Educational Institutions in the Religious Society of Friends (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Educational Institutions in the Religious Society of Friends

I have dwelt somewhat fully upon this first boarding school of the Society of Friends, because I deemed it important to thus emphas'ize, in the beginning, the fact that the primary Object of schools among Friends has been, not the giving of the needed instruction in the languages, the mathematics and the sciences, however important these studies may be in their place, but the training up of good men and women.
