"Short Studies in Ethics: An Elementary Text-Book for Schools" by Rev. J. O. Miller is an educational text designed to teach principles of morality to students, written in the late 19th century. The work systematically explores various virtues and ethical obligations, aiming to provide young minds with a framework for understanding and practicing good character. Topics include duty, obedience, truthfulness, courage, and many more, fostering a comprehensive view of ethical conduct. The opening portion of the text begins with a preface explaining the author's rationale for creating the book based on his experiences teaching morality. Miller highlights the significance of systematically educating children on ethical principles instead of allowing them to learn through incidental instruction. He emphasizes that moral lessons should complement Biblical teachings, presenting them in a way that young students can relate to, using modern examples. The first chapter introduces the concept of duty, elaborating on the importance of fulfilling one's responsibilities to oneself, others, and God, while also illustrating how understanding and practicing one’s duty can shape character and strengthen virtue.
