| Notes: | Believing with Plato that "tales which the young first hear should be models of virtuous thought," former Secretary of Education Bennett has produced a McGuffey's Reader for the Nineties. The author draws upon a variety of literature ranging from biblical stories to political legends and speeches to illustrate the catalog of virtues — self-discipline, compassion, work, responsibility, friendship, courage, perseverance, honesty, loyalty, faith — that are foundational to strong moral character. |
