and the d~eputation represented a ten
dency to withdraw moral education from
"the whole school life into q specia
corner apart, and this he regarded no,
merely as a futile but as a positively
evil tendency. We did not venture
ourselves to call it worse than futile
but vi perceive the grounds OF hii
suspicion. The president thinks ap'
parently that moral education to have
any real value must be ditfused through
out the wear and tear practice Of schoo
life, and that the introduction OF 6
special, separate, direct systematic and
graduated course might perchanot
tempt some teachers, already perhaps
overtaxed, to relax their present prao-
tical and as 1t were parasitic endeav'
ors on behalf Of good conduct and To

DO mainly theoretical, relying upon pre-
cept as distinct from practice. the out
come OF such a relaxation and relega'
ton would undoubtedly be "evil' ano
calamitous. As ARISTOTLE said, anc
no subsequent discovery has upset hii
saying, the young become virtuous by
doing virtuous acts and by getting thu

the latter promised to be even in q
