WRITING, and SEWING, or KNITTING, are introduced into these schools, in the higher classes, the one of boys and the other of girls, for the purpose of teaching them to exercise manual ingenuity; for variety in their lessons; and to prepare them...
Sivu 128 - Jesus' sake ; may the holy spirit change our hearts, and make us to love God ; help us to-day to be good children and to do what is right. Keep us from wicked thoughts and bad tempers ; make us try to learn all that We are taught ; keep us in health all the day. We would always think of God, and when we die may we go to heaven.

The eventual efficiency, indeed, of the system of infant education must depend almost entirely upon the cultivation which the mind of the children afterwards receives in the parochial schools; and it derives its peculiar suitableness to the present state of society, from the active and interested attention which is now given to those excellent establishments. It would be highly desirable, that, with every school for larger children, an infant...

Sivu 12 - It is evident, then, that, if it is proposed to educate any number of infant children assembled together under the same roof, in order to establish a uniform and connected authority over them, some mode must be discovered for arresting and for fixing the attention of all. It is equally evident, too, that whenever this might be requisite, it should be possible to make the instructor himself the object of that attention. He must propose to himself, that the ear of the little multitude should be awake...
Sivu 103 - ... is proposed to teach in the school. These he must divide into the following parts; those which may be taught to the whole school at once from the rostrum— those which may be communicated by mutual instruction in the several classes — and those which are suitable to the higher classes alone, and must be confined to the class-room.
