Description
Summary:This is the final article of a series of three dealing with the moral and social factors involved in the treatment of nervous disorders. As a concluding paper it is concerned with the preventive phase of such work. 1. Traditional and modern theories of moral and religious education are reviewed and evaluated. The modern scientific conception of religious education is accepted and the data of this investigation presented in support of such a theory. 2. The main conclusions of the writer relative to the nature, causes, and proper treatment of "nervousness" are briefly reviewed. 3. Certain general implications of the data as a whole are pointed out. 4. Finally, the specific nature of the type of education demanded to prevent "nervousness" in particular, and personal inefficiency in general is discussed. That such a preventive education is essentially religious is the thesis of this article.
