Character Education in Some City School Systems
Abstract
The history of moral education in the United States can be traced to early colonial times. With the settling of the colonies came the establishment of schools. Their chief function was to prepare ministers for the service of the Church and the State. The intensively religious nature of the courses in such schools was modified by the separation of Church and State and by the changing interests of later generations who gave their attention to commerce and agriculture. Instruction in conduct usually went under the title of Moral Education or Ethics. Interest in this field of education waned rapidly in the public schools.
