Publisher's Synopsis
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.
