Excerpt from Moral Training in the School and Home: A Manual for Teachers and Parents The aim of this Handbook is to furnish teachers with a manual for moral training in elementary schools. It is not a guide for teaching ethics to children, for such instruction belongs to a later period of their development. It merely aims to assist teachers in their efforts to train children systematically in the virtues. Such training, however, involves imparting moral lessons, and of course the teacher must know what these lessons are, and when and how they should be imparted. This book deals briefly, and in a very concrete manner, with the subject matter and methods involved in such moral training. It is the outgrowth of the authors' experience in preparing a graded system of moral instruction by means of fairy tale, myth, fable, legend, parable, allegory, hero and heroine tales, biographical sketch, and historical event, in the form of a series of literary and ethical readers (The Golden Rule Series, The Macmillan Company, New York). The book may be used independently or in connection with the Series. It is the earnest hope of the authors that both the Handbook and the Series may prove serviceable to teachers desirous of introducing systematic moral training into elementary schools, and to parents desirous of introducing such training into the home.
