"In every school there should be those who have a store of patience and disciplinary talent, who will see to it that every line of work is kept up to the highest standard. Lessons in neatness, order, and thoroughness are to be given. Students should be taught how to keep in perfect order everything in the school and about the grounds. CT 211.2"
"Let all things be done decently and in order."
EGW's emphasis on neatness, order, and thoroughness in schools directly reflects the principle of 1 Corinthians 14:40, which instructs that "all things be done decently and in order." The EGW passage applies this principle to the specific context of school management and student training.
"kindly, how can he be successful in his teaching? The teacher who is not under the control of God needs to heed the invitation, “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:29, 30 . CT 211.3"
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
EGW directly quotes Matthew 11:29 and applies it to the need for teachers to be under God's control, making this a clear and explicit allusion.
"Every teacher should learn daily of Jesus, wearing His yoke of restraint, sitting in His school as a student, obeying the rules of Christian principle. The teacher who is not under the guidance of the Master Teacher will not be able to meet successfully the different developments that arise as the result of the natural perversity of childhood and youth. CT 211.4"
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
EGW directly references the 'yoke' and 'learning of' Jesus, making this an explicit allusion to Matthew 11:29.
