Master Literature and Social Studies 1922 - 1947 The Normal School began its session last fall with one of the well-known masters absent from his accustomed place. Mr. John G. McEachern, B.A., B.Paed., had asked for retirement during the summer. Mr. McEachern received his early schooling in a rural school in Wellington county. His secondary education was obtained at Guelph Collegiate Institute. After four years at Queen's University, Kingston, he earned specialist standing in English and History. His professional training was taken at the County Model School at Guelph, and later at the Faculty of Education, Kingston. Mr. McEachern has at various times been assigned the responsibility of chief examiner of certain departmental examinations. He has also collaborated in such departmental publications as the Manual in History, and the Gateway to Booklandf' Teaching experience for four years in the schools of his native county and in the Collegiate Institutes at North Bay, St. Thomas, and London, fitted him well for his appointment to the Normal School here. For more than a quarter of a century he presided over the Departments of Literature and Social Studies. During this time 5066 students have experienced the impress of his kindly personality, his wide scholarship, and his skilful teaching. All will look back with deep gratitude for the inspiration and appreciations growing out of this instruction. C.E.M. Page Seven

During our stay at Normal School we have learned many things, but as we proceed with our careers, experience will be our greatest educator. As we go along let us always absorb the lessons of experience and use them to further our ability as teachers. In most professions, a great trust is placed in the hands of a few. We as teachers are in the position of the few. Many of the things we do will be reflected in our trust. Let us make sure all the reflections are creditable. THE EDITORS Page Ei gist
