The Education of Catholic Girls
E-text prepared by Michael Gray
"The Education of Catholic Girls" by Janet Erskine Stuart is an educational treatise written in the early 20th century. The work addresses the training and development of character, particularly within Catholic schools, emphasizing the importance of blending traditional methods with modern educational needs. The book is likely aimed at educators and parents who are invested in the moral and spiritual formation of young women, advocating for an approach that prioritizes the development of will and character alongside academic learning. The opening of this work introduces the author’s intentions and sets the stage for a discussion about the state of education and the cultivation of character in Catholic girls. Stuart begins with a preface by Cardinal Bourne, who underscores the necessity of integrating religious instruction with personal development, warning against modern educational trends that may sacrifice character training for academic results. The introduction reflects on the evolution of educational practices and the importance of maintaining core Catholic values within the educational framework, particularly in light of shifting societal norms. The narrative highlights the complex interplay between faith, character, and knowledge, suggesting that a deeply rooted understanding of one’s religious identity is crucial for navigating the challenges of the contemporary world.
