"In this way every study may become an aid in the solution of that greatest of all problems, the training of men and women for the best discharge of life's responsibilities. Ed 239.1"
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Both passages deal with the importance of training and education for responsible living. Proverbs focuses on childhood training, while EGW broadens it to the training of men and women for life's responsibilities. The core principle is the same.
