Book Description

Excerpt from The Month, Vol. 109: A Catholic Magazine; January-June, 1907 In this way the boy is taught to be mindful of himself, and to learn the all-important lesson of self.control. The dangers against which he is warned seem to us alarming enough, blasphemy and perjury, drunkenness and rioting, grossness of life and gambling; but the days were evil, nowhere worse than in most of the great educational centres and the scholars were day-scholars, with little but themselves, acting on the counsel of their masters, to depend Upon for safety in the midst of their surroundings. The words contain no exaggeration; they are rather a comment on the kind of thing the Society of Jesus had taken on itself to combat. Having dealt with the boy's relations to himself, the document goes on to treat of his relations to others.
