Character Forming In School (1907)

By F H Ellis

Book Overview

""Character Forming In School"" is a book written by Florence Howard Ellis and first published in 1907. The book explores the importance of character development in schools and provides practical advice for teachers on how to foster positive character traits in their students. Ellis argues that character education is just as important as academic education and that schools have a responsibility to help students become moral and responsible individuals.The book is divided into several sections, each addressing a different aspect of character education. Ellis begins by defining what she means by character and why it is important. She then discusses the role of the teacher in character education, emphasizing the need for teachers to be positive role models and to create a supportive and nurturing classroom environment.Ellis also provides guidance on specific character traits, such as honesty, kindness, and perseverance. She offers suggestions for activities and exercises that can help students develop these traits and provides examples of how other schools have successfully implemented character education programs.Throughout the book, Ellis emphasizes the importance of character education in creating a better society. She argues that if schools focus solely on academic achievement and neglect character development, they are doing a disservice to their students and to society as a whole.Overall, ""Character Forming In School"" is a thoughtful and practical guide for teachers who are interested in helping their students develop positive character traits. It remains relevant today, over a century after its initial publication, as schools continue to grapple with the challenge of educating the whole child.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
