the guidance Of the pastor. Rev. w. T.

CHANGE IN GORDON ACADEMY.
Lack of Financial Support Compcls
Trustees to Order ITS Discontinuancc

4. e ] i y d /. r Re y . q 2
Plans are in contemplation for a
radical, though temporary change in
the conduct OF Gordon academy dur
ing the coming scholastic year. It is
proposed to allow the Young Wo-
men's Christian association to occupy
Gordon hall for dormitory and Social
purposes, and to use Hammond hall
as a night school in connection with
its work. Then in the daytime, it is
proposed to allow the present corps of
teachers to conduct school work on
their own account. Then by another
year there may be a establishment
of the regular academy work as in
the past,
The reason OF this move is the lack
of endowments, the attendance not
being large enough to meet the run
ming expenses OF the academy. The.
absence of endowments might have
been endured for the present had the
general education board of the Con-
gregational church continued the con-
tribution which it has made annual
( ly ever since the establishment of the
academy in 1874. But the board noti-5
fed the trustees recently that it had
decided TO discontinue its financial
support. as il desired to give the
money for educational purposes else
where, and the Salt Lake institution
would therefore have TO raise the nee
essary funds from some other source.
This notification brought matters to a
head Immediately, and plans We're at
once proposed for bridging over the
difficulty.
The Salt Lake Collegiate institute
tPresbyterian) proposed a few years
ago a union of the two institutions,
but this WAS rejected. The Y, w. c.. a.
scheme is believed to be the best that
can be suggested at present. as this
will preserve some semblance to the
academy through next year, and in
the course of the next Il months tho
trustees believe they can make such
representations to the friends of edu-
cation under Congregational auspices
throughout the country as will bring
to the academy such sums as may be
devoted to endowments. and thus en-
able the trustees to re-establish Cor
don academy on a permanent and ac-
ceptable basis.
