the school named, tho students, undef
certain conditions. are allowed u free
choice OF subjects. These subjects, in
stead OF being grouped into so-called
courses, arc arranged according to the
year in which they may be taken. That
is TO say, all the subjects arc placed
in four groups-first year studies, sec
'ond year, and so forth. The only
limitations In the matter OF choice Is
the natural oneSof inability to take an
advanced subject until the elementary
one shall have been studied The only
prescribed subjects are theology during
all four years and English during two
years. Tho virtue OF the courses is
guarded by n carefully arranged set
Of prerequisites which, as stated, are
in each case natural. A student, for
example, is not permitted to take sec
ond year English or German until he
has had the first year in the subject;
but only, however, because he lacks
the power. even il he have the in
clination, to carry the subject.
The condition spoken of under which
the student is allowed his freedom OF
choice in subjects is that there must be

account Of various conditions which 1t
is not necessary to enter upon here
IT should be added here that the Church
parts whatever is done by the state
in education. All that is designed is
to supplement that work, to do what
the state is not permitted to do-name-
W to teach religious truths in the
schools, and this supplemental work is
done mainly at Il time When it is most
seryiceable il, establishing religious be-
lief. There is never anything but the
best harmony as between educators in
the state schools and educators i'll the
Church schools.
OF course, the main purpose of all
educative means used by the Church is
to inculcate the theology and religion
of the I.attcr-day Saints. To this end
classes in theology are held four times
q week throughout the year for as
many years as are required for gradua-
ton. In the high schools, for instance,
the first years course OF study in
cludes a careful study of the Book Of
Mormon, the second oil the Old IeSta-
ment, the. third of the New Testament
and the fourth OF the history of tho
Church in our own day. To be sure,
theology is taught in the Sunday
schools, the Primary organizations, and
the Young Mems and Young Ladies'
Improvement associations outside Of
the schools. But in each case it is more
or less isolated, set apart by itself; Il
has not generally that vital connection
with otAer things in the boys or the
girls life. At any rate, it often seems
so 10 young persons. In the Church
schools, on the contrary theology, re-
ligion has Il vital connection with
everything the young man or the
young woman does. They study alge-
bra, history, literature and so on. il
not indeed from the point of view of
the higher truth furnished BY religion,
at least under the direct influence OF
that truth. And this is much.
DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES.
As auXiliaries to the religious spirit of
the school may be counted the general
devotional exercises, the priesthood

science, and in all other forms of man

practical utility. to those who shall
have learned them. So, too, with such

RIGID DISCIPLINE.
Scholarship, too, is highly regarded
by the Mormons. They appreciate the
fact that before such men as Morse and
Edison are possible some one must dis

dppiS. encouragement is given to the
study Of the arts and sciences. To
bring about higher aims in this dircc-
ton the general superintendent two
years ago called a convention, which
adopted uniform textbooks through
out the Church schools, and which dis
cussed also ways and means of bring
ing scholarship TO higher uniform
standard. The measure of skill and ef-
1iciency in the teacher is being CON
stantly increased, and, of course, the
salaries are raised III proportion More
over, in the secondary schools the pro-
portion of male to female teachers rs
greater than that in other schools or
similar grade in the country. The stu
dents are held down to their work by
a system of discipline more rigid than
has hitherto prevailed. Even in the
subject of theology where laxity of
preparation, recitation, and method is
easier than in more intellectual sub
jects, the study is made to yield it's
full quota of mental discipline

al singing, and, generally, Il short adj
dress on appropriate subjects either by
one of the teachers or somebody invited
from without. These exercises last only
from 10 to 20 minutes. After there is
special music, vocal or instrumental.
Then, again, the male portion of the
school meet in priesthood capacity,
and occasionally for instruction on
topics suited only for the needs of
young men. The girls likewise meet
separately for special instruction on
things that concern only their sex.
DOMESTIC ORGANIZATION.
The domestic organizations deserve
particular mention. In all the Church
schools there are many who come from
a distance and who reside only tenn
porarily in the place where the school
Is situated. These need and get special
attention. Inconvenience, discourage
ments, temptations, sometimes arise
consequent upon the young people De
ing away from home. Hence. there are
in all the schools domestic organiza-
lions. 50 called, according to which such
students as have not their permanent
residences in the town are visited by
their teachers. at the Provo univer-
sity, which is the mother educational
institution in the Church, this organi-
cation has been made very efficient in
looking after the needs of the large
number Of students that attend that
school from outlying towns,
PRACTICAL WORK,
Because the Church schools have for
their main purpose the teaching of
spiritual truth, it does not follow that
they emphasize this at the sacrifice or
other branches of learning On the
contrary, scholarship general efficiency,
technical skill, receive their due pros
portion Of attention. Thus is avoid
ed that narrowness which often re-
suits from UNCONVENTIONAL schools.
In those departments, for example,
which are commonly termed "prgctical,
the work done is of a high grade of ex-
cellence. Specially skilled Instructors
are employed in wood ana iron work,

City, the most central place, which
all the instructors i'll the schools are
required to attend The main subject
of discussion, of course, is either bet
ter methods of presenting theological
studies or some subject finding It's
roots in this one. The reason for do
ing this is that the teachers in the
Church schools are expected and urged
to join the public teachers associa-
tons In the localities where they live
and to take part whenever they can in
tons 80 that, IL this be done, they will
have had the full benefit OF the regular
state and county associations of ub-
lie school teachers, leaving to the
Church school convention such topics
of consideration as are peculiar to
them.
UNITY AMONG STUDENTS.
Under this system of education there
is q larger opportunity for individual
work than is afforded in non-religious
schools. by reason of the strong spirit
ual atmosphere that prevails here
brotherly love is established be-
tween students on the one hand
and between teachers and stu
dents on the other. In theology, for
instance, teachers may get into closer
relations with their pupils than they.
can in any other subject, and closer
here In these other subjects than where
similar conditions do not prevail. And
after all this Is what counts in the long
run--close personal contact of the stu
dent with instructors who are worthy
men and women. But this personal re-
lation between teacher and pupil has
its influence through the school; its
wholesome tonic is felt in all the
classes.
ELECTIVE SYSTEM.
This year there is an experiment on
foot at the Latter-day Saints univer-,
sity. The elective system is put on
trial. Formerly, as now elsewhere in
the Church schools, a boy or girl could
choose his course, but not his subjects.
Subjects come in groups called the
English course, the classical course, the
commercial course, and so on, one Of

Church and none can lay

This statement would doubtless be sur
prlsing to those who have been accus-
toned to regard Mormonism as synony-
NOUS with ignorance, lack of progress
and materialisin. Nevertheless 1t is
true The saints have succeeded in
making religion aud education practice

their highest sense. Life to them means
an unfolding of all the powers Of man

this development MS full and complete

efficiency not only in this life but also
in the life to come. "a man is saved

clared the founder of Mormonisn1
Joseph Smith. And the whole OF what
this Church stands for has been couch
ed in the proverbial expression, "Eter-
