Some young men who enter the field are not successful in teaching the truth to others because they have not been educated themselves. Those who cannot read correctly should learn, and they should become apt to teach before they attempt to stand before the public. The teachers in our schools are obliged to apply themselves closely to study, that they may be prepared to instruct others. These teachers are not accepted until they have passed a critical examination and their capabilities to teach have been tested by competent judges. No less caution should be used in the examination of ministers; those who are about to enter upon the sacred work of teaching Bible truth to the world should be carefully examined by faithful, experienced persons. {4T 406.1}

Enkelte unge mænd, som går ud i arbejdsmarken, formår ikke at undervise andre om sandheden, fordi de ikke selv har fået nogen uddannelse. De, der ikke kan læse korrekt, må lære det og de bør lære at undervise, inden de optræder offentlig. Lærerne i vore skoler må studere hårdt som en forberedelse til at undervise andre. Disse lærere bliver ikke antaget, førend de har bestået en grundig eksamen og deres evner til at undervise er blevet undersøgt af dertil kompetente personer. Der bør ikke udvises mindre påpasselighed med hensyn til at underkaste prædikanter en prøve. De, som står i begreb med at optage den hellige gerning at undervise menneskene i de bibelske sandheder, bør underkastes omhyggelig prøve af trofaste, erfarne personer.
