Religious training is practically excluded from the district schools. The perusal of books that we regard as devine is forbidden. Our children, left to the training they receive in these schools, will grow up entirely ignorant of those principles of salvation for which the Latter-day Saints have made many sacrifices. To permit this condition of affairs to exist among us would be criminal. The desire is universally expressed by all thinking people in the Church that we should have schools wherein the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and the Book of Doctrine and Covenants can be used as text books and where the Principles of our religion may form a part of the teachings of the schools." In conformity with the import of this letter, the Presidency of Weber Stake organized a Board of Education consisting of the following members: Lewis W. Shurtliff, president; Charles F. Middleton, N. C. Flygare, Hon. Jos. Stanford, Louis F. Moench, Bishop |
