LI3I99S 7o/iJ^ Sk PREFACE. Tlu' Toronto Noriiml School was institiitcci l>y tin- late Dr. Rycrson for t'lc purpose ol' tniiniiiy tcuclitirs Tor l'ul>lic School work. Ill fact, it was an integral part ol" tlic .system ol' cfhication wliich lie rcconiiiiemlcd after I»a\iii;^ xisitcil tlic sciiools of Kuroi)i' ami th<' I'^iiitcil State.s, under the direetiou of tlie (loveriiiiieiit, with a view to It^j^ishi- tioii of a coinpreheiisive character for the .schools of Ontario. An experience of Hfty years in the develo|>nient of this .system (the Normal School included) has clearly shown the wi.sdom of his conclusions und its adaptation to the .social and municipal institutions of the country. There was no feature of the systmii of eriucation founded hy Dr. Ryer.soii which had a moi'e important liearin;^' upon Klementaiy and Hijjjh School education than the establishment of the Toronto Norma' School. For mail}' years it was the only educational .seminary at wiiich the traininj^-, ([ualif^ inn' a man or woman for the profession of teachinir could In- olitained. It was always a Normal School, even in the modern .sense of the term, for tivery suliject which the student was expected to master wa.« also considered in a pethij^ooical s let tlii' Province see liow the oM stiuU^nts apj)r»'ciatc'rl tin' w^rvitM'.s of sonic of the j^rcat men who, iirarly lialf a ccnluiy aj;o, wcrt' coinicctctl witli the uducational work of tin- Province. Th(y were all {jroat teachorH — men of nia^^metic personality and thoroughly in sympathy with the teacher's work. It was meet that their names sh(jul(l be revered by their stndents and iieid in {^ratefnl renu^miirance b}' tlie country which tiiey served. Tiieir portraits in the school rooni when; they taught will remind successive generations of teachers, of the honor that has been done them, while the impetus they gave to .scholnrship and education will go on, it is hoped, increas- ing with the wealth and growth (?r' '^''v""'' Celebration was inaugurated by Divine Service in he Metropolitan Church Toronto, on Sunday evening, October 31st, 1897. It was conduct-^d by the Pastor. Rev. R. P. Bowles MA B ]) assisted by Revde. Jolm R. Phillips, R. P. McKay, M.A., aMcl b- Pev' K H Dewart, D D., who preached the sermon. Tlie centre p;w8" of the church were reserved for members of the Convention, among whom were he Committee of Manageu.er. the present xNormal and Model School staffs, inspectors of schools from different parts of the Province teachers from the city and fron. the country, and a number of ex-' students of the Normal School, some of whon. are members of otl er professions, while others have retired from professional work. SERMON: THE TRUE ELEMENTS OF INDIVIDUAL AND NATIONAL PROGRESS AND STABILITY. '^'^Kiiib Rev. £. H. Dewart, D,D. (A Htuilent, of tho lat- Scisiun). Memorial Commemorations. The commemoration of important events has been practised from the earliest times of which we have any account. In Sroid Tes , ment we hnd many inau-estiizg illustrations of this uZX wT erected a stone pillar and called it Beth-El-the house of (frd IT he saw the vision of angels and received DivirreXionsATj^^^^^^^ passing of the Jordan, Joshua set up twelve stones to te' a memoHll of that event, so that .hen the clildren should ask th^iifXrs ti] Hi 2 ' M If '■ What meaneth those stonos?" they could tell them of wliut the Lord luul (lone for Israel. After a victory over th<^ PhiJiHtiiieH, Saiiiml set up a lueniorial stone and called it " Ebenezer,' saying," Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." The Feast of the Passover was a perpetual memorial of a gnvat deliverance. In more modern times people have commemorated great battles whicli gave national deliverance from threatened subju.<;ation : the beginnings of impoiiant movements that were fruitful in blessings ; the work of patriots who lived noble and useful lives and removed evils that had oppressed the people ; and events that afTected pei'sonal and family life for good. Such commemorations are not foolish or unfruitful. All that is good in our pi-esent civilization is the outgrowth of seed sown in the past, ^n reviewing and commemorating such events as I liave men- tioned, we may catch something of the spirit that in.spired the brave deeds thut call forth our admiration. We may gather lessons fi-oni the past to nerve and guide us in the conflicts of the present. And a more intelligent appreciation of the rich inheritance to which we are heirs .should pi'omjit us to livt- more worthy of our great privileges and opportunities. An Event Worthy of Commemoration. The connnon disposition to place a high estimate on things that possess outward features that attract attention often causes us to undei'estimate forces that operate more quietly. But the event we celebrate on this occasion, thougli it lielongs to the latter class, is eminently worthy of l)eing held in grateful remembrance by the people of this covuitry of every cla.ss and creed. The establishment of a Normal School for the training of tccachers for oin- Public Schools was the opening of a fountain at which many thirsty souls, whom cir- cumstances had previously shut out from such a privilege, wei'c per- mitted to slake their thirst for knowledge. I can testify from per- sonal experience and oliservation that the students at the earlier ses- sions were nearly all of this class. I shall never forget how the announceuKmt of the opening of the Normal School in Toronto which I incidentally saw in a nevv.spaper, fell on my path, in the backwoods of the county of P(>terboroiigh, like a beam of light from Hf;aven. J had tried, somotinu^ lu'fore that, to make an arrangement to go to another educational institution and had failed, and was very much disap])ointed. I read the announcement over and over. It seemed almost .^00 good to be true, but it seemed to be just what I required. I wrote to Dr. Ryerson, and received an encouraging anssver. So I stiirted for Toronto and tramped one hundred and twenty miles through the November snows. Like nnother pilgrim we read of, I found hills of ditflculty and sloughs of despond before I reached the celestial city. But though footsore and weary, I trudged on and never thought of turning back. A kind welcome from Dr. Ryerson and Mr. Robertson, the Head Master, made me forget ai! the fatigui" of tlu- journey. But the ITormal School was not a mere local fountain of know- ledge. It has been a living spring that has sent forth streams of salutary influence over the whole country, increasing the intelligence and (juickeiiing the intellectual life of nuccessive jjent^rations of our youth. We must not measure the value of the institution simply by the benefits it has conferred upon teachers. To change the figure, they carried the torches they lighted at its tires t(j illuminate many a remote place. They did not learn, what they learned for themselves, but for the youth of the country, whom they were to teach. The value of the results, like that of all rtsults in the sphere of mind and thought, caimot he tabulated, or weighefl in any commercial balances. When we speak of the large ninnber of teachers trained in our Normal Schools during the last fifty years, ami the great increase in the number of schools and pupils, we only touch some or.tward and visible signs of pi'ogi-esH. The most important results are the impro /ement in the efficiency of the teachers and the schools, and the great influence for good that has bet;n exerted on the character and life of our people, by the diffusion of knowledge and the mental training (jf the young. Higher than tlie work of parliaments, and ne.Kt in importance to the work of the Christian churches, which teach th(> great truths of our Holy religion, I am disposed to rank the work of our schools and colleges, which pi'epare the coming men and women of our country for the duties of citizenship. The people of our country are largely what the churches and schools have made them. We should not allow 'hither sectarian or political prejudice to prevent us from candidly recognizing the great debt we owe to those who founded and those who developed and built up the educational system that has done .so nuich for our country. It is well known tliat the school system of Ontario has in a great degree inspired and moulded the systems of the other provinces of our Dominion. (Dr. Ryerson was a trustee of this Metropolitan Ohurch.) A Period of Growth and Proj^ress. The period that has elapsed sinee the opening of the Normal School in this city (Mnbracis the greater part of Queen Victoria's Umg reign, which I'.as been so i-eccntly celebrated throughout the Ei-itish Empire, and therefore includes most of the same events. It is a period characterized by change