CHURCHILL Superintendent of Public Instruction State of Oregon 1922 MORAL INSTRUCTION IN THE PUBLIC ^ SCHOOLS THROUGH THE STORYV^ 1 ^ It is a matter of vital concern to those who have the interests of the- nation at heart that ways and means be developed to give the children of our schools education along the lines of character building. That "the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow" is a truism makes it none the less imperative that we give careful heed to the kind of character material we are putting, or allowing to be put, into the moral structure of those future citizens. More and more the realization is growing that the school has not been doing all that it can in this important matter, and more and more firmly is the conviction being forced upon those who are thinking in terms of national interest that the school must take over as a definite part of its work the moral instruction of the children. We need to appreciate the fact that the child begins life ignorant of the moral experience of previous generations, and minus the consequent moral wisdom. He must learn to speak the truth, to be kind, to obey, to do his share of the world's work, to serve the good. If he is to progress above the former level, he must be put into touch with that previous experience. And it is not enough for his best development that he be put in touch with it in the hit or miss way of the chance contacts with ordinary life. He must be made the possessor of the accumulated moral knowledge of the race. As he is trained according to carefully developed plans in other branches of knowledge, so must he be in this. Only so can we hope to have a mass of citizens whose purposes and ambitions are in accord with our national standards and traditions and the ever expanding ideals of civilization. The state department of education believes that results can be obtained in moral instruction through the use of stories which illustrate the virtues. In this pamphlet, arranged according to grades, are listed a number of stories illustrating particular virtues, which, as a result of a questionnaire sent out to the teachers of the state, it is considered desirable to try to inculcate in the lives of the children. Under each virtue several stories are given, with reference to the books where they may be found. Under the subject, Respect and Reverence, reference is made in each grade to Ethical Readings from the Bible. Teachers will find many passages referring to each of several virtues. They should make whatever selection that seems best suited to their needs. Most of the stories are selected from books of the state library list for elementary schools. A few are taken from books which were in former lists and which may be found in many libraries or may be borrowed from the state library. The books not numbered are not in the library list. Under the name of the story is given the number of the book in the state list, the author, the title and the page reference. The method which it is designed should be followed in carrying out this work is the indirect method. The teacher should read or tell the story to the children without any direct attempt to enforce the moral. Let the child do his^own^jnoralizmg. He is perfectly capable of it, and %j [ LIBRARY OF CONGrtHS? RECEDED .

Of course, it is vital that he should grasp the point of the story. If he fails to do so at first, tactful questioning will bring the moral lesson out, but by all means "preaching" should be avoided. It is best that the child should not know that the story is being presented to him for any ulterior purpose. Psychologists have formulated the law that the power of normal suggestion varies inversely with the extent to which its purpose is definitely revealed. Someone has said: "The mother who says to her child, 'Why don't you go out on the lawn and see how many dandelions you can pick?' is likely to secure a period of privacy, but if she adds, 'so that I can be alone for a little while,' the result will not be the same." The listing of stories under particular virtues has been carried through the sixth grade. Short stories with a clear application to single virtues are not available for children beyond that age. However, there is abun- dant material for the development of character ideals in longer stories and complete books. For the seventh and eighth grades a list of those especially valuable has been given. These are suggested for home reading. The following books will be found helpful to the teacher: 83 Bailey. For the story teller. 85 Bryant. How to tell stories to children. 87 Gather. Educating by story telling. 104 Brownlee. Character building in school. 105 Cabot. A course in citizenship. 106 Cabot. Ethics for children. 110 Dewey. Lessons on morals. 1693 Engleman. Moral education in school and home. Bryant. Moral and religious education. Haviland. Character training in childhood. Sneath & Hodges. Moral training in the school and home. See also the suggestions for story telling in the. State Course of Study for Elementary Schools. With the conviction that the influence of the stories herein listed will assist in establishing in the boys and girls of Oregon the virtues that make for efficient citizenship, I am asking that the plan of this pamphlet receive careful consideration.
