THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION It is a pleasure for me as Minister of Education to convey greetings and good wishes on behalf of the Government of Ontario to you, the graduates of the London Teachers ' College. During your course you will have received much excellent advice regarding the important work you are about to undertake, and it remains for me only to wish you every success in your chosen career. To be successful you must be happy in your work, andi hope that you will find the happiness that comes from the consciousness of work well done and above all from the knowledge that you have helped your pupils to develop correct habits, worthy interests and high ideals which in years to come will make this world a better place. My best wishes go with you as you take up your new duties in September. William G. Davis Minister of Education. Toronto, October 25, 1963. 2

SPECTRUM HONOURS MR. BIEHL Dear Graduate of 1964: You don ' t know me, and I am sorry that I don ' t know you. You are the first class in fourteen years at London Teachers ' College with whom I have not been in daily con- tact. But you and I both work at the same job, in some ways the greatest job on earth: that of teaching. I am away from it for a year, in order to see how people in other parts of the world work at it; and to catch up on my reading, and more important, upon my thinking. You see, the number one occupational hazard of your work and mine is that we tend to get into a rut. Be- cause we give out every day, we tend with the years to cease to take in. And in our work we can give out to others only so long as we ourselves continue to take in. That is why I am taking a year away from teaching, the work that I like best in the world. You remember the drought throughout our part of Ontario last fall. Farm wells that had served their owners faithfully through the years gradually began to run dry. Daily they had to quench the thirsty, but for weeks on end no fresh springs had flowed into them. That, I am afraid, is what happens many times to people in your work and mine; especially, incidentally, to teachers like myself who find themselves caught up in administration. The well gradually runs dry. Unfor- tunately, before it finally dries up, the water in it tastes more and more flat and stale, so that it ceases to slake the thirst of those who come to it to drink. So you and I in our very special kind of work need to remember the well that, constantly dipped into and never replenished, grows stale and eventually runs dry. We need to keep running into our wells those springs of new books, of fresh contacts with adult minds, and of ways of living in other parts of the world. If, in spite of this, we find our mental water level gradually dropping- -then we need to close the well down for a year. Of course, that works some hardship. But after a year of reading and travel and thinking, how much more satisfying will be these waters to those who come to them to drink. As you teach, take time to learn; if necessary, stop teaching awhile to learn anew. Methods of teaching, and the philosophies that shape these methods, keep altering from year to year. Some- times, and to some of us, these alterations seem to be in names rather than in ideas. As the French say, the more things change the more they are the same. But the personal equipment of a great teacher has never changed through the ages. It consists of three things. The first is a zeal to help others learn: the second is an insight into those who learn; and the third is a richly stored mind from which to feed the learner a diet worth learning. It is this third thing I have been talking about. Keep learning yourself. There is no better way of helping others to learn. F. C. BIEHL (Principal) 3
