than passing interest to us aa as a people and one that should should enlist the united wisdom wisdon and alid energies of our legislators le idla ldla Isla tors at this thia and iu in time to come to them we look for the adoption of such wise wisa measures BS as will secure to every child and youth in lit thes valleys the blessings of nt at least know ing how to read and write if bothin nothing more and for the establishment and permanent support of some school or institution in which teachers can call be taught aught the principles of science before they undertake to teach others these arenie are measures agures we have desired to see adopted and have ha v a believed would ouid be sooner or later tho at the sime simo time w we a are well aware of or the d difficulties and

great diama of r future events much has already been donet done in the several cities and settlements of the tiie territory to establish and rt schools school but either for want of or competent teachers or proper discrimination in III the selection of those to whom has been in trusted the responsible duties of teaching children there has not been that progress made that otherwise might have been expected from the amount of money and time lime that has been expensed ed uni ani and in 0 our oun ur humble opinion the legislature Legisla ture turn could not confer a greater or more lasting benefit upon those who are tire looking to that source for pecuniary aid in ill tile the establishment of such institutions as will best promote public interest than to make a liberal appropriation for the tiie establishment and permanent support orsome of some school where teachers call can be qualified for th the business beffie engaging in it As we have stated wo we do not believe in finding fault suid and when we speak ot of things lings ti w si iosim to simply represent them as they exis exist according to our understanding that more has lias been done for the establishment of common or primary schools by the people of athla territory during the tile short period of eight year years than has been done in twice that length of time by tile the people of other new countries where it hys his been our fortune to reside we have no hesitation in lit saying notwithstanding the difficulties that have attended their efforts and we challenge tile tiie world to point out a community with all the advantages of location that conid could bo be desired that have ever made the improvements in lit the same bame length of or time that have been made in deseret still we are firmly of tile the opinion that if the subject of education was better belter understood and the ili III benefits to be derived more fully appreciated the same results might be produced ut a our far less expense it is not tile tir length of time that children cli ildren lidren are sent to school that secures to them that knowledge that is esen tsai tSal to make them useful members of society bu hut t their gnip improvement ro and success more or less depends upon the value parents and guardians place upon those thin bilings 4 aud and upon tila the klit kill kind klud d of instructors that are ernp employed loyed to teach their children in too many instances in ill every community in anity and in ill every state or ter territory 1 tory where we have havo resided tle ibe ahe ile education of children lias has been in trusted to literary know nothings persons incapable of or teaching the first principles of science from front tile the fact that they knew little or noth nothing liv about them and could not intelligibly comman communicate I 1 what they did know to others a very essential qualification that teachers should possess posses sand and W without wha which let their other qualifications 8 be what they anky may the g eat mai maj majority arity of children cli cil ildren will make but slow progress FTp gress under their tuition our knowledge ar these matters in this territory Is some
