The book aims to explore the methods and importance of teaching moral principles to children, emphasizing the necessity of both moral ideas and habits. Adler presents the challenges faced in creating a system of unsectarian moral instruction suitable for a diverse society. The opening of the text discusses the significance of moral education, arguing that there is a twofold nature to it: the creation of right ideas and the establishment of good habits. It addresses the historical context of educational practices, identifying a conflict between traditional authoritative approaches and newer ideals focusing on individual insight and moral reasoning. The author acknowledges the practical aspects of moral training within schools, suggesting that character development should be a central aim of education, whereas conventional methods often prioritize discipline and academic instruction. The preface sets the stage for a careful examination of how moral instruction can be effectively imparted to children, meeting the challenges posed by varying religious and philosophical beliefs in a pluralistic society.
