Sow an action and reap a habit. Sow a habit and reap a character. Sow a character and reap a destiny. How sharply these few lines of William James bring into focus the responsibility of teachers! We must constantly guard against submerging our talents, our training, and our energies in a sea of trivia. Such short-sightedness will blind us to the challenging, vital task of developing citizens whose personalities glow , whose characters are strong and whose minds are keen. The chief goal of early education is the un- conscious moulding of the mind and character, said Plato. So did Sir Richard Livingstone when he maintained that the teacher ' s major aim should be to kindle the inquiring mind and not to build storehouses of knowledge. The most precious fruits of a good teacher ' s work, said Livingstone, are those that he is never likely to see. Our effect upon a child ' s quest for his potential, though immeasurable in part, nevertheless is most signifi- cant. To have a share in this search makes ours a truly, noble profession. We must, therefore, continually strive to be worthy of the responsibility which is ours. The magnitude of our opportunity is emphasized in William Wordsworth ' s immortal line, The child is father to the man, and in Alexander Pope ' s verse, ' Tis education that forms the common mind; Just as the twig is bent the tree ' s inclined. To accept these thoughts is surely to accept the responsibility to prepare youths for abundant living . Is this not the chief role of education? Let us resolve to look upon those we teach as individuals striving for fulfillment, deserving of our under- standing, and needing our trust. Let us believe in their worth and let us respect the dignity of each as a fellow man. By such a course, we can help to create the good in which we believe. W.T. TOWNSHEND Acting Vice -Principal 5

OUR PRINCIPAL During these years when new discoveries are made in rapid succession, when that which is practical and in vogue today will be obsolete tomorrow, it is difficult to decide which subject should be given precedence in the curricula for our various schools. It is an age when electronic devices are able to register opinions and solve complicated problems more rapidly and more accurately than the human mind. It is an age during which our social standards are changing and in many instances deteriorating. The gap between that which is socially acceptable and that which is morally right has widened into a vast abyss. Under these conditions what should be the function of our schools? What is the proper place of the teacher in our society of today? Let us not lose sight of the fact that there are certain fundamental truths which out lasts all forms of so-called progress. The question still needs to be asked, What profiteth a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? The teacher is still the most influential factor in the development of the character of children. It is still written into the Statutes of this province that one of the duties of a teacher is to inculcate by precept and ex- ample the highest regard for religion .... for truth, justice, loyalty, love of country, industry, sobriety . . . and other virtues. To state this more plainly, the character of a teacher is of greater importance than his teach- ing ability and academic qualifications. The latter two factors are extremely important but are rendered inef- fective unless enhanced by the inspiring personal influence of the right type of teacher. L. B. HYDE Acting Principal 4
