Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book outlines in detail some of the most important subjects of a well-rounded education for young people. The author organizes his thoughts around three important stages of studentsâ lives: childhood, the school years, and early adulthood and marriage. The author suggests activities and areas of study to improve oneâs self both intellectually and aesthetically in order to turn school graduates into wise and capable members of society. The meat of the book concerns the guidance of young males, but a significant portion covers the direction of young women as well. The author, who was a priest, scholar, and professor, feels strongly that education should be about more than facts and figures and discusses at length that a comprehensive education should promote piety, knowledge of the classics, and social graces.
