Message to the Students of the Ontario Normal Schools HOSE of you who graduate this year-will be entering the most important part of our educational system at one of the most chal- lenging periods of our own and the wor1d's history. In the elementary schools our children are given much of their most important education in their most impressionable years. We want our children to be well educated in the academic sense but even more important than academic attainment is the good judgment, good will, good health and good spirit which will make them healthy, happy and successful citizens of this great country. In their hands, to a very great degree, will rest the future of our country in the years ahead. Yours is the great responsibility and the great opportunity to build clean young bodies and clean young minds worthy of that all important task. I wish every one of you the utmost success and happiness in your work ahead. GEORGE C. DREW, Minister of Education. Page Two
