Excerpt from The Catholic Educational Review: January, 1911
Of religion. They were in the possession Of the Church from the earliest days, and their application antedates by centuries the formulation Of theories that are now widely accepted as the psychological basis Of education. It is indeed interesting to note that as a clearer insight is Obtained into the activity and development Of the mind, the principles which the Papacy has followed in its teach ing are seen to be the best sort Of applied psychology. On the other hand, the rejection Of these principles by many who nevertheless desire that Christianity should prevail, explains in some measure the difficulties pre sented by the question of religious and moral instruc tion. At all events, it has been claimed that the teaching Of religion must be kept apart from the teaching Of other subjects on the ground that its methods are incompatible with those that are employed in the regular work Of the school; and it is worth while inquiring whether the Church in her long experience has not made use of meth ods that are free from any such Objection.
