The system of education established in Eden centered in the family.Adam was the son of God and it was from their Father that the children of the Highest received instruction. Theirs, in the truest sense was a family school. The education centering in the family was that which prevailed in the days of the patriarchs.For the schools thus established,God provided the conditions most favorable for the development of character. The people who were under his direction still pursued the plan of life that He had appointed in the beginning. Those who departed from God built for themselves cities,and, congregating in them, gloried in the splendor, the luxury,and the vice that make the cities of today the world pride and its curse.But the men who held fast God,s principles of life dwelt among the fields and hills.They were the tillers of the soil and keepers of flocks and herds, and in this free, independent life, with its opportunities for labor and study and meditation they learned of God and taught their children of His works and ways.This was the method of education that God desired to establish in Israel.
