Show I Logan, "Temple City of the NoriiF and "Athens of Utah.' Tlio "Temple City of the North" Is applied to Logan because of the fact that one of the four temples of the Latter-day Saints Is located heie, and "Athens of Utah" comes as a natural ' .

The Logan City district school system sys-tem is considered the most thoroughly and effectively oiganlzcd of any noith or Salt Lake City. For pio-fiency, pio-fiency, and the lcsults accomplished, no gi cater things could be hoped for nnrdcsiicd.

The Woodiut: is a magnillcent biick edifice of nine spacious looms located attliecoinei of Fhst. West and Fhst South sticets. An elegant l.tvvn, witli shrubbeiy lends to the attractiveness attrac-tiveness of the institulloii, and the childicn who attend here aic indeed fortunate. Miss Agnes C. Cassldy pies ides over this school and is iccog-ni.cd iccog-ni.cd as one of the most proficient executives and histiuetois in the State of Utah. She came to this country fiom the East and was at the head of an Espiscopal mission school for seveial yeais. Her ability and wortli weie so appicclated that she was finally seemed for the Logan dis-liict dis-liict schools and she is loved and respected by all who come in contact with her. The Woodruffs leputa-tion leputa-tion does not come from Miss Cassldy's perfection alone, but much of It Is due to thoelllclent corps of histiuetois In the departments. The Iloaid of Education Edu-cation hasalways considered qualification qualifica-tion and met It befoie aught else and in the Woodrulf Is an exemplification of that bodv's excellent Judgment.

It is the design of the Hoard of Education to give every child equal opportunity and to make that oppoi tunlty as free and largo as possible.
