Teach them reverence and obedience to the laws both of God and man.

Teach them sobriety, temperance, justice, and truth.

Let their minds be rightly instructed--imbued with kindness and brotherly love, charity, and benevolence.

Let them possess at least so much learning as is to be acquired in the common schools of the country.

In short, let their welfare be dearer to you than any earthly enjoyment; so shall they be the richest of earthly blessings.
My countrymen, let us henceforth remember that we are men.
