Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Training in the Public Schools I have been requested to describe minutely a plan for child training used in the Lagrange School, Toledo, Ohio, for tle past 'seven years. This plan was evolved slowly, and could never have become systematized, as it now is, but for the hearty sympathy of all the teachers of the school, and their never-failing co-operation with the principal in giving a fair trial to ideas suggested. There were many failures at first, and many fine theories were abandoned because a trial proved them impracticable. But failure only served to stimulate us to greater effort, for there was conviction on the part of those interested, that there is a new step to be taken in popular education - that is the recognition and development of the child's higher self; the awakening of the child to his higher powers, teaching him how to develop and use them, that the child may make life happy and successful.
