Frederick James Gould was een toegewijde onderwijsdeskundige, seculier en humanist, die zich diep inzette voor ethische ontwikkeling. Hij concentreerde zich op het creëren van morele lessen voor kinderen, met als doel kritisch denken en verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel te cultiveren, onafhankelijk van theologische doctrines. Gould was een vooraanstaande figuur in de rationalistische en ethische bewegingen en werkte actief aan de hervorming van onderwijspraktijken en de verspreiding van verlichtingsidealen. Zijn belangrijke bijdragen liggen in het bevorderen van een op principes gebaseerde, humanistische benadering van leven en leren, wat een blijvende indruk heeft achtergelaten op de onderwijsfilosofie.
