The Making of a Man: Letters from a Father to His Son at School is a book written by Joseph H. Appel. It is a collection of letters that a father wrote to his son while the latter was away at school. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including education, character development, relationships, and personal growth. The father's advice is grounded in his own experiences and values, and he often draws on examples from literature and history to illustrate his points. The book is intended to be a guide for young men as they navigate the challenges of adolescence and prepare for adulthood. It is written in a warm and engaging style, and the father's love and concern for his son are evident throughout. The Making of a Man is a timeless and inspiring work that offers valuable insights for readers of all ages.1921. From the Foreword: These letters were written by a business man to a very practical boy. They seek to show that all life should be productive and creative; that creative life is growth; that creation is going on now; that the world is a going concern; that the world is in the making; that man is in the making. They endeavor to help a boy to understand his part in this Great Experience, to make him realize that it is literally up to him to become a real man. The Boy�������s reactions and some of his letters in reply make a human-interest story which seems worth the telling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
