Debts must not be allowed to accumulate term after term. The very highest kind of education that could be given is to shun the incurring of debt as you would shun disease. When one year after another passes, and there is no sign of diminishing the debt, but it is rather increased, a halt should be called. Let the managers say: “We refuse to run the school any longer unless some sure system is devised.” It would be better, far better, to close the school until the managers learn the science of conducting it on a paying basis. For Christ’s sake, as the chosen people of God, call yourselves to task and inaugurate a sound financial system in our schools. {6T 211.1}

Det må ikke tillades, at gælden forøges fra år til år. Den allerhøjeste uddannelse, der kan gives, er at lære at sky gæld, som man ville sky sygdom. Når det ene år hengår efter det andet uden noget tegn på, at gælden formindskes, men snarere forøges, bør der skrides ind. Lad ledelsen sige: "Vi kvier os ved at lede skolen længere, medmindre man finder frem til et bedre system." Det ville være bedre, langt bedre, at lukke skolen, indtil lederne lærer den kunst at lede den på en måde, som betaler sig. Tag fat, som Guds udvalgte folk for Kristi skyld, tag fat på opgaven og indfør et sundt finansiel system i vore skoler.
