66:7.2 The interiors of the central [[temple]] of [[worship]] and the ten council mansions of the supervising [[groups]] of supermen were indeed [[beautiful]] works of [[art]]. And while the [[residential]] buildings were [[models]] of neatness and cleanliness, everything was very [[simple]] and altogether [[primitive]] in [[comparison]] with later-day [[developments]]. At this [[headquarters]] of [[culture]] no [[methods]] were employed which did not [[naturally]] belong on [[Urantia]].

66:7.4 The definite [[order]] of [[family]] life and the living of one family [[together]] in one [[residence]] of comparatively settled location date from these times of ''Dalamatia'' and were chiefly due to the example and [[teachings]] of the one hundred and their [[pupils]].

66:7.6 Fad sponsored the Dalamatia [[plan]] of [[teaching]] that was carried out as an industrial school in which the [[pupils]] [[learned]] by doing, and through which they [[worked]] their way by the daily [[performance]] of useful tasks. This [[plan]] of [[education]] did not ignore [[thinking]] and [[feeling]] in the [[development]] of [[character]]; but it gave first place to manual [[training]]. The instruction was [[individual]] and [[collective]]. The [[pupils]] were taught by both [[men]] and [[women]] and by the [[two]] acting conjointly. One half of this [[group]] instruction was by [[Gender|sexes]]; the other half was coeducational. Students were taught manual dexterity as [[individuals]] and were socialized in [[groups]] or classes. They were [[trained]] to fraternize with younger groups, older groups, and adults, as well as to do [[teamwork]] with those of their own ages. They were also familiarized with such [[associations]] as [[family]] [[groups]], [[play]] squads, and school classes.

66:7.16 This was the [[law]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:3._DALAMATIA.E2.80.94THE_CITY_OF_THE_PRINCE Dalamatia] for almost three hundred thousand years. And many of the stones on which this law was inscribed now lie beneath the [[waters]] off the shores of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persia Persia]. It became the [[custom]] to hold one of these commands in [[mind]] for each day of the week, using it for salutations and mealtime thanksgiving.

66:7.17 The [[time]] measurement of these days was the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_month lunar month], this period being reckoned as twenty-eight days. That, with the exception of day and night, was the only [[time]] reckoning known to the early peoples. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-day_week seven-day week] was introduced by the Dalamatia [[teachers]] and grew out of the [[fact]] that seven was one fourth of twenty-eight. The significance of the [[number]] [[seven]] in the [[superuniverse]] undoubtedly afforded them [[opportunity]] to introduce a [[spiritual]] reminder into the common reckoning of [[time]]. But there is no [[natural]] [[origin]] for the weekly period.

66:7.18 The country around the [[city]] was quite well settled within a [[radius]] of one hundred miles.

The [[cultivation]] of the [[soil]] is [[inherent]] in the [[establishment]] of an advancing [[civilization]] on the [[evolutionary worlds]], and this injunction was the [[center]] of all [[teaching]] of the [[Planetary Prince]] and his staff throughout the three hundred thousand years which intervened between their arrival on [[Urantia]] and those [[tragic]] days when [[Caligastia]] threw in his lot with the [[rebel]] [[Lucifer]]. [[Work]] with the [[soil]] is not a curse; rather is it the highest [[blessing]] to all who are thus permitted to [[enjoy]] the most [[human]] of all human [[activities]].
