Excerpt from Manual of Morals for Common Schools: Adapted Also to the Use of Families Wm most sciences have stooped to children, and con descended to become instructors of the little ones, that of Morals one of the most important has kept a distant reserve, and wrapped itself in cloudy abstractions. Some work on Morals for Common Schools, says the Hon. Horace Mann, which shall excite the sympathies as well as inform the intellect, which shall make children love virtue as well as understand what it is, is the greatest desideratum of our schools. The following pages are an attempt to fulfil this want. This work is designed to be placed in the hands of every scholar of our public schools, as soon as they are able to understand it, and to be studied like any other text-book. The execution is not, indeed, in all respects, equal to the author's desire, but it is hoped that even the feeblest contri bution to this most neglected part of juvenile instruction will not be unacceptable. We cannot overrate the importance of having the children of our country thoroughly indoctrinated in the principles, and duly imbued with the spirit, of morality.
