Approximately 88 per cent of the expenditure exclusive of money spent for general control is borne by the General Church Board of Education. COST It lias TO CHURCH the .members of the Church approximately $20 annually for every student who has been in average daily attendance, in the senior seminaries. It cost thd1 Church a maximum of $180 per pupil to maintain academies in 1923 and the minimum cost was $100 in 1931 when practically-al- t tlie academies were closed. The possibility of giving religious education to a much greater number of stu-- ' dents at lower costs vas one. of the determining factors in adopting the seminary 'as' the most feasible Institution to carry on this work. In 1929 the Church Department of Education offered classes in religious education once a week to students of junior high school age. The Department recognizes the great need of religious instruction for. this age level and has wherever possible secured, trained teachers, released time and adequate housing for this program.

COURAGE TO WRITE The strength and the knowledge he possessed 'gave hinvthe courage to- write, even from the jaws of death itself, words of cheer and comfort to . the Saints throughout the world. . The Apostle Peter and the Twelve, after the resurrection of the Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, were new men. They feared no one. They were beyond the power of their enemies, because they knew that they would live again. Having seen the resurrected Lord, and having seen others who appeared from the grave, they knew that they, too, would live again, and death of this body held no further terror for them. So it was with Joseph Smith. Taken by his enemies on his way Jail convinced in his heart that he was to die he could yet say to those about him: I go like a lamb to the slaughter, but I am calm as a summer's morn- etiquette, restraint and principle has upon our return from maneuvers. no place.
