Q REV. M. J. KIQNNI-Ly, S. J. q'72'COP5Al Q f 5' The College Faculty added materially to the value of education was the introduction of modern languages into the regular curriculum. Before this change was made, all branches of math- ematics, physics, etc., were studied in the original Latin. In the various Colleges in Europe there was a course arranged in such a manner as to have no high school course at all. The College comprised the secondary work and three years of Rhetoric, making a total of tive years requisite for entrance into Uni- versities. On completion of the above men- tioned course the student was in a position to attend the higher institutions of learn- ing and eventually receive his degree. In 1726 when the Society was suppress- ed in France, the Rector of the University of Paris translated the Ratio for his t'Out- line of Studies . Senior Plziloxoplzy UR, il, lomim, 5.1.

The chief things with which the Ratio deals are: the discipline to he kept, the matter to be taught, and the methods to he followed. Having the ex- perience of centuries of teaching, the Jesuits are well able to prescribe a course which shall be followed in their various institu- tions of learning. Previous to the revision of the Ratio in 12532, only the essentials were taught in practically all the schools. However the Jesuits inaugurated into their system of education, the teaching of history and geographyg which had become quite a necessary subject on account of the dis- coveries and the various occurrences in all parts of the world.

-4925 E512 sm ig Ek- The College Faculty Education, as understood by the Jesuits, is the full development of all the faculties that are characteristic of man, the physical, intellectual, moral. It is not the purpose of the Jesuit system to over-burden the studentg rather it strives to obtain for him a well-balanced course, from which the scholar can obtain that which is best suited to his faculties, and to the unfore- seen difficulties which may arise in life. Stress is laid on both mental and moral philosophy for the aid it affords in the development of the mind, as well as for its efficacy in obtaining an unbiased outlook on the world and life. Armed with such a complet: knowl- edge, the student is capable of entering the great battle with the worldg and by un- failing adherence to the tenets taught him, AWINQ A Y 1 Kiwis , ,sy Ricv.
