PIIEPIIBATIUN F011 THE FUTIIBL' Second only in importance to our spiritual growth is our mental growth and development. Since the future belongs to those who prepare for it. every effort is made at St. X to teach us how to face the future confidently. Confidence is possible only when we are equipped mentally in the basic skills, mathema- tical and literary, and in the useful habits of cooperation, punc- tuality, initiative and industry. Hence. there is a methodie pur- pose in what we frequently take to be sheer IIl21fl11PSS, all with the View to developing the whole man IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS.
