[quote=Anonymous] Hoping not to get too into acadamese here, but on the subject of the Jesuit educators (which is really pertinent to almost every urban area to this day) I went back to a passage I recalled from the pre-eminent historian Jacques Barzun: Th Jesuits set up schools by the score. In mid-17th. C Europe there were more schools and pupils than in the 19th. C. . . . all likely youths rich or poor were given the means to attend and the merits of the system were soon seen in the galaxy of brilliant minds that it produced. From Descartes to Voltaire and beyond, a good many philosophers and scientists were educated by the Jesuits. (Of course, some of their bright pupils went on to use the same academic skills to undermine the dogmas they learned, but isn't this every good teacher's closet delight?)[/quote]
