:In this book, Kim Hays studies two distinct educational and moral worlds and illustrates their contrasting value systems: of pride, loyalty, and leadership at the military academy; and of simplicity, equality, and concern at the Quaker school, as well as the two schools' shared values of cherishing individualism while encouraging group identification and service to the community.
