Excerpt from The True Friend of Youth: Or, an Abridgment of the Life and Virtues of the Venerable J. B. De La Salle, Founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools

A philosopher, illustrious by more than one title,* thus exalts the merit of our venerable founder There existed in France, previous to the revolution, a body of men charged with the public education of the children of the people, known by the name of the Brothers of the Christian Schools: an excellent body which, in its princi ples, object, and form offered more than one resemblance to that of the Jesuits, and whose Institute, but little known, is a masterpiece of wisdom and knowledge of human nature. This body was organized in the last century by the Abbé de la Salle, a simple canon of Rheims, who, for so great an enterprise, possessed no other means than his own determination, but who, with this iron will, overcame insurmountable obstacles. I know not if he is a saint in the eyes of religion.
