• 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.

SJ. • This holy purpose of increasing Cod's glory or. earth is the mainspring of Jesuit training This it is that makes him realize that he must be himself well-schooled in virtue if he is to bring others to a closer union with Cod. that he must first tram his own will to complete accord with the Will of Cod if he is to lead other wills to a closer conformity with the Divine Plan. For he is always mindful of the fact that, as a minister of the Word of Cod. he has taken upon himself, not only his own salvation, but the salvation of the souls of others as well. He must train more than the mind He must tram the will, the heart, and the soul Mr. Robert E. Wilkinson.
