This book advocates for the establishment of a national education system to enhance the morals, religious convictions, and intellectual prowess of poor children. The author, concerned by the growing number of uneducated, impoverished children, suggests a method of teaching using volunteer tutors. He emphasizes that education should not be extensive, promoting utopian ideals, but focus on providing a practical education that will enable children to lead fulfilling lives as laborers, servants, or tradespeople. The author's objective is not merely to educate the mind but to fortify the soul against vice and instill a profound understanding of religious principles. The book contends that such an investment in the education of the poor will yield significant returns for society as a whole.
