Excerpt from The Essentials of Character: A Practical Study of the Aim of Moral Education
Moreover, the educator may always safely insist upon the qualities that belong to character in this sense; but respecting the peculiar gifts Of each individual, he must, as it were, wait upon nature and be guided by the revela tion She makes. It is risky for a father to decide that his son shall be a physician or a man of business except as the son's own development gives the signs of fitness for the calling: but the parent must needs resolve that his child shall grow up into honesty, industry, courage, and the other indispensable elements Of character.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a philosophical study of the genesis of character, explaining the profound role that native impulses play in the formation of a person's morality. The author emphasizes that a clear understanding of these impulses and how they can be refined through cultivation is essential for caregivers and anyone influencing the growth of a child. The author demonstrates that character arises out of these impulses, through organization, coordination, and enlightenment. Consequently, moral education must strive to connect with these sources of power by directing the impulses of nature into the service of human ideals. Ultimately, the author argues that a person without character is far less than human: and a man of character is a man in the fullest sense.
