The problem of the School of Tarbiat is of the utmost
importance. It is an essential obligation and duty incumbent upon all the
friends to serve that school. This is, the first school that the friends have
founded in Persia, and all the people know that it belongs to them. Neglect and
carelessness in the management of its progressive affairs is a blow to the
Cause of God. Therefore everyone must give extraordinary importance to the
school of Tarbiat and assist it from some standpoint either through enlightened
ideals or the introduction of modern system of education, either by liberal
contributions or continual encouragement and assistance. To be brief: It is the
hope of this Servant that in the course of time this school become
distinguished from among all the schools of the world. Now consider how
important is this matter.
