Opis: Papers on Moral Education - Spiller Gustav

Excerpt from Papers on Moral Education: Communicated to the First International Moral Education Congress Held at the University of London September 25-29, 1908

The Executive Committee takes this opportunity of thanking the many writers of papers for their effective assistance in making the Congress of service to the cause of Moral Education. Special thanks are also due to the many educationists who replied - in a number of cases at great length - to the Questionnaire, but whose valuable answers, for want of space, could only be summarised.

The Executive Committee hopes that the facts and opinions collected in this volume may help to stimulate the demand for improving the Moral Education given in schools at the present time. The international plane on which we are living to-day has given birth to a number of problems, and emphasised others, not least of which is that of the development of a strenuous and enlightened good-will. It is, therefore, opportune to discuss the relation of physical, aesthetic, intellectual and religious to moral education, the ethical aspects of co-education and of the co-operation of school and home, the organisation of the school, the training of teachers, the question of rewards and punishments, the utilisation of direct and indirect moral instruction, the development of character in the child, and similar problems. Whilst this width of scope may be conceivably prejudicial to the actual discussions of the Congress, there can be no doubt that it meets a felt public need, supplying all who are interested in education with a general survey of the whole subject of Moral Training and Instruction. Future Congresses may be relied upon to deal exhaustively with particular subjects.

The Executive Committee would herewith also express its obligation to the Senate of the University of London for having generously granted the free use of halls and rooms for the meetings of the Congress, to the Governments and other Authorities who have supplied information, given encouragement, and, as it is hoped, will furnish their educational libraries with this volume, and to the many individuals who, at considerable inconvenience, have laboured hard to make the Congress deserving of respect and success.

[Note to Second Edition. - A Summary in English of all the Papers contained in this volume will be found in the Appendix.]
