• Since education consists essentially in preparing man for what he must be and what he must do here below in order to attain the sublime end for which he was created, there can be no true education which does not prepare man for the salvation of his soul This philosophy of life, the Catholic philosophy, permeates the jesuif school, the distinctive mark of which is the training of the will m virtue, in sanctity. and in duty, in harmony with the training of the mind m all branches cl knowledge, and the physical education o the body • Thus, the jesuit student does not renounce the activities o this life, does not stunt his natural faculties, but develops and perfects them by coordinating them with the supernatural, and thus ennobling what is merely natural in life by securing for it new strength, not only in the material and temporal, but also in the spiritual and supernatural In other words, the graduate of a Jesuit school is a Christian gentleman of character REV.

• The Jesuit system of education is uncompromisingly opposed to the modern materialistic systems of education which are founded on. and are concerned with, mere theories, methods, and standards To the Jesuit, the purpose of education is paramount That purpose is the same today as it was yesterday, and as it will be forever — the knowledge of Almighty Cod. the loving, honoring, and reverencing Him here on earth, and blissful union with Him in eternity Youth is inexperienced, youth is impressionable How easily doctrinal and moral evils can penetrate and poison the mind of youth! Yes, youth IS inexperienced. youth IS impressionable How easily true principles and true doctrines, true characteristics, and true knowledge may be impressed on the minds of youth' In consequence, therefore, since youth learns equally well by example as by instruction, the men who guide that youth, the men who prepare youth for their journey through life, must be men of sound character, spiritually, morally and intellectually.
