edgeworn. Scarce book. The true story of a man who started out as a child
incapable of learning. A victim of misunderstanding, of unsound psychology and
prehistoric teaching methods, he was relegated to manual work on a farm. There,

education, became a priest, a scientist and an educator. Shields was the
outstanding Catholic educational leader of his time. (Shields, Thomas E.)
