Synopsis: This book brings together two units that seek to build capacity in a growing number of individuals to undertake the highly meritorious act of teaching regular classes for the spiritual education of children in neighborhoods and villages. It is the third in the Ruhi Institute's main sequence of courses, and the first to open up a specialized path of service for those wishing to pursue it. Participants who decide to do so will go on to study a series of branch courses for teaching children, while continuing to progress, each at a pace suitable to his or her own situation, along the path traced out by the main sequence. In guiding a group through the book, the tutor should keep the above vision in mind, remembering that only a percentage of the participants may choose to dedicate themselves to this area of endeavor. Beyond its immediate aim, then, the book will serve more broadly to familiarize every individual now firmly set on the path of service with some of the concepts and ideas that give shape to the educational program for youngsters unfolding in his or her village or neighborhood. In this, the book hopes to contribute to a heightened awareness within a community, both of its obligation to nurture children spiritually and of the qualities, attitudes, and conduct its adult members must display in their interactions with them.
