Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Contributor, Vol. 2: A Monthly Magazine Representing the Young Men's and Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Associations of the Latter-Day Saints; July, 1881
There are certain crimes upon which the education of the common school, under the systems now most popular, has no apparent, and to the mind of the writer, can have no conceivable effect. For instance, crimes against chastity. N 0 one who has any regard for the truth will argue that in the midst of the nations where grades of education exist, or, in other words, where the people are not all barbarous and totally uneducated, that adultery and its kindred infamies are especially and distinctively the sins of the uneducated. Rather, as it is generally admitted, these are the crimes of the rich, and consequently of the better educated. We here use the word educa tion in its common acceptance, as the knowledge acquired at school, and in this sense desire it to be understood when hereafter used in this article.
