The story of the French aristocrat who invented the modern classroom and made teaching a sacred vocation.

In the summer of 1683, a thirty-two-year-old canon of the cathedral of Reims signed away one of the most coveted ecclesiastical benefices in northern France and gave it to a poor priest no one had heard of. Within two years he had distributed his entire family fortune to famine victims. Within five he was living in a rented house with schoolmasters whose social rank was so far below his own that his daily meals with them were felt as a public scandal. The man was John Baptist de La Salle. Three centuries later, the religious community he founded operates schools in some eighty countries.
