Excerpt from Philosophy of Education
The Philosophy of Education furnishes a common meeting ground for all who are interested in any phase of educational work. The correct solution of the problems which it discusses concerns the pastor and his people no less than it does the teacher and his pupils.
The Catholics of this country are justly proud of their schools. The magnitude attained by the Catholic school system, during the last few decades, in spite of the double taxation of our people which is involved, bears eloquent testimony to the faith, generosity and loyalty of our Catholic people. The excellence of the work accomplished by the schools for our Catholic children along intellectual, moral and religious lines is abundant compensation for all the sacrifices made.
The time is now at hand for earnest consideration of the great fundamental principles which make for the integration and standardization of our schools. They have all sprung from Catholic impulse and they all share in the common aim of the preservation of the Catholic faith of our children and the salvation of their souls. But there is urgent need of more uniformity in curricula and methods among the several hundred teaching communities which are at present conducting the schools. There is need also of clear vision to save our schools from being injuriously affected by the educational philosophy which is reducing itself to practice in our state schools and which is finding persuasive expression in educational manuals and in current literature.
