Chapter 63—Proper Education Education comprises more than a knowledge of books. Proper education includes not only mental discipline, but that training which will secure sound morals and correct deportment. We have had many fears that those who take students into their houses will not realize their responsibility and will neglect to exert a proper influence over these youth. Thus students will fail to obtain all the benefit which they might receive at the college. The question too often arises: “Am I my brother’s keeper?’ What care, what burden or responsibility, should I have for the students who occupy rooms in our houses?” I answer: The very same interest that you have for your own children. {4T 648.2}

Uddannelse indbefatter mere end kendskab til bøger. Ordentlig uddannelse er ikke kun mental disciplin, men den oplæring som indeholder en sund moral og korrekt optræden. Vi har frygtet meget at dem, som tager studerende ind i deres hjem, ikke vil erkende deres ansvar og forsømmer at udøve en ordentlig indflydelse over disse unge. Således vil studerende ikke få al den hjælp som de kunne få på colleget. Spørgsmålet rejser sig for ofte: "Er jeg min broders vogter?" "Hvilken bekymring, hvilken byrde eller ansvar skulle jeg have for studerende, som tager plads i vore huse?" Jeg svarer: "Præcis det samme som du har for dine egne børn."
