ABSTRACT

Moral education must first of all remove all that cramps the soul of childhood. Children require such moral education and character organisation as will fit them to deal with the practical affairs of life, and enable them to do well when actually launched upon the business of the world. It is the intellect that receives the chief attention, but not the feelings and propensities which are at least equally important to the future success and happiness. For many children of a nervous temperament habits of system, order, punctuality, temperance, self-reliance, perseverance, and self-control may be their salvation in after-life. All children are open to suggestion. It is especially useful in the moral education of nervously disposed children, because these are particularly impressionable and sensitive to impulses communicated to them by suggestion treatment. Guiding ideas that will produce interest, enthusiasm, and noble passions may be introduced.
