Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Growth and Development of the Catholic School System in the United States In a previous volume, entitled "The Catholic School System in the United States: Its Principles, Origin, and Establishment," the history of the Catholic school movement in this country was outlined from its origin in early Colonial times down to the great immigration, about the year 1840. The present volume is a continuation of the same study. The characteristic feature of the school movement during the long period covered by the first volume was the slow but steady growth of the schools. During the period that is now studied, this feature continued to be predominant as long as the first great influx of Irish and German immigration lasted; but about the time of the Second Plenary Council of Baltimore, which was held in 1866, a new era in American Catholic school history may be said to have begun, an era that was characterized by the efforts made to develop and perfect as well as to expand the existing system. The author has, accordingly, aimed at bringing out into clear relief these two essential features of growth and development that marked the course of the school movement from the beginning of the Immigration Period to the present time.
