CHAPTER XXV - THE GREAT RECOGNITION REQUIRED OF PARENTS

1. Show that education is not religious and secular.
2. Show that knowledge, like virtue, is from above.
3. Have we any authority for thinking that science, art and poetry are ‘by the Spirit’?
4. Have we any teaching as to the origin of the first ideas of common things?
5. Show that divine teaching waits upon our co-operation.
6. What manner of teaching invites and what repels divine co-operation?
7. Show that this ‘recognition’ resolves certain discords in our lives.
8. How does it safeguard us from intellectual sin?
9. How does it lead to harmony in our efforts?
10. Why must teaching be fresh and living?
11. Why must books be living?
12. Why can we not get rid of our responsibility by using some neat system?
13. Why must children read the best books?