and progress in all departments of human thought and action. There have been wonderful discoverie.s in science and inventions in the mechanical arts, which have les,sened labor and conduced to the comfort of human life. Steam and electricity have to a great extent aninhilated distance and bi-ought distant countries near together. Countries that had been for ages inacci^ssible, have been thrown open to the missionary labors (jf the churches. In the sphere of legislation there have been gi'eat political and social reforms which removed evils that formerly' oppressed the people. There ha", been a steady growth of civil and religious liberty which has broken down the barriers to jirogress and given increased power to the people. Aijencies and institutions for thi' promotion of social reforms and the relief of want and suffering have been greatly iindtiplied. In the churches thei'e has been a decline of sectarian feeling and a growing spirit of union, which tends to make the denominations more like difl^(>rent divisions of the " one army of the livmg God." There is a more general conviction than ever before, that the great object of religion is to produce unselfish benevolence and righteousness in all the conduct of life. There is also a fuller recognition of the place and power of woman, and greater practical interest by the churches in the religious education of the young. The World is not Growing Worse. I cannot agree with those good people who believe the world is growing worse. " The good old times," of which we hear .so much, were times in which credulity, injustice and oppression flourished. We can- not go very far back in the history of the past till we reach a condi- tion of things that would be deemed intolerable in these times of light and liberty. There is a great contrast between then and now : ' ' Learning then was Fortune's favor, to the poor by fate denied ; Now, the gates of Truth and Knowledge unto all stand open wide ; And the poor man's boy, with only honest heart and active brain, May evince his native kingship and the liighc.st place attain. Ignorfiuce, Injustice, Foil}', linger still while inyii.uls wait. Till the valleys ai"e exalted and the crooked paths made straight ; But the direst ills and follies which becloud the world to-day Are but shades of darker evils that have almost passed away. Rouuh and steep the path of progress ; slowly earth's ojjpressions die ; Yet the world is rising higher as the burdened years go by. Truth and Righteousness unconquered, in this warfare shall prevail ; This the God of Truth has promised, and His word can never fail." The Text Corrects a Popular Fallacy. Without attempting any formal exposition of the text I have read, we may take these words as aflirming that knowledge is dying out, and he is becoming harder and more selfish. The case of the church at Laodicea is a striking illustration. Tn their own esteem they were "rich and increased with goods and had need of nothiijg;" but in God's sight thay were " wretched and misei'able, and poor and blind and naked." Oh I for a prophet's voice to ring out above the din and clamor of the mammon-worship of our times thegieat truth spoken by our Lord, that " a nuin's life con.sisteth not in the abundance of the things which he posscsseth." The Value of Knowledgfe. Both I'eason and Scripture testify to the value of knowledge and the evils of ignorance. The fact that God has endowed us with facul- ties of observation and i-eflection and has spread around us fields of knowledge for the exercise of these faculties .shows that it is the pur- pose of our (Creator that we should gather knowledge and be intelli- gent beings. What we call the sciences are simply the facts we ha\e observed in the works of the Creator, placed in orderly relations to each other. As light to the L'yo. as music to the ear, as food to tie? body, so is the knowledge of the works and word of God to the mind. To widen the gauge of our knowledge of truth, to strengthen and develop the faculties with which our Maker has endowt'd us, to climb steadily upward to loftiiM* heights of mental and moral elevation from which we can survey with broader and clearer vision the grand and beautiful and true in God's universe, is the dutj', the interest, and the glorious privilege of all. If we fail to grow in knowledge, we must fail in accomplishing the great ends of life. There might as well be no truth or beauty in Nature, if we do not devek)p any capacity for appreciating all that is revealed in her vast and varied resources. Many have eyes but .see not, and never have apprehended the sublime truth of the Hebrew Psalmist, that " the heavens declare the glorj^ of God and the firmament showeth His handiwork." To such people we may fitly propose the Poet's (piestion : " how canst thou renounce the boundless store of charnis," etc. The Scriptm-es tell us " for the soul to be without knowledge is not good," and Hosea represents God as saying : " My people are destroyed ;i I ■ 4 6 foi' lack ui kiiowledjie." Ii'iiorance misleads niid (.■n.slavcs. K;t';wlcd<;c cinancipateH and slu'ds lij^lit nn the ])ath of life, lijiionmcc jUHiVonts niontal {^rowtli and lessons liapjjiness. Jt limits the power of useful- ness, and breeds superstitious credidity. The deepest moral f education, and will regard it merely as a shai'pening of the mental faculties for the .secular busi- ness of life. But those who regard man as a being made in the divine image, with an immortal and spiritual nature, to glorify (jod and enjoy Him forever, will esteem education as a preparation to tit him for his high duties and destiny as a child of (iod and an heir of immortality. Moral integrity and Christian faith nuist be united witli intellectual acuteness and intelligence. Faith in the great truths \»rtant social and p(jlitical problems to.be .solved in the coming years. Ditt'erent remedies are presented bj' different thecH'izera as their panacea for the ills that aHect humanity. They do not reach the seat of the disease. Brcthron, the only efficient remedy for these ills is the practical apj)lication of the principles of the reliffion of Christ in all the relations of human life. A Defence of Individualism. Some social reformers of our day disparage individualism and talk as if society as a whole may, in some way that is not very clear, be uplifted by the Church or State. But societ}' is made up of indi- viduals, and it is just what the character of the individuals who com- pose it make it. There can be no such thing as a h(jly church made up of unholy nieuibers. No nation can occupy a high place in the scale of Christian civilization, if its people are ignorant and demoral- ized. If the members of a church are converted and consecrated men and women, that church will be a powerful agency in the promotion of ever}"^ moral and .social reform, if the people of a nation are intel- ligent and virtuous, that nation will be distinguished by progress and stability, and shall not fail to be a force for truth and righteousness in the world. The Apostle Peter, when .speaking of the Christian graces, .says, " For if these things be in you and abound, they make you tliat ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." As the disciple of Him who preached to the woman of Samaria at Jacob's well, we cannot atfbid to despise efforts for the .salvation of the individual. There is no way of elevat- ing nations or communities except by uplifting the individuals of which they are composed. All the great reforms that have blessed the world were begun by individual souls, who were inspired by some high purpose. We have societies enough and to spare. The greatest need of the world to-daj? is more men and women who will be living epistles, illustrating the truth and power of religion in all spheres of human life. We want them in the pulpit — men of keen intelligence, broad charity and sincere piety. We want them in our political and judicial offices — men of incorruptible integrity and true patriotism. We want them as editors of our public journals — men of broad unsec- tional views, who will realize the sacredness of their work as educators of public opinion. We want them in the marts of trade and com- merce — men of unswerving uprightness, to whom wealth will be a iMcans „t usotiilnesH, and not a mere instrunKMit ..f sdHsh irratiHcation. We want th.Mu in our Sunday ScI.ooIh an.l Puhlic SclmoLs-nien un.l wome,. who teel it O be a pran.l an.l .suered tl.inj; to di.ect the Hr«t awakenings of intellectual lite un,l influence the destiny of inunortal n S f^'l'^V /-I"'". 7r,'yi^'''^'-^'— »«n and wo.uen who shall ennoble the lovvly toil oi daily life by the faith and patience with %e.sselH unt(. honor Imv.n^r ,„„■ spirit unto hoIinesH.

