These Baha’i
children are of such great importance to the future. They will live in times, and have to meet problems,
which never faced their elders. And
the Cause alone can equip them to properly serve the needs
of a future, war-weary, disillusioned, unhappy humanity. So their task will
be very great and a very responsible one, and too much care cannot
be devoted to
their upbringing and preparation.
(From a letter dated January 11, 1942, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. 1,
Baha’i Education)
