Excerpt from Character Building: A Master's Talks With His Pupils The American Secular Union, a national association having for its object the complete separation of Church and State, but in no way committed to any system of religious belief or disbelief, in the fall of 1889 offered a prize of one thousand dollars "for the best essay, treatise, or manual adapted to aid and assist teachers in our free public schools and in the Girard College for Orphans, and other public and charitable institutions professing to be unsectarian, to thoroughly instruct children and youth in the purest principles of morality without inculcating religious doctrine." The members of the committee chosen to examine the numerous Mss. submitted were: Richard B. Westbrook, D. D., Ll. B., President of the Union, Philadelphia; Felix Adler, Ph. D., of the Society for Ethical Culture, New York; Prof. D. G. Brinton, M. D., of the University of Pennsylvania; Prof. Frances E. White, M. D., of the Woman's Medical College; and Miss Ida C. Craddock, Secretary of the Union. As, in the opinion of a majority of the committee, no one of the Mss. fully met all the requirements, the prize was equally divided between the two adjudged to be the best offered, entitled respectively, "The Laws of Daily Conduct," by Nicholas Paine Gilman, editor of the "Literary World" of Boston, and author of "Profit Sharing between Employer and Employee;" and "Character Building."
