We have always recognized rec-ognized In you a very great aid In molding public sentiment In behalf of our schools. This aid hns beon ot great worth and wo wish you to know of tho esteem In which your attitude Is held by us, and we earnestly trust thnt tho future will bo as auspicious in this line as It has been In tho pnst. In order to be In a position to render the assistance that will be of tho greatest worth, we realize that you must know us, our alms, and our Ideals. For that reason your coming to Logan Is thrice welcome . The title "Athens of Utah," we think to be very properly applied to Logan. It Is true, It may be a "new Athens," we bolleve It Is. It is said we shall have a new heaven and a new earth, then why not a new Athens. Ath-ens. The culture of old Athens was that of sculpture, of oratory, of rhetoric, rhe-toric, of philosophy. It was therefore ono ot tho Intellect and the aesthetic. Us citizens had slaves to do the menial men-ial labors ot Its pcoplo, and It therefore there-fore took llttlo cognizance of the education edu-cation of tho hand, unless perchance in Its trnlnlng In athlotlcs and Its preparation pre-paration for wnr. The New Athens. Tho education of tho new Athens .stands for all tho Intellectual attainments attain-ments of tho old, but ndds tho education educa-tion of tho hand and tho heart to tho education ot tho Intellect. Thero aro two features that should characterize an Ideal educational city. First .there should bo a keen sympathy with tho schoolB, and soc-ond, soc-ond, such a city must be clean, sanitary sani-tary and moral, with a minimum of temptation for young peoplo. Logan fulfills both of these requirements. Its citizens aro entirely In sympathy with its schools, and whllo thero Is slfflclont business activity to mako of It a llvo city yet commercialism Is kept In tho back ground of our school Intorests. Logan Is clean morally. There aro no saloons within our borders nnd havo not boon for tho year past, and now .thanks to tho recent action of our county commlsslqnors, none aro oxlstlng upon Its borders. Gambling dens aro unknown nnd our officers aro certainly to bo commended for the moral sanitation of our municipal-Ity. municipal-Ity. No city of tho Btnto can boast ot greater frecdm from contnglouB diseases. dis-eases. Our physicians are always on the alort to tamp them out whon thoy first appear.

High School Facilities. In Its secondary school facilities I.ogan Is Indeed fortunate It has three first class high schools, the high school department of the Agricultural t'ollfgo, the n fliim o.ing CellegH high school, and the Now .Ituuov ncud emy. The character of the Agricultural Collcgo high school needs no further comment than has nlready been made. Tho Now Jersej Academy, nn Institution In-stitution supported nnd fostered by the I'resbytorlan church for northern 1 tah nnd southern Idaho is located In our city Its doors aro open to any rropcsiy prepared student Irrespective Irrespect-ive of religious beliefs.

IU most excellent faculty both by precept and example, seek to glvo a good moral training, tho Illblo being taken as tho basis of Instruction. Wisdom of Brlgham Young. .Tho Brlgham Young Collcgo, high school department, Is unlquo in that It Is ono of tho very first and probably prob-ably tho first educational Institution In the United States to havo writ-ton writ-ton Into Its character a policy looking to the Introduction of manual training train-ing into Its curricula. Its great founder found-er and benefactor, President Brlgham Voung, In August, 1878, saw tho needs , of tho future and mado tho roqulro-' roqulro-' ment In tho deed of trust that students who t ako full courses of Instruction shall bo required to tako 'iff' addition I to tho usual subjects, snmo form of manual work, best suited to their I tastes and capacities. From tho found-I found-I Ing of tbo Institution each president has worked to tho end of securing this I result, but It took the best efforts of formor presidents to lay an adequato I toundsUoa, By balldlnc on that foun dation, It has been our good fortune, I through tho help of privato citizens, and tho genoral church Board of Education, Ed-ucation, nnd our local board, to organize or-ganize work In Domestic Art, Domestic Do-mestic Science, woodworking, forging. Slnco tho establishment of departments depart-ments wo fool that wo havo divided honors qulto evenly with tho Agricultural Agricul-tural Qpllcgo In tho betterment of homo conditions In tho territory from wblch wo hnVo drawn. That- these courses havo been successful Is attested at-tested by tho largo number of young people of northern Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, that are registered and by tho further fact that a t our recent state fair wo era awarded threo gold medals nnd n diploma for our manual training, our art and our domestic work. Our Domestic Science Depart mont Una not In competition. The Bible Bi-ble sajs n tree sTiall bo known by Its ! fruits. I therefore ledvo you lo Judge . by your recent experience at the luncheon lun-cheon tablo as to tho effectiveness of i this department In addition to the above subjects and tho fundamental branches common to all good high schools, 'theological instruction in given to all who enter, and Is made the basts of nil instruction In the Institution. Good Normal Department. We havo a normal department that has mado Its Influence felt very strongly In our territory, Its grndu ates aro among tho most prominent nnd efficient teachers of this section of our state. Our graduation classes aro not nearly largo enough to fill tho demands mado upon It . Tho commercial department was organized or-ganized about tho snmo time as our domestic department, and is a rapidly growing feattne of our school activities. activi-ties. I.Ike the normal department its graduates are sought after by thoso whoaro seeking efficient help. The Brlgham Young College ls supported sup-ported largely by appropriations from the L. D. S. church, and Is confined for the tlmo being to high school work. Many of the college faculty are still with it, thus making a most efficient high school and keeping the reputation reputa-tion we have always held for thorough thor-ough and effective work.
