The Need for Ethical Education
By Rev. Dr. Lorimer
THERE is not much ethical education anywhere. In our public schools there is none to speak of, and in the aristocratic home circle there is not much more. Boys and girls are taught to dance, to sing, and to be graceful, but conscience and heart are allowed to shape themselves. Indeed, matters have come to such a pass that in magazines and in literary circles the question is being asked whether we shall have any morals in the future. So little interest does the church, as such, take in the matter, that great difficulty is experienced in getting teachers for the Sunday-school, and more in obtaining money to defray its current expenses. We lavish millions on worldly accomplishments, and dole out a few thousands for religious training.—Rev. Dr. Lorimer.
