The next century will affirm that a true education must include spiritual education, that without its presence in the curriculum, pupils will step out of school into life only half-educated and only half-prepared to meet its struggles. It is not only a well-informed mind that education should develop but, just as much, a sensitive and balanced one. An education which leaves a man completely ignorant of his higher nature is surely not a finished one. He should leave the classroom with a mature approach towards the major experiences which he is likely to get. And how can it be called mature if he has not developed a mature understanding of himself, with a resultant mature handling of himself?
