THE VOICE OF LONDON TEACHERS ' COLLEGE Dedication IN RECOGNITION OF HER YEARS OF LOYAL SERVICE TO LONDON TEACHERS ' COLLEGE, THE STAFF AND STUDENT BODY RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THIS ISSUE OF THE SPECTRUM TO MISS DOROTHY EMERY, a.o.c.a.. WHO IS LEAVING US AT END OF THIS TERM. MISS EMERY came to the London Normal School in 1922 under the Prinripalship of Mr. Wm. Prendergast. For over thirty years she has ruled beneficently over that part of the school popularly termed The Temple of Art. Miss Emery ' s professional skill commanded the confidence of the teachers-in-training. Her aim, however, was not to secure imitation but interpreta- tion and self-expression. Her classes were never dull. Her progressive outlook and her personal enthusiasm were a continuous challenge. Miss Emery ' s students, especially the many not gifted in art, will always remember her kindness as a critic, her whole-hearted appreciation of effort, and her encouraging approval of any measure of success. Her colleagues too will always remember the charm of her conversation. She was interested in their interests and quick to catch their points of view. Her gentle dignity, her ready wit and her infectious spirit of happiness have endeared her to all who have been associated with her. When the School celebrated special occasions, Miss Emery was often the inspiring genius and she and her students could always be counted upon to supply appropriate artistic settings for the activities. Great teachers have always been great person- alities. Miss Emery is interested in music and the drama; she is a student of literature, history and philosophy; and in her rare vacations she has man- aged to travel widely. Miss Emery ' s colleagues and students wish her many happy years of activity in those fields for which she has so richly prepared herself. 1955 Spectrum, Page 1

Greetings from the Minister M OST gratifying it is to me to know that there are in the Teachers ' Colleges of Ontario this year nearly 2700 prospective teachers, an increase of more than 1000 over last year ' s enrolment. To me that is a clear indication that young men and women are beginning to realize, more than ever before, the opportunities for rendering public service which the teaching profession provides for its members. Of course, our profession offers other advantages in these modern times, as, for example, good salaries, security, and an enjoyable life. This year I have had a good many reports to the effect that the students in our Teachers ' Colleges are, on the whole, more responsible, more enthusiastic, and more buoyant than was the case years ago. That is gratifying, too, and may be due, as I think it is, to the new status and the greater prestige now enjoyed by the members of our profession. I hope you will face your new task next September cheerfully and happily in order that you may be able to perform your duties efficiently. A certain Service Club admonishes its members in this sentence; Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Perhaps we cannot always carry out this admonition fully but it is a good idea to try to do so. Nor will you be carried away, I hope, with any of the so-called new and unsound ideas regarding education because, in this old world, there are certain fundamental principles which never change, never have changed, and never will change. Of course, we make progress but always we hold fast that which is good. We must provide a good basic education which will equip the pupils of today for the duties of adult life which means that they must learn to work hard while they are in school; enjoy play when play is in order; and become accustomed to good firm discipline at all times. To the members of the staff of the London Teachers ' College and to all the students of that great institution, I send my personal good wishes for abundant success in all that you undertake. December 14th, 1954. Page 2, Spectrum, 1955
