Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Instruction and Training in Schools, 1908, Vol. 2 of 2: Report of an International Inquiry In the autumn of 1906 a number of persons interested in educational work met in private conference in London to consider whether more might not be done by means of moral instruction and training in schools to impart higher ideals of conduct, to strengthen character and to promote readiness to work together for social ends. Everyone felt how much the schools were already doing for moral education and training. But would it not be possible by means of systematic moral instruction to accomplish far more? Had not the experience of the French schools shown that this was possible? And was not French experience confirmed by the experience of Japan? The discussion quickly showed that those present were divided in opinion. On the fundamental point at issue, some held the religious sanction to be indispensable to moral education; others that, so far as school instruction was concerned, the appeal to personal and to social considerations would suffice. But, as the debate proceeded, it became clear that each side was feeling the weight of the arguments advanced by the other. The problem was not so simple as it at first appeared. Upon what conditions did the good influence of a school really depend? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
