Quote: About children in early Salem




September 26, 1785 -"In the conference with parents it was pointed out how needful it is that outside of school hours the children should be kept busy in useful employment. The parents were also urged not to misunderstand the faults and shortcomings of their children, but with insight to exercise more faithfulness, diligence, and patience in bringing them up according to the Will of Jesus." July 11, 1786 - "It is important to impress upon our youth the all important things of human life, -- industry, faithfulness, obedience, economy, good manners, and to do unto others as they would be done by." (Auf. Col.)
