In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...

CENTRIPETAL, a. Tending towards the center. Centripetal force is that force which draws or impels a body towards some point as a center; as in case of a planet revolving round the sun, the center of the system. [Note: The common accentuation of centrifugal and centripetal is artificial and harsh. The accent on the first and third syllables, as in circumpolar, would be natural and easy.]
Tending, or causing, to approach the
center.
Expanding first at the base of the inflorescence, and
proceeding in order towards the summit.
Progressing by changes from the
exterior of a thing toward its center; as, the centripetal
calcification of a bone.
R. Owen.
