Benson Conference Report October 1970

From Karl G. Maeser

Ezra Taft Benson, Conference Report, October 1970, p.22

Said Karl G. Maeser, "I would rather have my child exposed to smallpox, typhus fever, cholera, or other malignant and deadly diseases than to the degrading influence of a corrupt teacher. It is infinitely better to take chances with an ignorant, but pure-minded teacher than with the greatest philosopher who is impure."
