First Principles

Education

BY MRS. E. G. WHITE
A book of 321 pages, filled from cover to cover with the choicest instruction on that all-important subject to every person — education. The reader can not fail to partake of the inspiration of the author, and be lifted up and ennobled by reading this book. The subject is not dealt with from a purely mental standpoint. The author says that education is “the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world, and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come.”
Following the example of the great Master Teacher, the author of this book has drawn from nature many illustrations to enforce the thoughts presented. The Book of all books is made the basis of all true knowledge. The book is divided into nine sections, as follows: —
