THE MI I TER OF EDUCATIO In company with people of all races and all creeds all over the world, the people of Ontario are showing, as perhaps never before, a keen interest in education and the product of our school system. In a large measure, the fulfillment of the hopes of our citizens depends upon you who will teach in the schools and prepare our children for their life in our modern technological world. What you teach will be important, but how you teach it, your professional competence, and your own character as a person will have equal importance. As one man phrased it, Education without attention to the building of character will do nothing, more than produce a race of clever robots . Your responsibilities, as you take up your duties in our schools next September will be both exacting and difficult. You will not, however, be alone. You will have many allies, your colleagues, your board ot' trustees, the parents of your children, and when you have gained their confidence, your children themselves. You will have at your call the advice and assistance of your supervisors and the resources ol' the Department of Education. Do not hesitate to seek assistance when you need it. After a year at Teachers' College, your professional training is behind you, your professional growth is still ahead. You carry with you the confidence of the people of our Province as you begin your career. May your teaching days be happy and rewarding! Toronto, February 10, 1966 3-is Aim X ' t O N TA R I O William G. Davis Minister of Education.
