Sinopsis

A practical guide to shaping healthy bodies, sharp minds, and responsible citizens in today’s schools.

This book offers a clear, classroom‑tested path for integrating morals, citizenship, domestic science, physical training, and recreation. It discusses practical steps like improving school environments, nourishing students with proper meals, monitoring health, and using play and dance to support development—without relying on theory alone.



Readers will find concrete activities and discussion prompts that bring theory to everyday school life. The approach emphasizes hands‑on learning, age‑appropriate settings, and the value of public safety and civic involvement in shaping well‑rounded young people.




  • Strategies for healthier schools, including seating, ventilation, lighting, meals, and regular health exams.

  • Guidance on play, sports, and dancing that balance fun with safety and developmental needs.

  • How to teach citizenship through concrete projects, city planning ideas, and interactions with local officials.

  • Practical ideas for fostering thrift, responsibility, and teamwork in students.



Ideal for educators and parents seeking a holistic, action‑oriented approach to character development in a school setting.

Excerpt from Character Development: A Practical Graded School Course, Correlating Lessons in General Morals, Citizenship Domestic Science, Physical Training Vocational Guidance and Recreation

It is refreshing in the war of words about moral education in public schools to read about things already done. Mr. Taylor is not a theorist nor a speculator nor a debater. His long experience with children and his practical approach to them from several angles convinces him that moral training, the real and actual manufacture of a good boy or girl, is a large and many-sided undertaking. A child is a mass of struggling potentialities. Heredity has poured into him the instincts and impulses of the ages; nature has endowed him with mind and body; environment and teaching are playing their streams of efforts upon him. Yet he is a unit, a Bergsonian universe of movements, an organism growing and changing every minute. How blessedly easy would moral training be if only the child were really as simple an entity as the older disciplinarians thought him!

This new conception of the child and the breadth of moral training, Mr. Taylor has caught and developed. He sees that a child grows; he sees that morality must grow, too. I believe this book will serve to forward the new and larger view of moral education.
