Story Lessons of Character Building (Morals) and Manners

Selected stories with morals illustrating obedience, loyalty, truthfulness, honesty, kindness, thougtfulness, patience, forgiveness, gentleness, tidiness, modesty, cleanliness, punctuality, greeiness, boasting, laziness, etc. The Preface begins: "ALTHOUGH it is admitted by all teachers, in theory at least, that morals and manners are essential subjects in the curriculum of life, how very few give them an appointed place in the school routine. Every other subject has its special time allotted, but these--the most important subjects--are left to chance, or taken up, haphazard, at any time; surely this is wrong."
