Though he was first attracted to the field of elementary education, he saw the wisdom of giving a higher training to young men able to take advantage of it, 94 ST. JOHN BAPTIST DE LA SALLE and accordingly opened classes offering advanced courses in Franch literature, geometry, architecture, mechanical drawing, and accounting. Some of those subjects, prior to his time, had not been taught at all, and he too...k pains to prepare some of the Brothers for this novel and important work. The Christian academy had two important results: It gave the students a thorough training in several practical subjects, subjects which would increase their earn- ing power and efficiency; and it served to fill the gap which heretofore had existed between the elementary schools and the universities.
