the fire started on the lower or second
floor near the stairway. and the blaze
followed the stairs to the top of the
building. When the roof fell a number
of bricks landed on the Tibbett home

cause much damage. The blaze reached
the house. but was promptly extinguished
before any damage had been caused. Sew

alley and threatened the destruction of
the house there. but the tiremen managed
to save it. On account of the headway
the fire had gained by the time the fire
men reached the building it was impossi-
BILE for them to gain access to the upper

from ladders. Finally the roof and two
floors fell in, but fortunately only a

has ever manifested the same deep
spirituality that characterized Dr.
Maeser In which connection it may
be remarked that DR.. Maeser's policy
of selecting teachers especially for
their spiritual mindedness has served
to keep alive and foremost this su-
preme characteristic of the school
In that day the genius of the school
was referred to simply as the Spirit
of God, or the testimony of the Cos
pei. The teachers knew that it had
definite relationship of regenera-
ton to all sides of the students char
acter without troubling themselves as
to just what the relationship was. To-
day the spirit of analysis has more
definitely laid it bare; and perhaps
l cannot do better than to quote, as
exhibiting the present objective of
the school, the following passage
from recent address by Prof. N. L.
Nelson:
"From that highest truth in our re-
ligion, viz, The glory of God is in
telligence,' and the next highest truth
that we are exalted in the degree
that we become perfect as God is
perfect, if follows, that we are saved
in other words, that we accumulate
in ourselves the glory of God, only
as we gain intelligence. This thot
is reinforced by some pregnant say
ings of the Prophet Joseph Smith:
viz.
No man can be saved in ignor-
ance' and "A man is saved no taste.
than he gains intelligence 1t be-
comes therefore of prime Importance
TO know what intelligence is"
BY series of well-chosen illustra-
tions, Prof. Nelson shows that in
telligence is knowledge wrought into
character in terms of righteousness
the daily building up of virtue under
the influence of the spiritual life.
knowledge, the lesser because the
easier half, might be called the seed
OF intelligence; the other half, the
habit of righteousness, is the seed
become tree and fruit. 1t is time the
void were changing it's time-honored
saying, knowledge is power for this
maxim is true only of knowledge dis
tributed, knowledge apperceived. A
truer maxim is the motto adopted
tor this school; viz, Character is
power
1T is necessary to realize, in the
next place, that intelligence covers
much wider range of power than
mere intellectually. Indeed, wher-
ever knowledge of truth may be fol-
lowed by habits of righteousness,
there intelligence-the glory of God
may accrue to man.
This happens. first of all on tn
physical plane. Physical intelligence

of the former, or the exquisite love
and tenderness of the latter, will new
er forget the experience. 1t probab-
ly proved the dawning of new life
for him.
Consider next what were the prob
lens before this great teacher When
he first began, only twenty-nine STU
denis came to him and most of these
were in the grades. Interest in high
er education had practically to be
created throughout Utah, and, to this
mission he bent his energies during
vacations. Hundreds of prominent
men in the west today, date their in
tellectual awakening to lecture of
this vnerable educator in some OBJ
scure country village
Consider next the fact that he had
no assistant teachers for high school
work, save as he first educated them.
Naturally, he had to choose the least
raw of his students and make them
tutors over the rest; taking occasion
after school hours to hold a special
class for their benefit, and so gradu-
ally building up faculty.
Moreover, if his work was to Sue
coed among the people he must make
district school teachers of every avail
able young man and young woman
who came under his tuition. Accord
ingly, from the very first he had large
normal classes, and so it happened
that they whose torch of life had
been kindled in Brother Maeser's
spiritual warmth and light, were soon
placed where they could most effect
ually enkindle spirituality in others.
By such methods did this single
hearted man help powerfully in deep
ening the currents of spirituality; a
movement mich has gone on since
then with celebrating force, and to
winch, more than to any other fac
tor, the Mormon church today owes
its phenomenal strength and unity.
DR.. Maeser stood at the head of the
Brigham Young Academy-for so it
was called in his day-for seventeen
years; viz, from 1875 to 1892, when
he was succeeded by Prof Benz.
Cuff, one of his foremost students,
who had in the meanwhile taken post
graduate courses in the Michigan
University. Under the latter's ad-
ministration, the school was vastly ex-
banded and its courses of study mod
ernized and placed in touch with the
best secondary schools of America.
Collegiate courses were also added,
whence the change of name from aca-
denny to university.
Prof. Cuff resigned the presidency
in 1908, and was succeeded by DR.. G.
H. Brimhall, a man whose greatness
as an educator consists in the fact
that, while he has preserved and deep
ened the intellectual impress left up

