The book is an ideal fundraising tool. For example, it may used as a premium or
a re-sale product for the fundraising. The successful fundraising will

family will benefit from the book. Suggesting to the parent-teacher
associations (organizations) (PTA/PTO) of the schools is also a good idea.

APPENDIX: School Violence, Youth Problems, Violence Prevention, and Conduct
Education in the 21st Century
In recent years school violence has made many pieces of nation-shaking
highlighted headline news, which have astounded the Americans. It may happen at
any school, at any time, and by students of any age. Some experts believe this
is the most important national crisis the U.S. is facing.
"In the 21st century the problem will happen not only continuously in the U.S.
but also in lots of other countries all over the world, if we do not act." said
Dr. John Newton in the late 20th century. Recent tragedies have proved this
warning prediction.
"The most effective and proper way to solve the problem is appropriate conduct
education." said Dr. Newton.
"The significance of the problem" is much more important than "the number of
people killed in schools".
In addition to shooting and killing, other kinds of school violence, such as
rape, sexual assault, aggravated assault, robbery, bullying, mugging, fighting,
theft, harassment, ..., and other youth problems, like suicide, suicide attempt
, suicide inclination, pessimism, sense of inferiority, lose of self-control,
relationship problems, emotion problems, drug abuse, discrimination, ...,
cannot be ignored, either.
Some measures may handle a few "symptoms" temporarily and partially but are not
solutions for education, particularly in view of our responsibilities for the
whole society.
Now an effective, proper, comprehensive, deep-rooted and permanent solution is
needed!
The book, "Complete Conduct Principles for the 21st Century" by Dr. John Newton
, is regarded as "the very one that can effectively help solve the problem of
school violence in a right way" by some experts in education, including Dr.
Steve White, who pointed out clearly: "If students, teachers and parents can
learn the conduct principles in this book well, then that 'unsolvable' problem
will be solved. It is not difficult at all to learn them, because the book is
a simple, easy, clear, convenient and self-contained handbook, well designed to
suit most people."
"Unlike most books of this subject, it is NOT a religious book, nor is a
collection of old conduct rules."
As analyzed in the Preface of the book, "from now on learning good conduct
should be placed as No. 1 in education."
The book's merit and importance have been recognized and praised by many
education experts, elected public officials, and world leaders. Some
educational units, ranging from the level of nation or state to individual
school or university, have ordered the book as textbook, reference book, gift
to students, or as an active action to prevent school violence, to improve
education and to benefit students, teachers & parents.
"The book will also be effective for violence prevention for the whole society.
" said some experts.
Hence, to prevent school violence and other violence, to improve education, and
to benefit students, teachers, parents, & the whole society, I earnestly
request you to inform the students, teachers, parents, libraries and other
relevant people you know of the availability of the book.
A reasonable method you may consider choosing is to simply forward this letter
to them.
Although it will be helpful and appreciated, it is NOT necessary that you state
any endorsement or the like.
Your efforts to prevent school violence and other violence, to improve
education, and to benefit students, teachers, parents, & the whole society will
be highly appreciated.
