First Presidency letter on schools, 1890 October 25.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/228300442

This proclamation from the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represents an early effort in the organization of the Religion Class program. It is dated October 25, 1890, and bears the stamped signatures of Wilford Woodruff, George Cannon, and Joseph F. Smith. These leaders express their concern about the inability of public school training to "increase their [students] feelings of devotion to God and love for His cause." They praise the efforts of the newly-formed Church schools to "counteract the tendencies that grow out of a Godless education." The remainder of the letter encourages individuals in wards that do not have Church schools to provide after-school religious training for their students.
