8 WEBER STAKE ACADEMY The principles of the Gospel are systematically studied from the standard works of the Church, with a view of creating faith in the minds of the students, and a sense of moral responsibility in all their associations and duties. Students belonging to other churches may be excused from taking theology by application to the principal. Building The Academy building is located on Jefferson Avenue, opposite Lester Park. It is two stories in height, and is sufficiently large to accomodate three hundred students. The rooms are large and well lighted, and are provided with steam heat, electric lights and all the necessary appliances. The first floor is occupied by the Principal's office, the Commercial and the Preparatory Departments, the Physical and Chemical Laboratories, and the Domestic Arts Departments. The Art Gallery, Library, Assembly Hall, and several recitation rooms occupy the second floor. A new building is now being erected. Library The Library is a neatly furnished and well-lighted room ad-joining the Assembly Hall. The shelves contain valuable works on theology, literature, history, and science, and the tables are sup-plied with the leading newspapers and magazines. During the past year about five hundred volumes were added by purchase. The list includes, besides works on literature, history, pedagogy and science, a small library on agriculture. Several valuable sets of books have been contributed during the past year among which may be mentioned a complete set (thirty-nine volumes) of Bancroft's Pacific States, a set of Chamber's Encyclopedia, and some rare books on American Antiquities. Apparatus The Academy is fairly well equipped with physical apparatus to illustrate the prescribed courses. The more important items are a Wimhurst electrical machine, a Becker Analytical Balance with weights of precision, Ruhmkorff coil, moveable coils, electric motor, Wheatstone bridge, rheostat, Geissler tubes, lifting and force pumps, adjustable inclined plane, galvanometer, electro-magnet, sonometer, lenses, chemical thermometers, a variety of primary batteries, and a set of apparatus for students' use in the Laboratory. NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT 9 Laboratory The Laboratory is supplied with a collection of specimens illustrative of Zoology, Botany, Geology, and Lithology. The cabinet contains a representative collection of gold, silver, lead, and copper ores and concentrates from the mines and mills of Utah and adjoining states; a variety of igneous rocks from central and Southern Utah; specimens of the more common minerals and metamorphic and sedimentary rocks; a number of cretaceous and tertiary fossils; a number of stuffed Utah birds and mammals; and a representative collection of land and marine invertebrates pre-served in fluids.