The ceremony of uuveilinjj tlie portruits of past PrineipalN of tin- >Jormal School, past Head Mistrossc", of the Girls' Model School, and past Head Masters of the Boys' Model School, took [)lace in the Hriu- oipal's lecture room, on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in the presence of a larj^'e numher of visitors. Hon. (ieo. AV. lloss, LL.J)., Minister of Education, occupied tht; chaii' and delivered an addre.ss in which he outlined the history of the Toronto Normal School and welcomed all those who had responded to the invitation of the Connnittee. The i)ortrait of Mr. Robertson was presented hy the students of the Normal School many years ago; those of Dr. Sangster, Dr. Davies, the. Head Mistresses oi the Girls' Model School, and the Head Masters of the Boys'Model School, were presented by the Education Department. m I!' i; i ■lliil' i'l THOMAS JAFFRAY ROBERTSON, M.A. David Fotheringham. (Iii!ion lui\ injif liml Ion;;' t'Xpci'ifncf in Hie luisinrss " ol' School InHpcction, and slicwn the rciinisitc knowlcdMc ami diHcri'- " tion wdncli ai't! rciinii'cil lor tlic due pi'rForniancf of tlic diitir.s of .such " an other he apijoinlcd to carry the i'on'i^oin;,' plan into cH'cct at .sucii " time and under such ri'^ulationsas tlir i^>oiird may hereafter pi'escrihe." in Decemher of the same year(lS4.">) Mr. Rohertson was con- tirmiMl in the ofHce of Chief Inspector. In 1H47 Dr. Kyerson appears to havr applied to the C'oinmis- sionersof Education of Ireland askiii;^ them lo .s'dect a person (jualitied to take the Head Ma.stcrship of the Normal School in Toronto : for in a letter still in the po,s,sc,ssii)n of his faniih'.and dated duly ist of that year, the Secrelai'ies of theConuiiissioners notity Mi-. Rohertson that, in Hceordance with such application, the ( 'onniiis.sioners had selected him to fill that position. Accepting this a])pointnient, Mr. Rohertson soon aft>'r crcsseij the Atlantic in a sailintj vessel, and reached Toronto enrlv in Seyttcnihci-, 1S47. The Normal School was first opeiird in the Old ( Jovernnient House, corner of Kinr removal was made to the huildiii;;' in rear of that now called the Edu- cation Department, and known as the Model (irannuar School. This continues to be the home of the Normal School at the present date, Durint' the winter of 18().5-(;, Mr. Hobertsons healtli failine; him, he wa8ij;ranted leave of absenee : and this was renewed in the sununer followinj;; but he never recovered, and died on the 2fith Septcnilier, 186G, after a service of nearly twenty yese walls during the past tiity years. 1 believe the teachers have (;nd( avored to inculcate into the minds and hearts of the students the principles enunciated by Lord Elgin : so that they should go forth in the different pathways of life saturated with the principles of good citizenship, and carrying with them the essential ([ualifications for making life a success. They should go forth bearing those influences which are calculated to raise a type of manhood and of womanhood whose very lives would be a benedic- tion to others and a credit to tho.se teachers who trained them. They should go forth to carry on the busy work of life, aad show by life and character that the training received within these walls had been of inestiniabli value in the development of a high tyne oi Christian citizenship. How important tb:'refore, thnt we, as teachers and edu- -•itors should realize the responsibility tliat rests upon us, that we should remember, that the boys and girls in our public schools, the young men and the young women in our high schools, our normal schools, our college, and universities, will soon be out into the broad, liusy world, engaged in its conflictp anrl that upon the face, heart and soul of these pupils and students will lie the reflected image of the teacher. How essential that we should be thoroughly equipped for our work, that we should be thinkers and not machines, that we should be men and women of original ideas, lofty purposes, and sure and steady aim, rattier than the fossilized relics of past ages. Again, I have said that I am glad to be with you to-day, but not- withstanding the pleasure and enjoyment which I experience in being present with you, there are traces of sadness and sorrow mingletl with it. I look around me and ask myself the question, " Where are those who were my classmates and my associates in this Normal School years ago " ? I see a few of them hen^ to day, l!fc]auy of them are scattered here and there oyer this continent, carrying on the great work of life, and some lie yonder in the cemetery of the city from 15 whicli I come, and soiiii' I doubt not in tlie ci'motery of this city, and some here and tliere in the different parts of th'H province; thoy have tinisliod tlieir labors and liave gone houu; to tlie great school above where the Lord Jesus Clirist Himself s'.all preside ; where the uni- verse shall be the curriculum of stuciy and eternity shall be the time for graduation. Again. I see before me some of those wiio were teachers when I was a student in the Normal .School. I sse the present Principal and Vice-Principal, who stand shoulder to shoulder eufijaged in the great work of trainii'g and educating the young people of thi.s Province, ami sending them forth to be a blessing to the country in which they live, l)ut I look in vain for the face and form of him who at that time occupied the position and assumed the responsibilities of the Principal- ship. The Hood of years of which Bryant speaks has tai:.'n him too, and I look back in my memory iiivl I call to mind the many acts of kindness that I received from the Rev. Dr. Davies. I vull to mind his genial smile and his pleasant countenance as often I went to his private room for advice, for assistance and for instruction. And as I perform the dutj'^ that devolves upon me to-day, by reijuest of your connnitteo, I do it with pleasure mingled with sad- ne.ss and regret. As I unveil the portrait of the Rev. Dr. Davies, a portrait painted in enduring colors to typify the imperishable worth and tlie imperishable renown of its original, I trust it may remain for ages to come where we place it to-day within these walls. And as we lOok upon it in the future, may we all be reminded of the gonial nature and personal worth of him, who for nearly a (juarter of a centuiy occupied the high, honorable and responsible posi- tion of Principal of this Normal Sctiool. 8ir, I cannot say more, my heart tells me of many things wliich 1 cannot find language to express to you to-day, but ere another half centui-y shall come and go, doubt- less you and I and many others in this assembly to-day sliall have passed on into the givat future that lies before us. Others will rise to take our places and to carry on the work of life and to perform duties similar to tho.sc performed by us to-day.

