GEMS-Teachings: True Education

Gems from the Teachings of Church Leaders
True Education
—————————————————

“True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few
facts of science, history, literature or art, but in the development of
character. True education awakens a desire to conserve health by keeping
the body clean and undefiled. True education trains in self-denial and
self-mastery. True education regulates the temper, subdues passion and
makes obedience to social laws and moral order a guiding principle of life.
It develops reason and inculcates faith in the living God as the eternal
loving Father of all.”
