There is a temperament that finds it impossible to speak of such subjects, a temperament that would eagerly desire to warn youth, and to awaken the one who is blindly following a wrong path, but who finds it impossible to speak the necessary words. This reserve springs from a delicate and sensitive respect for human nature; it has been described by Mohammed as Hayya, "the quality of the truly religious", and it prefers to place the greatest trust and confidence in youth, and in friends. It is one that draws out and fosters virtue in others. How many young people owe their unstained records to the trust and confidence placed in them by the mother! At the same time education requires something more than a silent condemnation; it requires the clarification and understanding of that law of reciprocity which is the basic law of nature.
