Toronto Teachers College - Yearbook (Toronto, Ontario Canada)

Page 11 text:

Editorial lt is ironic that the closest one ever feels to some- thing is at the moment of separation. This is true of leaving Toronto Teachers' College. One suddenly feels attached to the school and in a way indebted to it, for it is here that we have learned sound philosophy and methodology of teaching. In order that one put his whole heart into any particular undertaking he must first be convinced that the undertaking is worthwhile. In the short span of one year we have come to more fully realize that teaching is not only one of the most important professions of our society but also that, if it is to be well done, it is one of the most technical and difficult both in preparation and practice. Graduation, or even the contemplation of graduation, reminds one of how much the College has done for him. The T966 yearbook is not essentially different from last year's, or that of two years ago, or even from the ragged T953 magazine in the yearbook office. Yet, each year, a few new, different, and valuable changes and additions are made: for example, this year a greater emphasis has been placed on student art, indicated by the change from the Literary Section to a section titled The Arts. Thus, the magazine changes and matures with the school, reflecting the highlights of each particular year. We have tried to give the college our best ideas. As editor I am extremely grateful for the invaluable assistance of all the members and advisors of the Yearbook Staff who did their utmost to fulfil their responsibilities - plus a little more. We only hope that the product of our work is fit to take its place in the records of what has been to all of us a very signifi- cant year.

Q if x,'4m:HI.m. . o N TA R I o THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION In company with people of all races and all creeds all over the world, the people of Ontario are showing, as per- haps never before, a keen interest in education and the product of our school system. In a large measure, the fulfil- ment of the hopes of our citizens depends upon you who will teach in the schools and prepare our children for their life in our modern technological world. What you teach will be important, but how you teach it, your professional confidence, and your own character as a person will have equal importance. As one man phrased it, Education with attention to the build- ing of character will do nothing more than produce a race of clever robots . Your responsibilities, as you take up your duties in our schools next September will be both exacting and difficult. You will not, however, be alone. You will have many allies, your colleagues, your board of trustees, the parents of your children and, when you have gained their confidence, your children themselves. You will have at your call the advice and assistance of your supervisors and the resources of the Department of Education. Do not hesitate to seek assistance when you need it. After a year at Teachers' College, your professional training is behind you, your professional growth is still ahead. You carry with you the confidence of the De- partment of Education and the good will of the people of our Province as you be- gin your career. May your teaching days be happy and rewarding! William G. Davis Minister of Education. 2
