CHARACTER COUNTS! is an ethical program
designed for the purpose of bringing
together into a public setting a common
ethical language? It touches children,
the home, the community, and city at large.
It creates a moral awareness in the
development of character, producing a
community sensitive to transcendent
values. This ethical ideal is based on
qualities, highly regarded in all
communities of the world, from the past
to the present, and is the foundation
upon which a credible democracy is based.
The ethical values
used in the
CHARACTER COUNTS!
program are:
trustworthiness,
respect,
responsibility,
fairness,
caring,
good citizenship.
It is much cheaper to
ethically build a whole
child than to repair
a broken man!
