It is the duty of the nation to maintain relations of brotherly
kindness with other nations; therefore it is the duty of every
family, as an integral part of the nation, to be able to hold
brotherly speech with the families of other nations as
opportunities arise; therefore to acquire the speech of
neighbouring nations is not only to secure an inlet of knowledge
and a means of culture, but is a duty of that higher morality (the
morality of the family) which aims at universal brotherhood;
therefore every family would do well to cultivate two languages
besides the mother tongue, even in the nursery.
