Counsels On Elementary Schools For Young Children
In this transcribed dialogue Ellen White, her son Willie and various other individuals discussed the propriety of establishing a school for younger children at St. Helena California where a sanitarium was located. Willie was concerned that establishing a school would counter her counsel that mothers should be the sole teacher of their children in their younger days. The pastor was concerned that establishing a school would remove the parents' responsibility to discipline their own children, etc. Of special significance to our day was the presence of a faithful Adventist believer who was the teacher at the local public school. He seemed highly suited to properly teach the Adventist children and therefore negating the need for a church school. HOWEVER!!! Mrs. White said the inability to use the Scriptures in the educational curriculum at the public school made the public school an unacceptable alternative for the children of believers even if there were a godly Seventh-day Adventist teaching there! Mrs. White gave fascinating answers to several questions that are still be posed in our day, and thereby provide principles that can greatly aid us in making good decisions for children at the present time.
