF the school apply
equally to students whose parents i've
in and those who live outside OF Provo.
He expressed the hope that the local
Church authorities would lay this mat
ter before the people in the various
wards and endeavor TO enlist their co.
operation, as the regulations were made
solely for the benefit of students.
