White, Pat – Didaskalos, 1975
Criticizes John Wilson's "Classics and Moral Education," in this issue, as being ambiguous and vague. The view here is that moral education would not derive automatically from classical studies but must be taught and developed, and based on a value system already present. (CHK)

Wilson, John – Didaskalos, 1975
The study of the Classics may develop three kinds of skills: 1) awareness of the importance of hard facts about a culture; 2) awareness of the facts of human nature; and 3) training the mind to think. Such skills and understanding are an important part of moral education. (CHK)
