The writer stresses that good moral habits begin at home. If parents are moral, industrious, and place a strong emphasis on improvement and elevation, their children will adopt similar habits. Strong moral, spiritual, and industrious habits offer a way of being perceived by the community in a positive light, and do much to deter social prejudice.