(A forimr pupil nf The <»irls' Modi'l Schrml), Mrs. Dorcas Clark occupied the posif^ion of Head Mistress of the Girls' Model School, Toronto, from Januc.-v, l.sr)2 until .June, 1865, and confess ignorance of any subject ; and her sympathy with those who failed in winning honors forbade anything like boastf Illness on the part of successful pupils. Mrs. Cullen was indeed an ideal to many a girl who passed through the Model School, i^.s little children we admired her gracious, dignified manner ; and as wo passed into her division and got toknow her well, we felt the beauty of her character. Hers was a silent influence but powerful and persuasive, and it is not too nnich to say that Mrs. Cidlen's influence was a great factor in moulding the char- acter of many a Mo<^lel School girl. To-day all her old pupils mu,st rejoice to see this tribute of respect paid to her memory. MESSRS. LOWEY, McCALLUM, FOTHERINGHAM AND CARLYLE. David Ortniston, B.A. ■—■-'■'----- (A former t«achcr in the Boys' Model Seho.. ). Fellow graduates of the Toronto Normal School it is with pleasure I Tneet you here on this occasion, when words of kindly remembrance are said of those who ably and skilfully managed the affairs of work 19 of the Normal and Model Scliools duriiij^ the first years of their exis- tence and also after they had come to their full statiu'e in the educa- tional machinery of our country. The autliorities of the Normal School very soon discovered that the v.'ork vuidertaken by them -the trainini;; of teachers for successful work in our schools — could not be accomplisheil unless there was r. public or common school where the teachers in training could see a school conducted in a proper maimer and als(j be allowed to take a part in the teachin*,' and hav(! their work criticized and their mistakes pointed out by competent teachers. Hence, in Kebruary 1848, the Model School was opened with Mr. Lowey sis the first Head Master, a teacher from one of the eastern counties, who was supposed to be the best ([unlified for the position at the time : a man of kindly disposition and agreeable manni'rs who wo'.iM doubtless have been a succes- in the new work, but before the end of the year he was called away by death, leaving his work, one mii^ht say, just commenced, Mr. Archibald McCallum, a graduate of the Normal School was selected to take his place and became the second Head Master, and for ten years he honorably filled that situation and was well known and greatly loved and esteemed by all the old students of the Normal School. He loved his work and was never more liappy than when surrounded by a crowd of his pupils. A man of great tenacity and persistency in accomplishing what he undertook and considered to be right, but yet so unwilling to e:ive ofience or hurt the feelings of others, that at times he appeared to yield, but only for a little initil he could accomj^lish tht desired end without alienating the sympathy or nffec- tion of those he felt constrained to oppose. Then, too, many of us remember how often a kind word from him cheered us as we, feeling thoroughly disheartened and wishing we were again at home engaged in the quiet duties of rural life, came out of one of I'le Model School class rooms, where for half an hour ve had been endeavoring to teach a class of forty l)oy8, each of wliom was, from past practice, fully prepared to give us all the anno^'ance he could and. not break the regulations of the school. As one of his assistants for a time, I had a good ()}>portunity of knowing his firm adherence to truth and duty, and his readiness at all times, to assist anyone striving to obtain knowledge. For ten years lie successfully presidea Seer, whose name will be honored and revered as long as the English language is read He, too, is a Scotchman, but if not born, he was at least educateil and trained in Canada, hence a true Canadian. A man of fine appearance, and for many years a faithful, painstaking teacher and educationist. While attending the Normal School in 18.54, he, his brother William and myself boarded at the .same place and tried to be helpful to one another. On the resignation of Mr. Fotiieringham in 1(S5.S, Mr. Carlyle was selected by the Chief Superintendent for the position, which he held for thirteen years with advantage to the school, honoi- to himself and satisfaction to the department, as was shown by his being placed as Mathematical Master in the Normal School. He tilled tin's position till 189.S, when, ovving to failing health, he had to resign and retire to private life. He bi'giiu the practice of medicine, for which he had piepared himself while performing his arduius duties in the Model Scliool. And I am sure we all very mucli reijret that he is not able to be liere and take part in these jubilee exccises of the Normal School which he lovc^d .so well. MESSRS. HUGHES, SCOTT AND CLARKSON.

During the twenty- three years of his inspectoiship, the expansion of the public school system has been great, while the standard in all respects is such that we may safely say he has made " Modtl Schools" of all under his .supervision, and thus tens of thousands of all classes in the connuunity have every reason to love and respect him — none, however, rejoice more at his suece's than do his " OM Moilel I>oys," in whose hearts he holds an (;ndurin<; pliice, W(jn by his kind worver characterized his life and ^vork, and jiupils, be they young or old, have each alike felt the example of his life and work as influences for good, and we feel sure the standard of our future t(»a(;hers will be higher, their manhood more enriched and ennobled Ijy being brought under his influence.

It jijives me o'vcat pleasure to be here to-day on the invitation of your coi;;mitteo to yive a fV-w i'eniini.scences of my connection with the Toronto Normal School. The Good Book teaches us to " Offer unto God thaidvs<(ivinir and praise," and as I take a retrospeciive view oi the years in which 1 was connected with this institution, 1 realize truly the lines liave fallen to me in pleasant places, and, in the knowledge here acf|uired, I had a goodly lierita!,fe, which has been a benediction to me and mine in later years. So many thiny.s come clu.sterino- in my mind, I know not to which I should give utterance. I think of the pure, noble and generous Christian, Dr. Rver.son, who conceived and then so worked as to bring those conceptions to a glorious i.ssue, viz., the founding of our Provin- cial Normal and Model Schools, and our great system of National Schools Then my mind calls up the highly cultured and earnest teacher, the first Head Master of the Normal School, T. J. Robert.son— also the kind-hearted and .sympathetic Archibald McCalluin. The.se have passed to receive their reward — their works do follow them. One other natne connected witli tlie institution in my day was the genial, whole-souled friend of us all, i)r. Ormiston, now of California. Aa the ro.se doth its fragrance impart To the ba,sket in which it is laid, Whether wrought of pure gold or of braid ; So, receiving wise men in thy heart, , Thou shalt tind, when their persons depart.

That mnssive foi-ehead with cui'ly l)lack locks, sometliiiiLi of the head of a Dickens, that swarthy complexion, those l)la(;k eyes slu'It.ei'ed beneath shai:;t!;y hrows that knit and lowered upon one with a mixture of red easily ])ossilile the (tarkeninj,^ of that already dark face, with a .scowl tilled with teiTors to most of u.s.

