Rightly considered, there are no duties laid upon us of a more imperative and momentous character than those pertaining to home. It is there the work of education is to be carried forward; not there exclusively, but there primarily. By "education," is not meant teaching children to read and cipher and sew; but the entire training of the household, in all their physical, intellectual, and moral powers, for time and eternity. It is a place of training as well for parents as children.
