content: Between 1924 and 1927, Mark A. May and the Reverend Hugh Hartshorne conducted the Character Education Inquiry under the direction of E.L. Thorndike. This resulted in three volumes on the empirical nature of moral behavior among school children. Children were tested on behaviors including cheating, lying, and stealing. Factors including age, intelligence, sex, emotional stability, nationality, religion, home background, and playmates were considered in the study. The set includes the final report of the character education study, a letter from George Coe to Galen M. Fisher, a summary/review of Book I, the Resume Address on Recent Scientific Studies of Character Development, questions about the methods for the character education, a draft of a paper entitled “Techniques for Testing Inhibition in Children,” a letter from Milton Fairchild to Dr. Charters, a review, and other publications.
