Photographic World Carries an Inter-
csting Illustrated Article as Leader.

In the January issue of the Phono-
graphic World and Commercial School
Review, published at 90 Duane street,
New York. is an article by F w OF
terstrom, the official reporter of the
Mormon Church. on his work in that
capacity. This article Is made the
feature of this number of the World,
the outside cover drawing attention to
the Otterstrom article in these words
in large letters: "In this number re-
porting the Mormons, Don't fail to
read It."
The editor of the World is E. N
Minor. president of the National Com
merclal Teachers Federation, embrac-
Ing five national associations. Mt OF
terStrom sayS for years he has been
an active, earnest worker In promoting
the interests of commercial school
work. his magazine being the official
organ OF the National Federation.
While in the east a few years ago Mr..
Otterstrom met Editor Miner, and
through this chance acquaintance the
former was requested to send the mag
azlne an article concerning reporting
among the Mormons.
Among the things of general interest
in the article the following are found:
You Will. no doubt be surprised to
learn that sermon reporting In this
Church began. on q small scale, soon
after the invention of photography.
Numerous public addresses OF the Pro-
phet Joseph Smith, during the years
prior to his martyrdom in 1874. were re-
ported and published. l have before
me the report OF an address made June

this notation, Reported by Willard
Richards and Wilford Woodruff
These gentlemen were in England do
ing missionary work for the Church
from 1887 to 1S41. and l presume learn
ed photography during that time: at
any rate, they used it soon after 1910.
From 1851 to the present time the
Church has had in its employ profess
sonal shorthand men taking full re-
port OF annual and semi-annual con-
ferences of the Church.
