Summary

This code was authored by Joseph Soleil, a member of the Radical Socialist Party in France and the in charge of school legislation matters at the \xC9cole normale sup\xE9rieure of Fontenay and Saint-Cloud at the Ministry of Public Instruction (Wikipedia). It assigns a three-fold responsibility to teachers: to train the individual, the worker, and the citizen. Education, according to the code, "is the means to give all children, whatever their diversity, to reach their maximum potential" (Soleil, 1923).
The code emphasizes the sort of education students should receive, "the correct exercise of thought and sure reasoning, critical thinking, the idea of ??responsibility and respect for man," and the necessity to "teach what uplifts and unites people and refuse to be, in any way whatsoever, the propagandists of a partisan conception" (Ibid). Individual development is the objective, to "acquisition of autonomous attitudes and behavior."