When a student wa-< a) be i|uestioneil. a name was selected and the pcssessor pinioned. " Mr. L'arlyle, Delhi," was read one day. My turn had come. "Where are you, Mr. Carlyle ;■ Oh! by tlu' way, are you any relation totlie Great Mo^ul :'" Koi- a moment the .silence could be felt. " Yes, sir ; I believe I am his uncle." After the cheerin;,' of the .students subsided, " I beg your pardon, Mr. Carlyle .' " Of the genuineness of that apology, T was not quite sure, and felt it safer to take it with a grain of salr. Ever afterwards, we were friends. «7 ■"'•Tr His t, seen bis e{|ual as a ucu' r. 1 have never since. If Mr. Robertson laid bare to my comprehen.-,ion what in academic work had before been dai-k or even a total blank, and elevated me towards the high, broad plane of his conception of education : if Mr. Ormiston gave me some appreciation of the majestic grandeur of educational work and inspired me with devotion to it, Mr. Robins taught me the .science of teaching through means of the practice of the art. The masters of the Normal School operated upon me. They taught me "'' ill 28 the acailcmic work as I uiifrht in Hirn teach it to others. Mr. Robin.s operated vi])()n boys and denioiu'trated to nie liow to rearli tlie under- st.indinfj oi' cliildren witli i:;°.t!'uci:on that at times escaped my own grasp ill tlie hii.dier institution. He tnu peer into their exercises, adding earnestness of manner to an intensely earne.st and sympathetic face, while n))tiirne(l to his were the anxious laces of the pupils awaiting look of appro> al or hint of direelion. No goody, goody talk. No coddling of the boys. Me treated them as little men and they responded as men. That voice so pure, so flexible, that exact enunciation, and that cle'ar flow of connected thought ilealt out in easy steps of correct thinking that the pupils might keep step with him and arrive witli him at. the same conclusion, still hold me as with a charm. I have witnessed his work in the class-room, when liis indescribable t-ict aroused his pupils to such continuous mental applica- tion that 1 could have iu'gged him to .slacken his hold of the class and relieve the tension of intel'.totual effort, worthy of grown men. If a. word of criticism niiiy be permitted, allow me to say in those days, students of the Normal School received academic training in tlie Normal ami Model Schools. Our masters were teachers and tau^dit us as we were expected to teach our pupils. As a matter of course we taught the subjects as we had been taught them by masters in the art, so far as our aptituile permitted. The same influence is operating to-day. .As inspector, T tiinl teachers teaching academic work as they were taught it, not as they were directed to teach it in the training schools. Tn .spite of the skill and patience bestowed upon teachers-in- training by the MoiU'land Normal masters, during the brief period the latter have for operating upon their students, the students as teachers, teuch as they were taught, in Pu'olic and High Schools. The Toronto Normal School has been a light, set on a fiill top. Her graduates throughout the country have diffused the light they received i'rom lier. The ma.ss of youtli, educated in our piovinc(; b\' them, were for years indebted to her for their mental training and directly or iiidire-tly for the intelRgence that, made them worthy citi- zen.s. Not only by reiiovHtiiig teaching has siie been a blewing, she, by means of her students and their pupils, has thrown lustre into every line of industrial life, for, those educated withi;\ her walls have distinguished themselves on the farm, a'< tnidesnien and mnnufac- turers, in law and in the legislature, in literature and science, at the bedside and in the pvilpit. S9 David Ormiston, B.A. (A former tfut-her in tlu' Uoyn' Minh-i Hchool), It is needless to say that T liave ^''I'y pi'cat pk istirc iiuiucd in beiut; present on this occasion to assist in celebratin;,^ the Jubilee of the Nonnal School, which has done so iiiucli for the advancement and education oi our noble Province — a school from whose hulls has ijone firth a host of noble men and women who have carried the training obtained there to tlie utmost corr?ers of the land, and almost evry one of whom for a time at least became centres from which litflit and knowledije disseminated and not a few of whom have worked tlicir way up into the professions and other walks in life, and are now found in plHces ot trust and power in tliis our loved Pro- vince and fair J)om' -.Ion And, Sir, it ^-ives me sjK^cial pleasure to see you prcsidinij over tliis meetinir, nut mendy because you are the Minister of Education, lait because. Sir, before you attained to that petition you were so lony; associated with the teachinj;' profession. The teachers can and do all feel that you are one of themselves, and just because you were so lon,ij and for in those days, and as it wis not conven- ient for a Presbyterian or Episcopalian minister to come each w.!ek, or for some other reast ii, I know that we students of those two denomi- nations met together, and one week the Rural Dean Grassett, a man of scholarly tastes, a g I was a student but in the sunnner of 1857, wlien, owing to th(! sickness of Mr. Barron, who was appointed to take Dr. Orniiston's place, on his retiring to take charge of a conyrc^'ation at Hamilton, I was asked by the Chief Superint'-'udent to conie from the Model School and teach the mathematical and natural jihilosophy classes in the Normal iSchool. I remember how my knees seemed to give out un- • ler me when Dr. Ryerson took me to the desk and introduced me to the large class as their teacher for the session, but soon all fear was gone wlien wo got to work and we spent a very pleasant summer. It was during that session the school paper was started, or I should rather say pj 'ers, for, of course, under the I'^gulatioiis the male jind female stu or thirtj' boys in the senior division These were ])npils that had hec .1 in atten(hince at the iModel School for some time, and were well ac(]nainted with all the suhjeets in tlie course of study. It was therel'oi'e a ditti- cult matter for me to present them with any new information or make the It'sson attractive. When 1 began to teach, they gave me their undivided attention for a few minutes, then be;.'an a rattling of the desk lids and a variety of other noises thut would soon have brought the Headmaster into the room to restore order, and I wouM have been given n low mai'k for practical teaching, if I had not l)e(ni " plucked "out and out 1 apptialed to them with hut little effect, save to increase the disorder. The noi.se and confusion grew gradually worse, until, as a last resort, I frankly and openly stated my circum- stances, told them what it meant to me, and ilhi.strated my position by a reference to the fable of " 'J'he Bo^'s and the Frogs." Be it said to the honor of these lujys that they at once became (juiet, paid the strictu.st attention to what 1 had to say, and I finislunl tlu; lesson in such a mamier that the Headmaster complimented me upcm my success. I learned afterwards that this division had hecn a thorn in the fiesh to many of the students. I felt then as 1 feel now that they possessed the elements of true manhood, and that they exercised a spirit of self- control that reflected credit upon their ti'aining in their homes and in the school. I shall ever remember them kindly for the herf>ism they showed that 'vfternoon. The othi'r incident to which I have alluded has a humorous side to it, though not devoid of a practical and useful lesson. Pupils at school or young people at college rather enjoy an^-thing in wliieh the teache or professors are over reached or out-witted. Such was the case in this instance. A young Scotchman presented him.self foi" admission, and after the preliminary examination had been pissed, took his place among the students. It will be well to remark here that owi of the rides of this institution at this tinu! was, that the students of opposite sexes were not allowed to communicite M'itli one another without the special permission of the Headmaster or his assist- ant, under the penalty of a sevei'e reprimand or sus|)ension, accoi'ding to the gravity of the offence. This J'oinig Scotchman, when he took the seat allotted to him very naturally glanced at the young ladies who occupied the opposite side of the i-oom. His attention was arrested by the familial' api)earance of tht; side view of a young lady's face. When she turned so that he could get a full view of hei- iV.ce he at once recognized her as a former schoohiate in far away Scot ianrincii)als and teachers this afternoon was very interestin;;", and l'roui;'ht to mind many plea.sant remiMnhrances. The portrait of the lirst principal, T. J. Robertson, is, I think, a true lik(uiess. He seemed to me always so stern, and F was afraid of him, althou^^h I cannot say that r disliked iiim. (Jrammar was one of his hobbies, and he w;is ])articularly severe on any one who dared to tjive any of the rules in Lennie's Grammar. 