respect for all labor

Instilling a respect for all labor. From Otto Salomon

"Words alone will not inspire this respect; hence we conclude that the best way to instill into children a true and proper respect for rough, honest, bodily labor is 1st. By introducing such work into schools of all grades, in order that all classes of the community may engage in it.

and 2nd. By the teachers taking both pleasure and pride in doing it themselves, as well as delight in teaching it intelligently to others. For what the teachers appreciate, the children usually appreciate."

I wish that the billionaires of today had received such educations. Perhaps it will come again.
