Highest Education

Children have claims which their parents should acknowledge and respect. They have a right to such an education and training as will make them useful, respected, and beloved members of society here, and give them a moral fitness for the society of the pure and holy hereafter. The young should be taught that both their present and their future well-being depend to a great degree on the habits they form in childhood and youth.

Lesson Stories from Old Time Readers

Read and Listen

When my father was a little boy the readers in the schools were very different than they are now. The stories and poems were mostly chosen because they taught something worthwhile. Maybe it was history or geography, but most often it was Character Building lessons. We plan to have some of these here so you can enjoy them. Most of them are read by readers from Librivox.org.