1 tran.snnnl .ScIuhiI) The decade that hronj^ht to a close the first half of the present century' was characterized by the nvnnber of Normal Schools established in the ditlerent States in the northern part of this continent. Tlie j'cpr 1839 saw three Normal Schools established in Massachusetts. In 1845 the Albany Normal School came into existence. In 1847 the Toronto Normal Scliool was opened. The Philadelphia Normal School was founded in 1848, and in the .same year a Normal School was established in St. John, New Brunswick, ('onnecticut followed with a Normal School the year after, and the decade was closod with the openinj^ of the Michigan Normal School. In 1846 Dr. liyerson submitted to Parliament a report on a " System of Elementary Instruction for Upper Canada," in which ^^e specially reconniiended that provision be made for the training of teachers. He rightly thought that the special e lucation of teachers is an essential element in all systems of public instruction. The Govern- ment accepted his recommendation, and provided for the establishment of n. Normal School in Toronto by appropriating for that purpose a portion of the legislative grant for public schools. The S>.hool was opened for the receptitm of s M'l:nts on the 1st of November, 1847, in [41] ■ir I . « 42 tlie presence of a large number of visitors from different parts of tlie country. Parliament tlien met in Montreal, and in the vacant Govern- ment House iji Toronto the new Normal School had its first _ jrted anionr.al and Jlodel Schools had ah'eady ac(|uired a name, Viut no local habitation of their own. Since the Oovernment returned to Toronto, the classes had met in the Temperance Hal!. But .steps had previously been taken to secure a permanent abod(.'. ( )n the 2nd of July, 1851, the corner stone of the present building was laid by His Excellency, Lord Elgin, in the presence of a Iarji,e inunb(!r of spectatoi's. It was stated that the plot of ground in which the buildings are situated contained eight acres ; that two of them were to form a botanical garden, and three were to be set apart for agricul- tural ccperimtnts. At the time of purclase the ground gave little promise of what it afterwards became. It was " partly bog, and abounded in stmnps." But in the ^■all of 1853 it produced thirty-seven specimens of grain, roots and vegetables, which were t'xhibited at the great annual sliow in Hamilton, and were higldy commended by the judges. The building was designed to acconnuodate 200 siiudents- in-training, and 600 pupils in the Model School. The space considered necessary for each pupil tlien must liave been much less than what is consioards. The Chief Superintendent saw the evil of this and as soon as possible obtained power to grant certifi- cates on the recouunendation of the Normal School masters. In course of time Associate Examiners were appointtMl, and this method worked admirably till 1871. In that year the Council took the exam- ination of the Normal School students altogether out of the hands of the Noi'Mial School Mastei's, and put it into the hands of a committee, which committ(;e, sti'ange to say, could examine candidates tor tirst- class certiticat»!s, but hail not the power to examine candidates for .second-class ceiiificates. This was owing to that awkward little word only getting into the wrong place. This anomaly was soon nnnedied, but the vicious principle was adhei-ed to till the advent of the present Minister. The principle is not good in any case, but in a professional examination of teachers it has evils peculiar to itself, and one of theni is that not infrequently good teachers fail to obt :in certificates, while the le.ss capable are successful. Besides the evils arising fi'om one class of persons acting as teach- ers and another class acting as examiners, there was another disad- vantage luider which the school labored. The pei-iod was one of transition. The Normal School was pa.ssing from a time when its work was largely academic to a time when its work became almost entirely profes.sional, and maiiy of the disadvantiiges of such a period are, perhaps, unavoidable. But notwithstanding these lement of education. Coercion does more than restrict the power of the child ; it corrupts its ideals. The common and unnatural dread of Divine authoritj'^ arises from the degradation of human authority into uurea.soning, unloving coercion. The greatest improvosment yet wrought by the new education is the altered attitude of adtdthood towards childhood in disciplining it. 40 IT i i The reformation of tlie coercive ideals of adiilthnod huH only well bej^un, however. The twentieth century will complete the reform. When adulthood recognizes divinity in each child and learns that the highest function of traininjf is to develop this divinity, not merely to restrict depravity, tiien will the schools become what Froebel aimed U^ make them : "Free Republics of Childhood." Tiie dominating elements in a child's life are love of freedom anever develops nnich intensity, enerf^jy, enduranci; or individuality. When teachers complain that children are not interested in work, their statements are usually incorrect. It would be nujre accurate to say that children are not interested in the teacher's work. Adulthood should not interfere so nnich with childhood. 8. The child will be trained to iind most of its own problems, in the twentietli century school. The child discovers its own problems before it goes to school. When it reaches the school its problems are showered upon it by the teacher. This difference in educative process is the chief reason for the rapid development of children bef(n'e they go to school compared with their d(!velopment afterwards. Before the twentieth century ends it will not be correct to detine a .school as a place in which self -active interest is checked, originality condemned, and brain development and co-ordination sacrificed to knowledge stor- ing. If anyone claims that such a definition is unfair to the nine- teenth centmy school, let him consider cai-efully what the condition and character of a man would be if he had been kept in school during the whole of his waking hours till he was twenty-one years of age. It will not always remain true that the race shall receive its brain development and co-ordination and its individual character force chiefly outside of .school. The schools of the coming days will not weaken minds by the processes of storing them. The power of problem discovery is much more useful than the power of problem solution, l)oth to the individual and the race. Prob- lem di.scovery is much more educative than ])roblem solution. The child now comes to school from its sphere of independence in problem finding, and is a^ once set to work at problem solving alone. In every sul»ject tln' 'oacher brings the questions jrid assigns the lessons. The esso':..ai unity between insight and accomplishment, between discovei-y and achievement, between originating and operat- ing, between .self-active interest and executive power, between seeing and doing, between problem recognition and problem explanation, is destroyed. The teacher does the important part of the work. The vital and interest producing part of the process of learning is not per- 51 II l! H formed l)y tlu; child, and so its interest is inevitulil}' weakened. Day l)y day it becomes less interested, less positive and more negative. Its nature adapts itself to its new cfjiiditions. Its function in .school is to .solve problems and answer questions, and it soon learns to wait for its rroblems ami (|uestion.s. By sudi teachini^ the child is made dependent on the teacher in the most e.ssential department of its intellectual power. Kvery man should be a discoverer within his own sjiiere. Every man would possess independent power of discovery if his natural wonder power had been developed properly. The race creeps where it should .soar, because the child's natural power to discover new prol)lems is not developed. The wonder power of childhood which Mi". McChoakr.mchild j)roposed to di'stroy is the .source of orejitest intellectual and si^iiitual evolution. We fail to reach our best individual iri'owth and our hitjhe.st fitness foi- aiilinjj our fellows in their upward progre.ss on account of our intellectual and spiritual blindiu's.s. We are surrouiide(l by material probKnus, intellec- tual problems and spiritual problems which are never revealed to us, but which wo mi^ht see and .solve if oiu' discovery power had been develope greatest evils of school life in the past. Self-activity includes the motive as well as the activity. It must be originative as well as operative or selflnjod is not developed. Even kindergartners often fail to see the full meaning of Froeljel's funda- mental process of human growth, self-activity. The highest ideal of executive development given by any other educator is co-operative, productive activity on the part of each individual. Froebel's ideal is co-operative, productive, creative activity. Each individual has three elements of power — originative ))ower, directive power and executive power : responsive activity does not demand the exercise of originative power at all, and develops directive power imperfectly. The central element of selfhood is originative power. A m.