Excerpt from Moral Education in School and Home Though there is universal agreement that moral education is the supreme objective in public-school work, the literature dealing with this aspect of the work is not very extensive. Of the few books that have been written, the writer has not seen one that undertakes to analyze the possibilities for moral instruction or training in the everyday activities of the school. It seemed to the writer, therefore, that there is a distinct place for such a book in teachers' reading circles and in normal school and other courses for teacher-training. The writing of this book was undertaken, however, with a full appreciation of the difficulties involved in saying anything helpful to teachers or parents who are concerned with the problem of character-building in school and home. No claim is made for the discovery of any specifics, or any royal roads to the desired goal. Every child presents a new problem. Individual differences among children are so numerous that successful dealing with one is by no means a guarantee of success in dealing with another. Endless study, tact, sympathy, and charity are demanded of every teacher who would direct, guide, lead, or assist a child into the moral life which should be his. On the other hand, there are more elements of likeness than of difference among children. On the side of inheritance they all have instincts, impulses, and a psychophysical organism attuned to a world of stimuli to which they must respond. In a given school they find those stimuli in the teacher, their classmates, their books and lessons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
