The one who has not investigated the progress of Christian work in Utah will be surprised at the results, both direct and indirect. To the careful observer the indirect results will apnear far iikhh astonishing than the direct.

That for 20 years after the first settlers came, little or nothing WA3 done in the way of general education. About tnat time However came the missionaries establishing Christian schools. Almost at once a beginning was made looking toward public schools. Strangely enough the best Mormon schools were established in the same localities as the mission schools.
