Written in the light of the beatification of Don Bosco (1929), this work can still have much to say to today's educators about the educational system Don Bosco called the Preventive System. It reaches young people where they are, shows them that they are genuinely cared for and helps them to grow towards freedom and maturity. In particular, the Salesian family is becoming ever more conscious of the need for an in-depth understanding of this system of education in order to live and share it. This book is a precious example of that system in its purest form.
