Teachers can be to their students only what they are. If they are not Christians, they cannot truly teach Christian principles. If they are not SDA Christians, they cannot teach the third angel's message. They can- not lead the youth into a meaning- ful relationship with the truths we hold so dear. The negative influ- ence of public school teaching can be so subtle as to the effect upon a student's relationship to his God that it might not be noticed until it is too late. It may, in fact, come from a popular teacher whose in- fluence may be impossible for a parent to counteract. 6. Jason Schmidt from Browning elementary school working on his Indian blanket. 7.
