To Presidents of Stakes, Bisfwps of Wrards, and Presidents of Priesthood Quorums. Dear Brethren: — A number of letters have been received by the presid- ing authorities inquiring as to whether or not the priesthood quorums should participate in the regular weekly teacher-training classes now estab- lished throughout the Church. In order that there may be a definite understanding regarding this matter, you are hereby authorized to urge all quorum officers and class instructors to pursue regularly and diligently the teacher-training course as prescribed by the Correlation Committee, rep- resenting the Priesthood Outlines Committee and the general auxiliary boards of the Church. Ward teachers, too, will find the course most helpful, and where proper arrangements can be made to avoid conflict in officers, the monthly reporl meeting may be held as part, either of the second or the fourth meeting of the month, thus avoiding the necessity of holding the extra meeting for ward teachers' monthly reports. The details of the quorum officers' meetings and the ward teachers' meetings can be worked out best by Stake and Ward authorities to suit local conditions. One of the specific duties of the Priesthood is to teach. We desire to commend every effort that is now being put forth to make the teaching in the Church more efficient. The co-operation of the priesthood will do much toward giving strength and impetus to the important movement in teacher-training. Ever praying the Lord to bless you in all your diligent labors for the advancement of truth, we remain, Sincerely your brethren, Heber J. Grant, Anthon H. Lund, Charles W. Penrose, First Presidency. The Ivandsome chapel erected by the Spanish Fork Third ward was dedicated Sunday, Oct. 17, by President Heber J. Grant. The structure has been erected at the cost of $30,000. It is of red pressed brick, with gray foundation. The architecture is Doric in style and was designed by Joseph Nelson of Provo. The contract for the building also was awarded to a Provo man, James H. Snyder. The Midgley system of heating has been installed and the basement is equipped with a modern gymnasium, a good-sized stage with modern lighting facilities, and a sanitary drink- ing fountain. The main auditorium on the ground floor has a seating capacity of 300. There also is a Relief society hall, thoroughly furnished, seven separate classrooms, also a prayer circle room. There are several convenient lockers for storing supplies, a baptismal font of modern style, and a drinking fountain on the main floor.
