Catharine Beecher

If all females were not only well educated themselves but were prepared to communicate in an easy manner their stores of knowledge to others; if they not only knew how to regulate their own minds, tempers, and habits but how to effect improvements in those around them, the face of society would be speedily changed.

The great want of our race is perfect educators to train new-born minds, who are infallible teachers of what is right and true.
