| 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 68 WILLIAM E. NEWMAN Ogden, Utah January 20, 1951 Waiter Kerr 132 University Street Salt Lake City, Utah Esteemed Professor: Professor Moench was a natural born pedagogue. One of his qualities was his earnestness to see that each pupil individually understood the subject being taught. In the event a pupil or pupils in any particular class did not get a grasp of the subject matter, he persevered until each member became familiar with the subject at hand, before permitting them to go without obtaining a mastery of that particular subject, retaining such pupils at recess or after school, that he might aid them in getting a full comprehension. There are so many things that have proven profitable to me from Brother Moench's practical system of making lasting impressions on the minds of those he taught. Had he been less painstaking, many would have had to forego some of the most precious of life's possessions. Sincerely yours, W. E. NEWMAN |
