Education, education, education; one principal thing that is priced high, believing it separates between the uncivilized and the civilized. “Study to show thyself approved.” What will you do for your children? On who rests the responsibility before God for their souls. Unfortunately the public school system does not accommodate the Christian learner any more. We are called to make disciples of every nation, then why not start at home?

Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 23: 6.
I suppose that most professing Christians are acquainted with the text at the head of this page. The sound of it is probably familiar to your ears, like an old tune. It is likely you have heard it, or read it, talked of it, or quoted it, many a time. Is it not so?

Practical Homemaking

Train up a child in the way wherein he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it." Prov. 22:6.
1. We must not imagine that these words are to be understood in an absolute sense, as if no child that had been trained up in the way wherein he should go had ever departed form it. Matter of fact will by not means agree with this: So far form it, that it has been a common observation, "Some of the best parents have the worst children." It is true, this might sometimes be the case, because good men have not always a good understanding; and, without this, it is hardly to be expected that they will know how to train up their children.

Severity and Over-Indulgence
First, I remark that many err in too great severity or too great leniency of family government. Between parental tyranny and ruinous laxness of discipline there is a medium. Sometimes the father errs on one side and the mother on the other side.

“Train up a child in the way he should go.” Proverbs 22:6
Education in modern parlance, means nothing more than instruction, or the
communication of knowledge to the mind; and a good education means, the opportunity
of acquiring all kinds of learning, science, and what are called achievements.
But properly speaking, education in the true and higher import of the term,
means: “the implanting of right dispositions, the cultivation of the heart, the guidance
of the temper, the formation of the character.”
