6. THE FAMILY AS THE TRAINING CENTER OF HEART

In a family, the parents should be the center, and in school the teacher must be the center. Parents rear up the children. Then, what is school for? It teaches people how to well live in society, which is the future stage of their life. The family is the training center to develop your sensibility, and the school is the place in which to learn social life.

Society is not the last. What is next? That's the nation. The nation has a president. What is the reason that all people miss the president and want to be closer to him?

The president indicates a complete fruit which has gone beyond the stages of formation and growth. It starts from a seed and becomes a flower and finally becomes a fruit.

From this point of view, a school has to foster and train the person's ability. What are people doing in school? They are training and preparing themselves. They need good preparation.

What is the family? That's the training center of heart. In school, you've got to make brother-like relationships with your school mates. Such an education of parents is for the sake of the school, the society, and the nation. The parents have to hand over all the foundation of sentiments to their descendants, which teaches them how to live in the society and nation.

Parents in your home often say, "Why don't you study?" Teachers in the school say, "Get on in life." What school teaches you is how to lead a nation and how to be a good person.

For instance, good professors provide a good foundation for this nation. So people are willing to initiate those whom they like into their social foundation. (180-130)