stands for a somewhat unique aspect
in education. The circumstances un-
der which it was founded, the influ.
ence of its first great teacher, DR..
Kali G. Maeser, and the stress of
pioneer needs, all +ended to make il
peculiarly sui generis. Nor has it
ever hestated to strike out boldly
in the direction of its self-chosen
mission, without stopping to ask
wherein it conceded with, wherein it
differed from, secondary schools in
general. AS a consequence, its stu
dents everywhere exhibit traits Of
character which no mere intellectual
training could give-traits which have
served to emphasize the institution,
even among schools of its kind, for
certain distinctive qualities in human
evolution.
But before noting what these quail
ties are, it may be we'll to take a
glance at the need out of which the
school grew.
Although education was among the
foremost consideration of the Pho
neers-a fact attes'ed by the invari-
able log school house in every early
settlement, it is needless 70 point out
that for the first quarter of century
the teachers with few exceptions,
were unprepared by previous normal
training, and consequently the studies
were confined to rather element
airy knowledge of the three RS. High
school education was confined to
very thinly attended classes in the
Deseret University, since called the
University of Utah. Culture in the
modern sense was rare among young
people of those early days; for tho
contact with pioneer conditions I'M
doubtedly gave a certain rough
strength of character, it tended inev-
ildDly W Ddi 1911 III
conduct. Moreover, the influx of
miners and overland freighters added
profanity and vulgarity to the &C
irements of such as were beyond
the pale of religious influences, not
. to mention the vices of chewing,
smoking and drinking.
But the most alarming character
istic-of which, indeed, rude manners
and vicious habits were but sporadic
symptoms-was the tendency among
the younger people to swing away
from spiritual mindedness in the d.
rection of mere externalism, even in
matters of religion, a condition al
most inevitable, when one considers
that battling with rugged nature for a
mere subsistence, occupied the whole
time and energy of both body and
mind.
1t was to meet such a condition
that Brigham Young founded the
school at Provo, and short time
later the college bearing his name
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-12-21

was particularly fortunate in the
choice of a principal. Dr. Maeser,
although graduate of German uni
versity, and of such high intellectual
attainments as to hold the position
of president of dominent college in
Dresden at the time he was convert
ed to Mormonism, was yet, like Nath-
aniel of old, man of child-lke faith,
and of spirituality so intense as to
warm his heart and cause his counten-
ance to glow as with divine fire. His
was pre-eminently the life that bles-
ses all it touches. No man could
have been more ideally fitted to
search the hearts of the rough, but
strong and Wholesome boys and girls
who came to him; and finding there,
buried beneath layer after layer of
germ of eternal life. few men were
ever more ideally fitted to awaken
into being this God-like principle in
the soul of every man.
1t became consequently the central
purpose of his system of education
to kindle in the heart of every stu
dent testimony of the Gospel-for
in such terms do Latter Day Saints
speak of spiritual regeneration, or
the new birth. If the divine in man
could be awakened. it would mould
and shape the character so as to
slough all its crudities, whether they
be physical, moral, social or intel
lectual. His method was to strike
through the rock of indifference I'M
til the spiritual fountain should gush
forth; and not be content in merely
directing rills of knowledge into
cistern. Whoever responded to this
method-and most of his students
did-became exemplars of a loving
religion, not mere dogmatists defend
ing external rites and ceremonies. 1t
is for this reason that the alumni of
the B. Y. University have exercised
so profound an influence on their CO.
religionists wherever they have gone
But while the development of the
spiritual life was The salient objective
of his system, let not the reader
make the mistake of thinking his
methods were of the softly persua-
sive type. Such methods would have
failed ingloriously or resulted, as
they always do, in the making of
sniveling religious hypocrites. On
the contrary, Dr. Maeser was intense
ly practical, always beginning in the
men al regions where his students
lived, and thence gradually awaken
ing faculties that were dormant; and
so far from soft-soap methods OF
discipline, he had oftener occasion to
WELD the iron fist than caress with
the velvet glove; or rather his meth.
cd was to use both these disciplines
in turn, and whoever was blessed
