Pro.xxii,6. Train up a child in the way he should go, and
when he is old he will not depart from it. Religion is the
basis on which all virtue is built. 
. . . [continues for 4 columns]
  Oeconomy and housewifry are necessary branches of female
education, and works of ingenuity and fancy may fill up the
leisure hours, both innocently and agreeably: those who have
a taste for music ought to be encouraged; but it is
ridiculous for one who has neither voice nor ear to throw
away that time in forceing nature which might be spent to
more useful purposes. . . [7 lines]
