Description

From the Preface:

Yves Poutet “puts forward a deep and original study of the thought and actions of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, and for this we must be grateful to him. In particular, he shows with abundant clarity how the Conduct of Schools links the spiritual and the secular, which means that La Salle’s pedagogy is not only the pedagogy of a Christian, but a Christian pedagogy in the fullest sense of the terms. La Salle’s teaching is organized and unified around this connection of the spiritual and the secular.

This is the basis which the authorof this present work has interpreted in such a clear and scholarly way. The author shows especially the position of the illustrious priest of Rheims in regard to the pedagogy and practices current in his day, and he notes especially the unceasing attention and vigilant care that he brought to the formation of his teachers.”
