Story Lessons on Character-Building (Morals) and Manners by Loïs Bates
"Story Lessons on Character-Building (Morals) and Manners" by Loïs Bates is a collection of moral educational tales written in the late 19th century. The book aims to teach children important lessons regarding character development and proper manners through engaging stories that illustrate virtues such as honesty, kindness, and obedience. Each lesson is designed to resonate with children, making moral education both accessible and relatable. The opening of the book introduces the purposebehind the collection: to provide structured story lessons that emphasize the importance of morals and manners in everyday life. It begins with a whimsical fairy tale titled "The Fairy Temple," where fairies gather to build a temple of precious stones representing virtues like truth and kindness. This story sets the stage for subsequent lessons, which use simple narratives involving children and relatable situations to reinforce positive behaviors—such as listening to the "good voice" inside us that guides us towards honesty and obedience. The author intends for the lessons to be applicable both in school and at home, making a genuine effort to cultivate thoughtful and well-mannered children.
