The branches of study pursued are those in use at most of the public schools, and the school has met with the most flattering success, owing to the energy and efficiency of the teachers and the system of tuition adopted by them. The school was first held in Peery's Hall, but on the completion of the present church edifice the school was moved thereto and has been there since. The Sacred Heart Academy situated in this city is one of the finest schools in the country and is located in one of the most attractive localities in Ogden. It is surrounded by beautiful grounds and is in every way an ornament to the city. The buildings were erected in 1878, under the direction of the Very Rev. L. Scanlan, V. F. of Salt Lake City, and on September 16th of the same year it wras opened for educational purposes by the Sisters of the Holy Cross, from St. Mary's Academy, Indiana, in whose charge it has since been. The building, spacious and commodious, is well suited to its purposes while the salubrity of the fresh mountain air is conducive to the health of the inmates. Though under the care of the Sisters of the Holy Gross, the school is claimed to be non-sectarian as regards the influences brought to bear on non-Catholic pupils. It is a boarding as well as a day school, and every effort is made to promote the health and happiness, as well as the moral and intellectual interests of those committed to the care of the Sisters, who offer the advantages of a thorough education to young ladies entrusted to their care.

The school under the charge of the Methodist Society of Ogden is the youngest of the denominational schools of the city, and has labored under some discouraging circumstances, but is now in a flourishing and permanent condition. It was originally organized in 1874, but after a hard struggle was obliged to close, owing to great competition and the lack of sufficient means to carry on the enterprise. However, in September, 1880, it was reorganized, under the charge of Prof. T. W. Lincoln, of Salt Lake City, who continued as its principal until April, 1881, since which time it has been under the su- perintenclency of the Rev. A. W. Adkinson, the Pastor of the Methodist Church, here, and its present success is greatly due to his efforts. Mr. Adkinson has two assistants, one in charge of the primary,and the other of the more advanced department. The course of study pursued embraces the ordinary common school branches, and also the science of bookkeeping, as well as the study of the Constitution of the United States. The fall term of the school opens on the first Monday in September. *e. Call on J. Wotherspoon for GENTS' FURNISHINGS. .y |
