A Century of Service, 1860-1960 : A History of the Utah Education Association
-
Salt Lake City, UT
-
Utah Education Association
-
"On October 13, 1860, the Deseret News contained the following item: 'Notice-The School Teachers and Patrons of educaation are respectfully requested to attend a meeting to be held in Mrs.Pratt's school room 11th Ward, on Friday evening next (Oct. 19), at early candle light, for the purpose of establishing a society for promoting the educational interests of the community.'
The meeting was held; the association was launched, and thus began one fo the most significant movements in Utah's educational history.
It was the organized effort of the teachers themselves who recognized the weakness in education as they then existed. The determined effort of those courageous pioneering souls to bring 'system' out of what had therefore been individual undertakings, seriously lacking in any coordinating purpose, resulted in unity of effort and purpose.
From this humble beginning, the great drama depicting educational occurrences of a momentous century is portrayed with insight and understanding. The cast of characters include a list of names too numerous to mention-mostly great, some almost unknown-that have figured in the day-to-day flow of this history. The subjects vary widely from the ridiculous to the sublime, but do contain the events, great and small, that have constituted the daily occurrences and in the final analysis have shaped and expressed the educational philosophy of the great state of Utah.
