THE AIM OF JESUIT EDUCATION qpHE aim of the Jesuit system of training is the development of the whole man, man completely considered: man as a physical, an emotional, an intellectual, a volitional and a religious being. Discipline of these distinctive human powers of the student is the keynote in the process of development. The aim of Jesuit instruction and training is formative as well as informative. Information, the acquisition of knowledge and facts, is emphatically insisted on; but, for the most part, as an instrument employed in a process, not as the final purpose to be achieved. The formation of character, the development of the student’s moral conscience for a life of honor, integrity and usefulness in this world and preparation of his immortal soul for the next life, is given the enormous attention and consideration it deserves. Modern education too often neglects to administer to the whole man. The Jesuits apply education to the whole personality of the student. Spiritual values are made superior to the over-emphasized money-values of modern education. The Jesuit fathers keep in mind the ultimate object of all education: the eternal life. Preparation for the earthly happiness of the student is stressed, but the eyes of the student are directed upward and not fixed downward.

They see the materialism, the agnosticism, the scepticism, and the cynicism of secular education biting deeply into the perplexed minds of multitudes of students. They see the cracks in the decaying codes of morality; they see religion taking on an egocentric tinge. The Jesuits aim to equip their students to fight against, to resist and to overcome these intellectual and moral diseases in the world. They aim to equip each student with a ship filled with precious cargo. They aim to make each student the pilot of that ship, to train the pilot to navigate in troubled waters, to train the pilot to be alert and vigilant of dangerous reefs and barriers, to train the pilot to watch and look to The Supreme God of All who stands as a lighthouse beacon shedding light to illuminate the way. The Jesuit system of training aims to give the student pilot a rich, useful, eternally true philosophical cargo. This cargo—scholastic phi-
