Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Utah Review, Vol. 1: March, 1882 Whoever has thoughtfully considered the relations that the Christian church sustains to _the peculiar civilization of this New West, and its antagonism to the religious despotism. Of this Territory, must recognize the fact that, whatever permanent success it may have attained, and whatever in uence it may have exerted upon the Mormon community, have been mainly through the school work of the church. Utah owes her better civilization, her culture in American Principles, and her broader thought, to the Christian schools, established along with the planting of the churches. The Methodist Church opened its first mission school in Salt Lake City, September 12, 1870, with an enrollment of twenty-eight pupils. It gained rapidly in favor and in uence in the city, and for a time its permanent success seemed assured. By reason of untoward circum stances it lost its prestige and reached a very low ebb. During the past year, however, a renewed effort has been made to establish it on a perma nent basis, and make it the central school of the church for the Territory. A new and vigorous policy. Is now being pursued to accomplish this end. The success of the school thus far during the present year, through the untiring energy of the Principal, Rev. T. B. Hilton, A. M., and the. Faithful work performed by his associate teachers, is very gratifying. There has been a continued increase in the number of pupils in attend ance, a higher degree of efficiency attained, and a growing Confidence in the community in its ultimate success. It is the purpose of the church to develop this school into a Uni versity. As tributary to this, Seminaries have been established at Ogden, Tooele, Beaver and Provo, where new and permanent improvements in school buildings have been made during the present year.
