Education

“The higher, that is, the more thoroughly trained, the mother has been in all branched which her children will need to study, the better able she will be to form their minds for the reception of culture” Pg. 34

Sarah Josepha Hale stresses the idea of women to be properly educated and trained in domestic science in order to form the minds of her children in response to society and giving them the correct upbringing to apply to mankind. On a greater scale, the education of the woman will assist in providing a better society by applying this knowledge in raising her children whom are the future of society. Since Hale identifies the women as the providers of morality and good values, it is best to make sure that women are fully equipped in knowledge when it involves teaching and preserving morality within their given households.
