In the formation of character, no other influences count so much as the influence of the home. The teacher's work should supplement that of the parents, but is not to take its place. In all that concerns the well-being of the child, it should be the effort of parents and teachers to co-operate.

Intet andet har så stor betydning for karakterdannelsen som hjemmets påvirkning. Lærerens gerning bør være supplerende for forældrenes, men den skal ikke indtage dens plads. Med hensyn til alt, hvad der angår barnets velfærd, bør forældre og lærere bestræbe sig for at samarbejde.
