O ye who have peace of soul! Among the divine Texts as set forth in the
Most Holy Book and also in other Tablets is this: it is incumbent upon the
father and mother to train their children both in good conduct and the
study of books; study, that is, to the degree required, so that no child,
whether girl or boy, will remain illiterate. Should the father fail in his
duty he must be compelled to discharge his responsibility, and should he
be unable to comply, let the House of Justice take over the education of
the children; in no case is a child to be left without an education. This
is one of the stringent and inescapable commandments to neglect which
would draw down the wrathful indignation of Almighty God.
