etntor VINI, VIDI, VIC I. Having chosen this quotation for our year- book theme, I feel that it would be appropriate to place it in context for you. It is within the capacity of all to perceive the superficiality of Caesar ' s statement. Since last September we have individually or collecti- vely conquered various tasks which have been set before us. For some the overwhelming obstacles of their first teaching practice, others their week of exams or seminar, and for many the fear of their inadequacy to communicate effectively. Should we have included another dimension with the caption, I THINK? . Perhaps we should, after all Caesar never did occupy all of the island. The examination of this statement in the light of one ' s own achievement is the responsibility of the individual. What did we conquer? Was it the system, or individual inadequacies, or what? I do not know. Perhaps the most important questions we should ask ourselves are, What didn ' t I conquer? and Did I really con- tribute all that I could to that which I did conquer? . As educators we have to continually evaluate the state of our commitments. If we do not take stock occasionally then we lose some of the energy dedication to task requires. In October 1969 I promised you a publication that you would be proud to display. The 1970 edition of Spectrum was made possible only because a few gave more than their initial commitment demanded for a book of this nature. The responsibility which commitment incurs must seriously be considered by us before we enter the teaching ranks. Accomplishment, through involvement, is followed by satisfaction. The yearbook staff feels this satisfaction, as in- deed we all should after our year in Teachers ' College. If we do not, then surely we must take a critical look at our own role since last September. The profession we have entered demands total involvement, not merely in our interaction with students or other staff members, but with all the elements observed in the spectrum of our environment. If we are not willing to become so involved then we do no less than a disservice to our profession. On behalf of the members of Spectrum I wish you well in your chosen career and satisfaction in the accomplishments which will undoubtedly be yours. Kenneth Bond, Editor-in-Chief Spectrum 1970.

In order to cope with the accelerating pace of change, teachers must be able to incite change and control it. During your year at London Teachers ' College you have, no doubt, often considered the teacher ' s role in innovation and change. I should like to share a few ideas with you in the hope that you may become innovating teachers. If growth and innovation cause each other, then the function of the teacher must be to provide the medium in which the child can grow. You may find the following suggestions helpful: 1. Provide each child with a variety of things to think about. 2. Encourage each child to do his own thinking, but don ' t let him stop here. 3. Get each child to put his thinking down so that he can evaluate it. Let him write it, draw it, dramatize it, or put it together with his hands. 4. Encourage each child to evaluate what he has done. Generally, he will know if what he has thought is right or wrong, good or bad. If he is uncertain other children will tell him. If he wants you to evaluate it, get him to go through his thinking again with you and when you do he will find for himself the parts that are not in order. Growth of an innovating teacher should follow the same steps. I challenge you to try them!
