"For every child the first industrial school should be the home. And, so far as possible, facilities for manual training should be connected with every school. To a great degree such training would supply the place of the gymnasium, with the additional benefit of affording valuable discipline. Ed 217.3"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
The EGW quote emphasizes the importance of early industrial training, while Proverbs 22:6 focuses on general upbringing and guidance. Both share the idea that early training and education have a lasting impact, though the specific focus differs. The connection is thematic, relating to the importance of early training.
