Abstract

Ellen G. White (1827-1915), a founder of the Adventist educational system, defines education as "the harmonious development of the physical, mental, and the spiritual powers" (Ed 13). This "harmonious development" phrase has, in fact, become a motto within Seventh-day Adventist education, to the extent that it appears in the vast majority of Adventist educational bulletins, typically under the section of philosophy and purpose.
