In 1932, Herbert J. Taylor believed his employees needed an "ethical yardstick" by which to do business. The four questions he penned became the Rotary Four-Way Test--the pledge that echoes thousands of times each week across the globe in hundreds of languages. The 24 words of the pledge might seem small, but they are significant, encapsulating powerful guidelines for how to treat everyone with respect. As our Rotarian population ages, we need to promote the Four-Way Test to a new and younger generation, many of whom already have too little experience with positive character models. Corinne Gregory dives deep into the meaning and implications of each aspect of the Four-Way Test, shows inspirational examples of how it works in action, creating a useful tool in education and outreach for years to come.While this book focuses on Rotarians, it is applicable to anyone who values positive character, ethics and integrity both personally and in their professional lives. It is a dynamic study in leadership and service, sharing how positive character changes the world for the better.

Many teachers want to contribute to children's moral development, but this desire has not always resulted in a profound grasp of what 'moral education' really means, why it would be desirable and how it can best be achieved. This book confronts these questions by examining what Aristotelian virtue ethics can illuminate about moral education. At the same time, it evaluates whether Aristotelian theory can still be useful for contemporary educational practice. The argument culminates in a morally justified and psychologically realistic account of how virtue can best be taught in schools. The approach, called 'character education', sees moral education not as enforcing rules or transferring values in separate subjects. Instead, it encourages teachers to be a 'morally exemplary teacher', which is revealed through all kinds of small decisions and emotional reactions. This philosophical essay takes a constructive but critical stance towards empirical research about the effectiveness of teaching methods and the realism of character traits.
