Excerpt from Moral Training of the Young-Pedagogical Principles and Methods, And, What an Ethical ture Society if For
I have been interested in the Ethical Society, not only on account Of the basis it offers, but the common meeting ground which it gives to those of different beliefs, not only because it brings ethics thus to the front, but because the Ethical Society as an association represents the ear nest endeavor On the part Of individuals to combine on behalf Of the interests that are most precious and impera tive. And I take it that these interests which have been at work in the organization and that have drawn me per sonally to a closer association with the Ethical move ment, are those which have animated the efforts of your leaders, here and elsewhere. An Ethical Society is not primarily a protest against other religious organizations. It is not born Of any failure to appreciate the enormous service rendered to the world by every institution that in any way seeks to conserve the ethical interests Of hu manity. There are few associated with the Ethical move ment, I take it, who do not realize the debt of the world to every phase of organized religion, every great system which has given its great ethical enunciations and exer cised an influence towards a larger and nobler relation ship Oi men and men. The Ethical ture movement represents an endeavor to gather together the best in fluences and teachings, the highest reaches Of thought and imagination which the world has anywhere and every where expressed, in order that they may be brought to a focus upon the conditions of our own time and the prob lems of our personal lives.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, part of an ethical address series, is concerned with the scope and challenges of teaching children ethics. The author, an education professor, believes intellectual, moral, and spiritual preparedness is essential before a child may begin to act ethically. Though they may know an action is right or wrong, children need guidance to apply that knowledge to their behavior. The author establishes a four-part process to develop ethical conduct: Firstly, the child must be trained in forming correct judgments through various mental exercises. Secondly, conduct must be regulated according to moral ideas and the sentiment of duty before the child can reason out why. Thirdly, the child must be instructed in moral ideas and their significance to help them understand the value of ethical action. Finally, the child must be given the opportunity to act out these moral ideas to develop a personal experience of them. The author emphasizes that all moral training should ultimately be in service to others, and that it is an imperative necessity in an increasingly complex and ethically challenging modern world. The book provides a comprehensive and insightful guide to the development of ethical conduct in children and its profound impact on society.
