Child Age & Education: A Spirit of Prophecy Compilation

This is a compilation of material written by Ellen G. White over a period of some sixty plus years regarding at what age, where, what, and by whom children should be educated. The various inspired counsels on childhood education chosen for this volume have been categorized into four sections—“Prenatal, Babyhood—Birth to 3 Years; Infancy—Birth to 6 or 7 Years; and Childhood—Birth to 12 or 13 Years.”
Appendix A contains the full report of the 1904 Sanitarium, California, meeting of Ellen G. White and the local church school board in which the schoolroom education of children as young as 5 years of age is recommended under certain conditions. Appendix B consists of the complete Pamphlet 124 entitled “What Shall We Teach?” This pamphlet has conveniently organized the inspired counsels as to what a child should be learning at home, in the church school and in the advanced schools.