-ui's origin.ative power eon.stitutes his indivifluality. Originative power develops as all other powers develop, by full oppor- tunity for free exercise. Froebel made self-activity the fundamental law of gi-owth with the purpose of developing the complete selfhood of each individual. Unless the self of the individual is active, the development is partial and defective in its most important element. There are 3'et few school processes or metliods that demand true self- activity. True self-activity includes the motive that impels to action as well as the resulting act. In every study, and especially in every operative study, the originative and directive powers should act with the operative powers. Education is defecti\e in its most vital part if originative power is not developed. I i 52 Ono of the cominonost fallacies in the li.st of cdiicationHl thoorioH is " cxprossiot) h-adH to Hclf-cxprcssioii." Expression and sclf-cxproH- sion are tlic icsults of two widely differtiiit intelloctual operations. Self and expression should never be (iivorciid. Expressive jiower has h(!en trained, so far as it has been trained at all, uidependently. It has not been related to the selfhood of tht; child. The theory has been: trfiin the jiower of expression ami th<» selfhood will in due time develop and be able to use the {)ower of expression we have so thought- fully provided for it. The arnazinfif stupidity of this course; has bejfun to reveal itself. To some th(! revelation of the folly of traininj,' ex- ])r(!S.s'ive power and nejjlectinj,' the selfhood that is to ust; it caine with such force that it led them to the other extreme, and thc^y hav(i pro- y)Otnid(>(l the maxim, " Develop the selfhood and expression will take can; of itself." This theory is intiniteiy nearer the truth than the old one — ihe one still piactised almost universally. It is true that ch'ar strong thoughts never lack expression. Henry Irving was right when he said, " If you are true to your individimlity.and have great original tluaights, they will (ind their way to the hearts of others as surely as the upland waters burst their way to the sea." But it is also true that the schools should cultivate the powers of expression, and add as many new powers as possible. Every form of expression should lie devel- oped to its best limit by the schools ; (!xpre,ssion in vi.sible form by construction, modelling, painting, drawing and writing, and expression of speech and music should receive fullest culture in the schools. To add new power of (expression opens wider avenues for the expression of selfhood, and thereb}- makers a greater selfhood po.ssible. The supreme foil}' of teaching has been to attempt to cultivate the pow<'rs of expression anil neglect tlu; selfhood that has to use them. It is not wi.s(! in correcting this mistake to m dee another, by leaving developed selfhood without the best po.ssibl., eijuipnii -.;. of (sxpre.ssive power. Self and expi'ession cannot be divorced without weakening both of them. The revfdation of the utter folly of training the powers of ex- pression and neglecting to trai.n the selfhood at the same time has been almost entirely confined, how« ver, to the forms of visible expression. There are many good school i in which writing, drawing and other forms of visible expression are now used from the first as means of revealing selfhood, to enable the pupil to make his inner life outer, but in which the processes for developing the power of oral expression are still as conipletel}' uiu'elated to selfhood as they were in the darkest days of preceding ages. The processes of culture of the powers of oral expression have undoubtedly improved, but still the dominant principle is the fallacy " expre.ssion will lead to .self-expression." The schools train in the interpretation and expression of the thoughts of others in the vain hope that to express the thoughts of others in the language of the authors will give pow(>r to express orally in good form the original thought of .selfhood. There can be no greater fallacy. Actors have more power than any other class to interpret and express the deepest and higliest thoughts of the greatest authors, but, although they are accustomed to appearing before large audiences, very few of 53 "' Uioiu liavt' wi'U (Icvclopfd jMJWcrs of Helf-t'Xprt'SHion.

Men should see truth from differ- ent standpoints, and transform insight into attainment with widely varied powers. Each new view of truth, when revealed by an undwarfed individuality, gives new form or tone to revealed truth. Thi^ schools have made mixed cliaracters, part child and part teacher. They have developed self-consciousness which is paralyzing, instead of .selfhood which is strengthening ••ind invigorating. Very few children are allowed to be their real .selves and " live their souls .straight out." Men have dreaded the depravity of the child so nuich that its divinity has not been allowed to grow. In attempting to restrict depravity the light of the divinity in the child has been shadowed, and lives of gloom and stagnation have resulted instead of lives of brightness ami ad\ ancement. The individuality of the child is the divinity in it, the element whose development should do most for the child and the world. The highest duty of the .school is to develo[) the conscious personality of ill It H 64 the child ll'-al prrHonality inuHt hi* mi t'loinciif of strcn^jth.

This is tlie true hasis for the value of individuality. The revelation of the stren;,'th of self hood )ih an element in the ;,aneral strenj^th of humanity leails to true self-rever- eiife and self-faith. A man who has self-reverence and self-faith rarely fails. Me uses tin.' intellectual j)ower he possesses. A man vvitli modorato intellectual povvevH and well developed self-faith usually uccornpli.shes more i'or himself and humanity than the man who has ^reat intellectual powei- hut little self-faith. It is not possihle to give all children t for physical energy. It lielps to develop the power of concentrating attention Children soon lose interest in altstractions or in the acquisition of knowledge from books or from their teachers. Even real things lose their interest (|uickly if they are merely to be e.Kamined or studied. They never lose interest if tiie child is allowed to use them in the execution of its own original plans. It gives definite and applied training to the observant powers. It cultivates the judgment of size, form and relationship of })arts to whoics, ar\d thus forms a true basis for mathematical culture. It helps to form clear conceptions. We really know definitely only those thinguwhicli we have wrought out as well as thought out. It applies knowledge as it is gained, and this is the only perfect way of gaining knowledge clearly and of '.ixing it in the mind as an available element in mental e'juipment. It makes pupils creatively constructive instead of destruc- tive. It increases the opportunities for the discovery by the teacher of the special individual power of the pupil, and what is still more important, it helps to reveal the child to itself. It develops habits of accuracy, definiteness, exactness, and these are essential elements in truthfulness and fundamental constituents in character. It cultiv",tes tlie power of self expression. In early years the child's most perfect means of self-expres.sion is construction v/ith the sand, clay, stones, sticks, blocks, paper, cardboard, and other material things by which it is surrounded. It enlarges the brain, defines motor power, and co-ordinates the sensoi' and motor systems. Education is essentially defective at its centre of vital power if it fails to preserve the true harmony of effective development between the i-eceptive and executive parts of the brain. It is a great moral agency, it increases respect for honest labor, and tends to make every man a producer. 8. The schools of the twentieth century will adopt the new ideal of Ncfitre study. 'I'Jie old ideal trained children to ■ '^ i^ Nature in order that they might learn to love it : the new ideal wil ain them to love Nature in order that they may desire to study .„. The old ideal destroyed life ; tne new ideal develops it. The old ideal was classification : the new ideal is revelation of life, evolution and God. The term, " Nature Study," will not truly represent the Nature work of the future. The chilli's attitude should be reverent friendship, receptive contemplation, stimulating investigation, and sympathetic nurture. Nature is the sacred temple in whicli the child .should have the life and [)ower of God interpreted and revealed. The prophec-souls of this "ontury have seen the greater ideal, have learned the mystery of Nature's vital .symbolism, and have pre- pared us lor grander insights into the meaning of her forces and her li;- IJ. 57 processes. Wordsworth, Longfellow and Tennys in made us conscious of the active pi-inciple that subsists " In Jill things, in all natures, in the auu-a Of Hzuro heaven, the unenduring clouds, In flower and tree, in every pebbly stor.e That paves the brooks, the stationary rocks, The moving waters, and the invisible air." The fact that these advanced leaders of a dt;veloping race have had their minds tilled with this vital thouglit indicates that the race itself is nearing the stage in its evolution when it will comprehend the thought, and make it an impelling force in its upward progress. Froebel recognized the spiritual in the natural more clearl}- tnau any other man, and reduced the new ideal to a pedagogical practice by making nature contemplation and natuie nurture the agency for fixing in the minds and spiritual natures of children ap|)erceptive centres of life, evolution and God. Even though the ch'ld may