The " Great Leaders Series" aims to meet the needs of moral and
religious secondary education. Adolescence is preeminently the
period of Idealism. The naive obedience to authority characteristic
of childhood is to a large extent supplanted at this time by
self-initiative; by self-determination in accordance with ideals
adopted or framed by the individual himself. Furthermore, the
ideals of this period are concrete rather than abstract. They are
embodied in individual lives, and, generally, in lives of action.
Hence biographies of great leaders appeal strongly to the
adolescent. They furnish examples and stimulus for conduct along
the higher lines. The "Great Leaders Series" will include a large
number of volumes devoted to the study of some of the greatest
moral and spiritual leaders of the race. Although designed
primarily for use in the class-room, they will serve admirably the
purposes of a general course of reading in biography for youth.
