	St. John Baptist de la Salle
		John Baptist was the eldest child of Louis de la Salle and Nicolle de Moet de Brouillet.
		De la Salle was too prudent and too well inspired by God, not to give his institute a positive character in its twofold object: the Christian education of youth and the cultivation of that spirit of faith, piety, mortification, and obedience which should characterize its members.
		De la Salle is entitled to be ranked among the advanced educators of the eighteenth century and among the greatest thinkers and educational reformers of all time.

	LaSalle High School :: St. John History
		De La Salle argued rather convincingly for teaching reading and writing of the vernacular because he knew that he only had a few years with these children and that the time was therefore too precious to squander on a language that most would not encounter at length.
		De La Salle didn’t invent or discover the "simultaneous method" as it was called, but his insistence that the Brothers of the Christian Schools use the method helped to establish it as the model that had predominated education since then.
		De La Salle also insisted that his teachers maintain discipline and order in their classes, ideas not original to the Christian Brothers that came to be standard in education when de La Salle’s methodology proved successful.

		Once convinced that this was his divinely appointed mission, John threw himself wholeheartedly into the work, left home and family, abandoned his position as canon at Rheims, gave away his fortune and reduced himself to the level of the poor to whom he devoted his entire life.
		This community grew rapidly and was successful in educating boys of poor families using methods designed by John, preparing teachers in the first training college for teachers and also setting up homes and schools for young delinquents of wealthy families.
		Yet even in his success, John did not escape experiencing many trials: heartrending disappointment and defections among his disciples, bitter opposition from the secular schoolmasters who resented his new and fruitful methods and persistent opposition from the Jansenists of his time, whose heretical doctrines John resisted vehemently all his life.
