Description |
Weber Stake Academy first opened its doors for instruction at the LDS Second Ward Meeting House on the corner of 26th Street and Grant Avenue on January 7, 1889. The academy's two teachers, Louis F. Moench and Edwin Cutler, welcomed nearly one hundred students on the first day, and, by the end of its first term, 195 students in all had registered for the school. This monograph depicts the role the LDS church and its leaders played in founding the school, the background of its first educators and administrators and the financial challenges they confronted in operating the school from 1889 through 1894. Letters of appreciation for Louis F. Moench and a bibliography of primary sources are also provided. |

Show 36 The uncertainty concerning the disposition of the L. D. S. Church Property by the government of the United States during the nineties and even earlier, was the cause of grave concern among the church leaders. There were many discouraging rumors concerning the status of the Weber Stake Academy before, during and after occupancy for school purposes of the Weber Stake Tabernacle. Two newspaper articles illustrate: TABERNACLE SQUARE No Definite Plan for Its Use- Held Only for Public Purpose Mayor Kiesel was yesterday approached on the Tabernacle subject. He was asked what the intentions were regarding the disposition of the square, and what improvements were to be made. The Mayor stated that as yet no definite arrangements had been made for improving the square. The square is merely held for public purposes, and further disposition of it will be made by the council. ACADEMY NOT CLOSED An item in The Commercial yesterday to the effect that the Weber Stake Academy had been closed by the Deputy Marshals though nothing could be learned in the matter and that several arrests had been made on the charge that teachers were disseminating seditious doctrine among young missionaries who were taught to teach the Mormon religion. Suffice it to say that there is not a shadow of truth in the whole story and it is made out of whole cloth.3 1. The Standard Semi-Weekly, March 3, 1889. 2. Anti-Mormon Daily, published at Ogden, Utah, 1869-90. Early Utah Journalism, J. Cecil Alter. 3. The Standard, May 4, 1890. |
