A Wanting Element Of Education
Somc say train the intellect and life will become better and surer. But experience is against them. Learning does not beget virtne. The worst crimes of the past twenty-five years have beoj committed by men of the highest education. You must present virtue to the mind day after day in its brightest light, so that the mind will become enamored of it. You must endeavor to makt; the practico of virtue a habit, What is done for the hand and tle intellect must also be done for the will. Moral training begots the one great thing wuuting on earth - the thought of duty; duty to God and man. In the education of tbis country teaching men to be servan ts, to drive liorses and labor in the streot ? I think not. It is largely â– without a moral side, and the sense that it is noble to labor, that every man has a duty to preforni, is being destroyed. It produces a dream that it is iguoblo to labor, that the purpose of life is to be a grand gentleman. All education that aftbrds no moral training is incomplete. With all possiblo training we all know how difficult it is to begood. - Monsignor Caisel.
