subjects offered in the course were: Principles of the Gospel, Church History, scripture reading, singing, elective. The elimination of the high school work at Weber was in accord with the policy of the Church Board of Education, that of withdrawing high school work from all church schools. Incidentally, it may be noted that the University of Utah also dropped its high school work in 1923. In the chapter on the preparatory school at Weber, the thought was developed that the preparatory course filled a definite need in the community. It was shown that by teaching the elementary branches, the Church schools made a valuable contribution to the cause of education in Utah, and to some extent in the surrounding states. Likewise, the high school work in the church schools filled a gap in the educational system. The year 1890 marks the beginning of the public school high school movement in the Territory of Utah. The Salt Lake City high school was the only one in the Territory. There were at that time thirteen L. D. S. Church schools, each giving some high school work. This number was soon raised to twenty-three church schools. By 1900 there were six public high schools in the State of Utah. Following the enactment of the State High School Law in 1911, there was a period of growth and development in state high schools. When these schools became thoroughly established, the Church schools withdrew from the high school field. The movement started with the closing of the Summit Stake Academy in 1913 and continued until 1924, by which time all church high schools, excepting the Juarez Stake Academy in Mexico, were either closed or continued on the college level. Weber was among the schools which were continued as junior colleges.
