    Since the end of the Civil War, schooling became more practical when business and industrial drawing became the initial step.  The idea was to provide an equal education to all citizens regardless of their birth or future vocation in life (Amburgy, year, p.103). 

    Through education, there is development of the character and of the intellect, as well as the construction of individuality, of self-discipline, as well as the importance of reasoning (Kant, 2008, p.36).  This character development leads to the commitment to duty, which Kant stresses would lead to the discipline of having the reasonableness of which he is able to see for himself (Kant, 2008, p.37).  This insight of what is right or wrong establishes morality, which should be the basis of moral education in the formation of character.  Subjective rules should reflect these maxims that form the characters of the students through discipline.  Obedience is being shaped in this reason, and the necessity to follow rules and instruction is being formed despite some exceptions, especially when it comes to the special child.

In the formation of character, inclination is being insisted, with physical and moral punishment set out to ensure that the child learns to obey and is inclined to obey certain rules and laws of necessity, such as the time of sleep, the time to wake up, the time to work, and the time to enjoy and play.  This creates a sound body and a sound mind, which according to Locke is a full description of a happy state in this world (Locke, 2008, p.76). 

Education has the power to shape the human character through what Kant identifies as the maxims or the enduring principles for human activity (Kant, 2008, p.36).  However, the question here revolves around the different types and levels of health and culture in which the use of physical and moral punishment is to be adhered.  Education, therefore, should never be equal, since children are never born the same and equal.
