Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spirit of the Constitutions for the Religious Congregation of Poor School Sisters of Notre Dame: Devoted to the Education of Female Youth
Much has been said and written on education from that time on, and yet we have really lost sight of educa tion in this pedagogical'period. Friends and advocates of licentiousness seized our institutions to secure their funds, and those who expected no figs from thorns were not deceived; no, their fears were more than real ized; The pupils of this new school modeled and remod eled every year anew now play their roles on history's stage, in the sight of kings and princes, as modern trib unes of a modernly cultured people. The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and in our days we behold effects rapidly succeeding their causes; for not only the teeth of the children are set on edge, but many a wretched fa ther has experienced the same sad result.
