(^r. I^yerson, Founder of ■ the Fduoational System of Ont curio. Although still young, our Province has already been called to monm the removal of not a few of her gifted sons, who have severally adorned the different walks of public life. In weight of character, wealth of manhood and width of human sympathy, the late Chief Superintendent of Education stood amongst the foremost and mightiest of them all. Egerton Ryerson was a man of rare diversity of gifts, of remarkable energy, and of abundant mental resources. It would have been easy for him to have excelled in any one sphere of human greatness, but it was his to stand high in several. He was a many-sided man ; richly endowed in various ways. He was a laborious farmer — ^a zealous student — a successful teacher — an eminent preacher, — a prominent ecclesiastic, — an influential editor, — a forcible writer, — a sagacious counsellor, — a most efficient principal and professor, — but he was chiefly noted as a great pvhlic educationist. For a third of a century he was the head and inspiring genius of our school system, establish- ing, moulding, adapting, controlling iv ; and this, the main work of his life, will endure, and com- mand in the future, as it has in the past, the admiration of all both at home and abroad. During all these years he was the teacher's true friend, and the ardent well-wisher o*" the young. His sympathies — tender and true, — as helpful as thoy were healthy, went out to every earnest worker, whether in acquiring or imparting knowledge. The enquiring left his presence directed; the downcast, cheered ; the doubtful, confirmed. Unselfish, generous, disinterested, he devoted himself wholly to his work. How often did his lip quiver and his eye fill when he addressed the gatherings of teachers and pupils upon whom he looked not only with the eye of a patriot, but of a parent, — " Ye are my children all." We can never forget him ; we profoundly mourn our loss ; we fondly cherish his memory. Affection, gratitude, a sense of what is due to so eminent a man, impel us to perpetuate that memory in some suitable way, which will render such a noble life an inspiring example to young men now and in the coming days. In obedience then to one of the purest and loftiest instincts of our nature, let us unite in pay- ing a common tribute of admiration and regard to the memory of him to whom we all susttiined a eoramon relAtionsltip,and to whom we also, without ditttinction as to nationality .political preferences or religious belief, can pay sincere homage, as the i bunder of our present excellent and compre- hensive system of education. In honouring him we do honour to our common country, and recognize our obligation to pay fitting homage to the great men of our Dominion whose names with his are insci'ibed high upon the roll of Canada's famous sons.
