Mutter und Kind Rasten

Harriet Beecher Stowe's reflections on the mother as teacher:

"The most fearful thing about this education matter is that it is example more than word. Talk as you will, the child follows what he sees, not what he hears. The prevailing tone of the parent's character will make the temper of the household; the spirit of the parent will form the spirit of the child."
