Parent and Child &wkey;>3(l)—Schools—Religious Instruction.</p> <p>The term “education” is not limited to the ordinary instruction of the child in the pursuit of literature; it means more. It comprehends a proper attention to the moral and religious sentiments of the child; in the discharge of this duty it is the undoubted right of the father to designate such teachers, either in morals, religion, or literature, as he shall deem best calculated to impart correct instructions to the child.</p> <p><®^>See same topic & KEY-NUMBER in all Key-Numbered Digests & Indexes</p>
