David O. McKay and Progressive Education Implementation for the Sunday School
Mary Jane Woodger
Mary Jane Woodger, "David O. McKay and Progressive Education Implementation for the Sunday School," Religious Educator 21, no. 1 (2020): 129–51.
Mary Jane Woodger (maryjane_woodger@byu.edu) is a professor of Church history and doctrine at BYU.
David O. McKay’s work in the Sunday School was the impetus for his being included in the general leadership of the Church and is among his greatest contributions to the modernization of the Church.
In 1897 David O. McKay graduated from the University of Utah with a Normal (Teaching) Certificate. He would become the first president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to have a college education and to have previously been a professional educator. This educational background would permeate every position McKay would hold in the hierarchy of the Church.
McKay’s educational practices were based on the theoretical underpinnings of progressive education. Among the classes McKay took at the University of Utah were “Theory of Teaching,” “Elementary Pedagogy,” “Advanced Pedagogy,” and “Comprehensive Pedagogy.” Many of these courses were taught by William Stewart, professor of pedagogy and head of the Normal School

Cardston Alberta Temple
1923 Dedication of the Cardston Alberta Temple
Charles Ora Card founded the town of Cardston as a refuge mostly for Saints escaping federal prosecution in the United States during the late 19th century due to anti-polygamy laws. Church President John Taylor had asked him to look for areas to settle in Canada, and Card soon found an area in Southern Alberta in 1886 that would eventually house over a dozen Latter-day Saint settlements — including Cardston.
Three weeks after Card and the first 41 Latter-day Saint settlers arrived at what was then known as Lee Creek, local Sunday School Superintendent Jonathan E. Layne was speaking at a Sunday Church meeting when he felt to prophesy that “this country would produce for us all that our Cache Valley homes and lands had produced for us, and that temples would yet be built in this country. I could see it as plain as if it was already here.”
A year later, Elder John W. Taylor of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and son of President John Taylor visited the Saints in Cardston and validated Layne’s prophecy.
“I now speak by the power of prophecy and say that upon this very spot shall be erected a temple to the name of Israel’s God.”
On Oct. 4, 1912 — 24 years after Elder Taylor’s prophecy — Church President
