The Teacher’s Aim
The great principles of education are unchanged. “They stand fast forever and ever;”[[30]] for they are the principles of the character of God. To aid the student in comprehending these principles, and in entering into that relation with Christ which will make them a controlling power in the life, should be the teacher’s first effort and his constant aim. The teacher who accepts this aim is in truth a co-worker with Christ, a laborer together with God.

The Education of Israel
“THE LORD ALONE DID LEAD HIM;
HE INSTRUCTED HIM, HE KEPT
HIM AS THE APPLE OF HIS EYE”
The system of education established in Eden centered in the family. Adam was “the son of God,”[[31]] and it was from their Father that the children of the Highest received instruction. Theirs, in the truest sense, was a family school.
