Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Culture as a Science The great necessity for a definite plan of presenting the subject of Ethics to children in the public schools has led to the preparation of this treatise. The fact that a work was needed which should be practical, and yet wide in its range, has been constantly kept in mind. For the convenience of readers, the book has been divided into three parts, with the addition of an appendix. In the first part, those fundamental psychological facts which have a bearing especially upon ethical development have been set forth, as it seemed necessary that they be kept in mind by the reader. In the second part, the nature of the various virtues, and practical suggestions for teaching them, are considered, while the ethical aspect of school discipline and of our common-school branches of study are discussed in the third part. The MS. of this work has been carefully reviewed by educational experts, and the conclusions reached have been pronounced correct, without exception. As to the manner of presenting them there has been a difference of opinion. The popular method of illustrating ethical truths by stories, for children as well as for adults, is considered by far the most successful one, and doubt was expressed as to the possibility of teaching ethics in any other way.
