A basic and vital requirement of these days is the matter of educating the
boys and girls. One of the duties devolving upon the members of Spiritual
Assemblies is that, with the support of the friends, they should exert all
their powers to establish schools for the instruction of boys and girls in the
things of the spirit, the fundamentals of teaching the Faith, reading the
Sacred Writings, learning the history of the Faith, the secular branches of
knowledge, the various arts and skills, and the different languages—so that
Bahá’í methods of instruction will become so widely known that children from
every level of society will seek to acquire divine teachings as well as secular
knowledge in Bahá’í schools, and thereby means for the promotion of the Cause
of God will be provided.
