The book presents the accounts of St. John Baptist De La Salle as an educationist. It brings out clearly that De La Salle was the first in the field for training colleges for teachers, as distinct from ecclesiastical seminaries. It traces in detail his greatest achievement - the establishment of a body of trained teachers for "poor schools" at a time when there were none as yet.
