The Education of Catholic Girls

The author argues that moral and religious formation must underlie all schooling and offers practical guidance for parents and teachers on shaping will, character, and faith while engaging modern curricula. Chapters examine religion, character formation, philosophical foundations, daily lessons and play, and specific subjects such as mathematics, natural science, languages, English, history, art, and manners, as well as higher education for women. The work advocates balancing time-honored Catholic educational traditions with appropriate modern methods to prepare young women for contemporary life.
