The founder of all this world wide net-work of cducational institutions is Don Bosco who was born in a village of northern Italy. By hard work and persevering efforts he became a Priest and decided to dedicate his life for the welfare of youth. His ideas in education were so far in advance of his times as to be revolutionary. His methods were novel as they were daring. He followed what is widely known as the PREVENTIVE SYSTEM of education based on REASON, RELIGION and LOVING KINDNESS.
He started with youth centers, passing on to evening classes for working boys whom he taught a trade and made them useful citizens and upright children of God.
“Work and Temperance’ was Don Bosco’s motto. In a society that aims at progress and security there could not be a better motto.
