If a mother is well educated, her children will also be well taught. If the mother is wise, the children will be wise; if the mother is religious, the children will also be religious. If the mother is a good woman, then the children will also be good. The future generations depends then on the mothers of today. Is this not a vital position of responsibility for women?
