Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

Chapter 15
Our School Work
Economy in regard to the outlay of means
should be practiced in our school in Cooranbong,
This must be done, or the same mistake will be
made here that has been made in our schools in
America. Those who stand at the head of the
schools here need to guard carefully every point
and bind about every needless expense, that the
burden of debt may not fall upon the school. As
colaborers with Christ, every student who loves
God supremely will help to bear responsibility in
this matter. ...
Light has been given you in clear lines in
regard to the mistakes made in the education of
teachers. The education which teachers might gain
may regard as nonessential. They do not gain a
knowledge of practical life, a knowledge of how to
work as well as of how to study. This mistake must
not be allowed to influence the youth who attend
the school we are trying to establish.
