The Catholic Educational Review, Vol. 12 by Catholic University Of America Pdf
Excerpt from The Catholic Educational Review, Vol. 12: June-December, 1916 It is the singular advantage Of our Catholic schools that they are conducted by women who devote themselves with out reserve to their task, whose hearts and minds and lives are wholly given to developing, in knowledge and in virtue, the souls of our children. And for this very reason it is essential to the success Of Catholic education that our Sisters should be prepared, not only as teachers, but also as Catholic teachers. They need all the instruc tion that university courses can supply, but they must receive that instruction from a Catholic source. Here at the University, while they are trained in the science and art of education, they are also imbued with the true spirit Of the teacher, the spirit of Christ himself. They are taught to see and to appreciate all knowledge in the light of God's eternal truth, to understand the facts of nature, the events Of history, the vicissitudes of civiliza tion and the institutions established by man, as so many items in the order which is ruled by Divine Providence. And thus seeing God in all things, they are able to keep God ever before the minds of their pupils. They are prepared to make religion not merely a part Of their teaching, but the very life and soul of all that they teach. They are trained to unify their teaching, and, what is more important, to make God the source and center of that unification.
