"The following studies in manhood form a natural sequel to the author's two previous volumes, In Life's School and The Heritage of Youth. In those he especially addressed young men. In this book he appeals to a wider constituency. The careful student of modern society must note with concern that the standard of moral lfe is not rising so rapidly as the standard of material life, that the physical is outrunning the ethical. Now the teaching of history is that the eithical alone endures.
The goal or objective of all social effort is the realisation of the Kingdom of God on earth, but it is becoming increasingly clear that our way to the Kingdom is through the individual...
The aim of this book is to produce "souls of good qulity" as well as healthy bodies and cultured minds. In his treatmen of manhood, its individual, ethical, and social aspects, the author ventures to hope that some readers may find a message that is not unneeded to-day." From Preface.
