In this essay the published results of the 1896 Ontario survey into the moral standing of teachers and pupils are analyzed. The commentaries of school inspectors are used to make connections between morality and the formation of moral character. A distinction between abstract moral obligations and concrete moral customs provides a framework for understanding the moral activity under investigation. Remarks by inspectors indicate the manner in which the conception of morality was perceived and provide the essential content of the inquiry
