…the children’s school must be a place of utmost discipline
and order, that instruction must be thorough, and provision must be made for
the rectification and refinement of character; so that, in his earliest years,
within the very essence of the child, the divine foundation will be laid and
the structure of holiness raised up.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the
Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
