show a large increase in the number of students that kept at their post to the end but it is still a very poor testimony in regard to the appreciation of the benefits of a thorough education which latter cannot be obtained without completing the course of studies began at the outset and by making a steady attendance a prime object subordinate to neno but the most urgent considerations permit me to quote here a passage from my last years report there are causes of this continuance assigned in some instances which considering the importance of an education may be called almost eriv alons this severe censure would A not be made if it referred only to the young people themselves whose untutored minds and undeveloped char actors entitle them to much charity but inasmuch as in many instances discontinuance of that kind has not only the cognizance but also tho full endorsement of parents wo have before ns cases of responsibility which it is difficult to perceive how they can be successfully met before god from choso whoso hands w e have received our children as a sacred stewardship PRIMARY department under the of brother hyrum anderson was according to following statistics

hoph our church school teachers are expected to reach the brigham emy as the another institution of our church schools and school for our teachers will demonstrate by her ready compliance with the instructions of the general board that she is worthy under the blessings of god to maintain her in the educational interests 0 the latter day saints when I 1 mention the fact that forty one years ago last of may I 1 after having graduated entered upon my career as a teacher and that ia tho dispensation of providence I 1 have been permitted to continue say labors in the educational field amidst many vicissitudes until this day I 1 trust that no one will charge me with vain presumption in thus making a personal allusion to myself on the occasion of the closing exercises of the thirteenth academic year these thirteen years constitute the most important period of my teachers life for during that time educational plans for years hidden in the recesses of the heart became realized my trust in god through the manifestations of his approval and guidance grew stronger and the endorsement by the general authorities of the educational system inaugurated at the brigham young academy was evidence that our efforts have not been in vain I 1 should therefore be unappreciative of all the kindness shown me by authorities fellow teach ers students and the people and be ungrateful gratful un to and support if today to day I 1 should net place myself on record as being conscious that all the brigham young academy has been a chosen instrument in the hands of the god of israel to plant tho seed for an educational system that will spread its ramifications throughout the borders of zion penetrate with its benign in every fireside of the saints and open to our youth the avenues to all intelligence knowledge and power that are necessary for them to attain in the glorious future of the lailer day work foretold by the prophets amen KARL G MASSES principal |
