Show EDUCATION brotherhood the proceedings edinge age of the school meeting at the tabernacle last night were quite satis satisfactory factory the reports bore evidence of the tile trustees haying having done their duty in giving an explanation of the attus of educational affairs in ogden mr air joef pingree one of the Trustee sand chairman of the tile meeting stated that there were ivre some parents unable to give their abil dren the advantages of an education on account of their inability to pay the tuition fees the trustees had bad not felt at liberty to help those people by extending to them the privilege of sending their children to school free of charge inthe if the tax payers were willing that this should be done however i er the officers would gladly act upon the discretion thus given them theta mr air john reeve made a very proper motion on this subject which was carried without dissent it was to the effect that the trustees be authorized zed not only to give free tuition in cases which had come under their observation of persons who were e unable to pay but that they be in strutted ted to take pains to search for such instances as might not come casually under their notice that no child might bo be left without an opportunity port unity for obtaining an education the entrusting of this discretionary power to the trustees does not affect the school funds raised by taxation either territorial or district the educating of a number of children free will only affect the amount charged pro rata for tuition in addition to the sum paid to teachers from the tax funds the amount which will be borne entire ly by the many who send their abil dren to school will bo be very light compared with inith the tile great benefit that will accrue to the comparatively few who are themselves unable to pay for the tuition of their children the genius odthe of the community is and slid very properly should be in opposition posit ion to class dist distinctions inactions it is not alone in he disparities between the possessions of rich and poor that these difference ariae arise they are as frequently aa as much caused by the Ae degrees grees of advancement in education although the one ont diM difference renee frequently grows out of the other therefore so far as practicable the tile va briera biers that place plade the th poor at ft a disadvantage as coni compared pared with the rich in this regard should bo be removed so far as an entrance to the broad fields of intelligence is concerned humanity manity liu should as wk i nearly as circumstances and conditions admit be placed on a broad abroad and general platform A very reasonable degree ofero of progress has been made in the territory in educational matt matters erg and there ia is a steady conservative growth which is always the most healthful the highest planes of educational development velo p ment cannot be reached by radi radical eal spasmodic leaps and bounds but by gentle yet firm changes for the better there is an uneven nesa in this regard that will doubtless away in time it is an acknowledge dor a well known fact that history keeps repeating itself speaking in reference to the latter day saint por tion of the community it maybe may be well for them to consider how far this is applicable to them we are far from coining up in our practice to the high st standard determined by the grut und and elevated system we profess as our rule of faith our system is perfect and incorporates the principles ples of true brotherhood IN when aon this sympathetic bond does not obtain there is an evident departure from the plat form of the gospel it should be a serious question with us whether we are not in some degree repeating tho the history of the church that was established by christ on this continent among its ancient peoples su suppose p pose we consider one passage their record the book of mormon page n i ge latest edition but it came to pass in the twenty and ninth year there began to bo be some disputing a among d alio e people and some were lifted up unto u nto pride and because of t their heir exceeding great riches yea even unto great persecutions fortiere for there were many merchants in the land and also many lawyers and many officers and the people began to be distinguished by ranks according to their riches and their chances chances for learning yea some were I ignorant borant because of their poverty any ana othera others did receive great learning because of their riches some were lifted up in pride and others were exceedingly humble some did return railing for railing while others would receive railing and persecution and all mariner of afflictions and would not turn and revile again but were humble and penitent before god and thus became a great inequality in all the land insomuch I that the church began to be broken up yea insomuch that in the thirtieth beir year the church was broken up in in all the landane lan land daye save it were among a few of the Lama who were converted unto the true faith and they would not depart from it for they were firm and steadfast and immovable willing with all diligence to keep the commandments of the lord now the cause of this iniquity of the people was this satan had great power unto the stirring up of the people le to do all manner of iniquity and to the puffing them up with pride tempting them to seek for power and authority and riches and the vain vaia things of the world A divine providence lias has given the records odthe of the past that those who receive them may be instructed and avoid being dashed against the rocks upon which the ancients were split into fragments if there is any tendency now to drift into the channels by which the Nep hites floated away from the principles of brotherhood it is time to turn a corner and travel the tile other way certainly the picture appears to bear to say tho the least a partial resemblance i e by comparison MEXICO is
