Short Studies in Ethics: An Elementary Text-Book for Schools

A collection of concise, classroom-ready essays presents fundamental moral qualities and habits—duty, obedience, truthfulness, courage, purity, unselfishness, honesty, faithfulness, and more—each defined, illustrated with examples, and given practical guidance for cultivating them. Rooted in addresses to pupils, the chapters aim to supplement religious instruction by explaining ethical principles, offering modern examples, and recommending weekly lessons and exercises to form steady habits. The tone is didactic and practical, emphasizing habit formation, everyday application, and the role of conscience in moral development.
