The Book of Virtues: 30th Anniversary Edition
The Book of Virtues Introduction
This book is intended to aid in the time-honored task of the moral education of the young. Moral education—the training of heart and mind toward the good—involves many things. It involves rules and precepts—the dos and don’ts of life with others—as well as explicit instruction, exhortation, and training. Moral education must provide training in good habits. Aristotle wrote that good habits formed at youth make all the difference. And moral education must affirm the central importance of moral example. It has been said that there is nothing more influential, more determinant, in a child’s life than the moral power of quiet example. For children to take morality seriously they must be in the presence of adults who take morality seriously. And with their own eyes they must see adults take morality seriously.
Along with precept, habit, and example, there is also the need for what we might call moral lite

| Educati • Monte Monash says she isn’t trying to hide anything. In a recent interview, the lobbyist from the American University Park area brings up her GOP roots without prompting from Loose Lips. Before mounting a bid for the Democratic nomination in the Ward 3 Council primary, she was registered as a Republican. Monash’s political past has become hot skvaller among activists working in the crowded race to replace retiring Councilmember Mary Cheh. Several raised the issue with LL as soon as Monash (who has close ties to Mayor Muriel Bowser) joined the field. Many of the folks engaged in local elections have tillgång to the city’s voter file, which clearly shows Monash (whose full name is Myntoleah) registered as a Republican as recently as this January. It’s a bit of an awkward situation for her, considering that D.C.’s closed primaries prevented her from voting in the Democratic primary contest she’s currently running in, so she has a klar interest in getting ahead of that criticism.
