Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, Vol. 3, pp. 203-4
Children should be encouraged in the home to read and be instructed in the value of good books and how to discriminate between the good and the bad in literature.
EDUCA'TION, noun [Latin educatio.] The bringing up, as of a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.” (Noah Webster, Webster's 1828 Dictionary, 1828.
