Excerpt from Ethical Addresses and Ethical Record
What may lead the universities and colleges and nor mal schools to see this need? What agency can show them the possible methods of such a department of Moral Instruction and Applied Ethics? If we take our answer from the analogy of other lines of educational advance in America, it would be natural that some body of volunteer teachers, some missionary group, deeply convinced of the need and possibility of helpfulness in this direction should forge ahead and create precedent and make suggestion of advance along this line. The progressive movements in American education have so far almost wholly outlined themselves in such fashion: by a few progressive persons starting new ways of teaching. The training of the de fective, manual training and trade teaching, physical cul ture and the higher values of play, out-door schools for the weak, and the education of the working youth and adult, all these and many other advance movements in education owe their introduction into regular school pro vision and their adoption by enlightened States to the self sacrificing, devoted, intelligent initiative of the private in dividuals who blazed the way by successful endeavor.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of efforts to provide moral education in the United States and reveals how the need for a moral education system for a diverse public has accelerated in the present day. The author, an advocate for moral education in the American public school system, argues that the existing system is failing to provide children with proper moral guidance. Several key themes are examined, including the conflict between religious and secular moral education, how teachers and parents are struggling to instill values in an increasingly complex and diverse society, and the need to adapt moral instruction to the present day needs of society. The book draws upon a range of sources, including history, philosophy, and education theory, to provide a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities for moral education in the present day. By examining these problems and offering solutions, this book provides a valuable resource for educators, parents, and anyone interested in the future of moral education in the United States.
