Moral Education in French Public Schools
The text discusses how morals are taught in intermediate to secondary French schools with emphasis on practical duties to parents, peers, country, and God. It notes the use of textbooks praised for concrete, varied, simple moral content and some efforts to teach morals independently of religion while maintaining core religious cornerstones. Paul Sabatier calls it a reform arising from churches but not against them, and Bracq predicts lasting character formation: think right, feel right, will right, do right, be right.
