The Roycroft School of Life for Boys

About this book

In the 19th century, a unique educational experiment was underway. This rare document discloses an educational model that placed character first, with equal time given to the development of skills and study. Following is a glimpse of the wisdom contained on its pages: The boy is not merely getting ready to live. He is living now; he is making himself useful; he is doing something for somebody. And this is the first, last and one great lesson we must all learn that success lies in doing something for somebody.
