The Educational Systems of the Puritans and Jesuits Compared: A Premium Essay (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Educational Systems of the Puritans and Jesuits Compared: A Premium EssayIt will be important to keep in mind the import of these names, as thus explained, in the comparison which we propose to institute between the Puritan and the J esuit systems of education. This only will save us from a'narrow and partisan view of the subject, and will lead us to stndy principles rather than names. Let it be understood, then, once for all, that by the J esuit sys tem of education, we intend the system most perfectly represented in the institutions of the J esuits, in what ever schools it is found, whether Protestant or Romish, whether developed in whole or in part. By the Puritan system we mean, the one generally adopted in Protestant schools and universities, but which, in some of its fea tures, has been most completely realized in the educa tional institutes of the Puritans.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
