A friend was interested to read about Eddy's 1898 activities, which included her final class of seventy hand-picked students from around the globe. What was remarkable was the very short notice they were given in which to respond to her invitation. My friend notes that "A World More Bright" points out the fact that "those chosen were not just seasoned students, but also promising newcomers". The narrative continues (p. 161) "When asked why she had included so many young people, she replied, "Because I want my teaching carried on."
That sounds like a lesson for us today.
