“Students should be given a practical education in agriculture. This will be of inestimable value to many in their future work. The training to be obtained in felling trees and in tilling the soil, as well as in literary lines, is the education that our youth should seek to obtain. Agriculture will open resources for self-support. Other lines of work, adapted to different students, may also be carried on. But the cultivation of the land will bring a special blessing to the workers. We should so train the youth that they will love to engage in the cultivation of the soil. {CT 311.1}

(311) »Studerende bør have en praktisk uddannelse i landbrug. Dette vil være af uvurderlig værdi for mange i deres fremtidige arbejde. De oplæres i at fælde træer og pløje jorden, så vel som i litterære linjer, er den uddannelse, som vore unge skal prøve at få. Landbrug vil åbne muligheder til selvunderholdning. Der må også gennemføres andre arbejdslinjer som passer til de forskellige studerende. Men opdyrkning af landet vil give en særlig velsignelse for arbejderne. Vi bør oplære de unge sådan, at de vil elske at opdyrke jorden.