not be conscious of the fact, its life is enriched by an intimate acquaintance with Nature as it can be in no other way. Nature is a stimulating atmo.sphere in which the whole intellectual and spirituiil being is invigorated, and through which God maket: to the ciiild manifold revelations. The beauty, the symmetry, the harmony, the life, the freedom, the purity, the miijti'sty, and the invisible forces of Nature Hll the young mind with images that elevate and ennoble character. When these pure images are photographed on the .sensitive nature of childhood, they can never be eradicated. When the pictures are developed by M'hatever experiences or circumstances, they are still pure, and help to ccninterbalance the evil that may come into our lives. " The holy forms of young imagination " help to keep us pure. School gardening will be a recognizetl department of school work in citie.s and towns in the twentieth century. Every child will prepare its own soil in window -garden, roof-garden, or, best of all, in gardens in the .school grounds, or in fields kept for school purpo.ses. Germany began this work in Froebel's time. The English Education Depart- ment officially recognized it in 189(5. All children should be trained to cultivate plants, partly in order to gratify their natural tendency to work in the earth, but mainly to use their interest in productive activity and the nurture of living things, especially plants or pets. Careful culture in the preparation of the soil and its proper em-ichment, coupled with due attention to watering, weeding, hoeing, and, if necessary, to pruning, produces plants of grander proportions, greater beauty, and richer fruitfulness. By these results the c.\nh] not only learns to recognize evolution, but it al,so .sees that it vkii/ become an active agent in promoting evolution. It gains a conception — at first sjnnbolic, afterwanl conscious, — of the greatest of all truths — that it has power to help other life to groir to grander life. By sowing the apparently dead seed, which afterward bursts into life and beauty, it learns that it has power to start life to grow that without its aid might have remained forever undeveloped. The teacher or parent does not recpiire to point the lesson. The symbolism of the uncon- nr 58 f • scious stage of childhood will naturally become transforined into con- scious character in due time. It is inipossible to over estimate the advantages of a training that, through the self-activity of a chilil, reveals to it the two vital truths— that it may aid all life — human life as well as plant life — to reach a higher condition of life, and that it may bring into existence new elements of living power, material pow(!r, intellectual power, or spiritual power, to aid in unifying and uplifting the I'ace. The formation of these apperceptive centres in a child's mind qualities it for the highest education it can ever receive. The life must remain comparatively bai'ren in which these ideals have not been implanted. The time to implant them is the symbolic period of childhood, and the process is the nurture of life in Nature. The phenomena of Nature in their everyday manifestations provide most appro^jriate symbolism for children. Tliey are thrice blessed whose early life is stimulated and enriched by free life in sympathy with Nature's life. When a few generations have been trained in Nature love. Nature nurture, and Nature contemplation, humanity will more fully under- stand Wordsworth's inspired words : " For I have learned To look on N.ature, not as in the hour Of thoughtless youth. "Andi have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevated thoughts ; a sense sublime Of something far more dee[)ly interfused, Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, And the round ocean, and the living air. And the blue sky, and in the mind of man : A motion, and a spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still A lover of the meadows and the woods. And mountains : and of all that we behold From this green earth ; well pleased to recognize In Nature and the language of the sense The anchor of my purest thoughts, thu nurse, The (jukh, the guardian of myhuurt, and soul Of all my moral being." 9. The schools of the twentieth century will teach art as the highest form of expression to qualify for clearer interpretation of the artistic ideals of the leaders in human evolution, and to enlarge the e.xpressive power of humanity. We shall know in the twentieth century that in the culture of so definitely interdependent a unity as the hixiian mind the attempt to train only certain powers and omit the training of others must inevit- ably result in the partial development even of those powers whose training is attempted ; that the progressive and harmonious evolution of the universal community of man depends on the complete develop- ment of the individuals of which it is composed ; that the highest test of an educational system is its intluence on the expansion and strength- 59 m ening of the spiritual iiaturo ; tmd tliat the possibility of man's true unity with God increases as his training becomes more comprehensive and more definite. The educational advantages of the study of art are many. The following arc among the most im])ortant : Art lays the foundation of true manual training, and it is itself the liighest departm(Mit of manual training. Art endows man with additional power of expression. Every new power of expression increases the power of the mind itself. The pos- sibility of mind growth is widened by increasing the powers of expres- si(m : fir,st by the stimulation of the mind along new lines of feeling and thought, second by uproving the processes by which feeling, thought, and knowledj: ■ defineil in the mind and wroutrht into character. Art has a directly beneficial influence in the development of tlie mind by training the observant powers, the judgment and the imagina,- tion. It cultivates the powers of observation. Seeing is really an act of the mind. Art develops orif/inallty, and (|ualiK(!s men to aid in the increase of human wisdom and power, and the promotion of human happiness by the production of new thought, new appliances, new forms of beauty, and new conceptions of the esthetic and spiritual evolution. Those are tlie h.ighest school processes that do most to develop the child's originality and apply it to lines of utility and aesthetic culture. It is in this way that the sum of human power is increased, its happiness promoted, and the certainty of its progressive evolution established. Art should be the highest form of self-expression, and the most perfect type of true self-activitij. The teacher should improve the pupil'i natural power of artistic representation, transformation and expression, and add as many new powers in each case as she possibly can, but her best work for her pupils is not the improvement of power nor the communication of power. Her work is not complete til she stimidates her pupils to use their powers in expres.sing their own Minfr One of the most in ortant educational advantages of art arises from its nsefulne^^s in rcxealing the child itself. It is an importaiit epoch in 1 1 M' life of a child when it gains an in.spiring con.sciousness of original po r. Any form of .se//-expression may be made a means of self-revelati >, but no other form exceeds art in the number and value of its opportii ities for making clear to a child the transforming truth that it was ini aded to be morctluin an imitator and folio wer. The central element in strong character is self-reverence, based on a clear consciousness of power to be used in the interest of the connnunity. Art shoidd form part of the education of every man. that he may be (pialified lor th(( enjoyment of the best production of the human mind, and of the majesty, the beauty and the uplifting suggestiveness of Nature ; that his life may be enriched with the graces of highest cul- ture ; that his sensual nature may be subordinated and his divinity stimulated by ennobling self-activity ; that his spiritual nature may become the dominant element in his character ; that his comph'te ( 1 - ; ( ; t"i| ; 1. ill I Fi'lf m :l:,> ; Mi 60 |! < developmenl may be i-ciicIkmI : and that he may be able to his Creator more deKnitel}' and enter into communion with Him more fully. 10. The everyday life of the school of the twentieth century will 'levolop in the lives of the children the fundamental elements of true .sociid and religious life, not l)y theories lait by practical experience. The child will be allowed to be independently co-o])erative in order that it may learn man's greatest lesson, the interdependence of }unnanity, the basis of absolute harmony Ijetween individualism and socialism. The three essential ideals in the organization of a perfect ciiaracter are love, life and unity. The apperceptive centres for these perfect ideals must be formed by experience, not by theory. In the loviufr home the chiM shoul^ howl of the gathering wolves. Then after a term of teaching not far from Cobourg I drifted, still a mere lad, an insigniHeant lail, to this Norm.-d School, meeting in the Temperance Hall on Temperance street, and here before my first session was done I was set to teach a part of the class with which 1 entered, and a little later on was employed in teaching mathematics to the ele- mentary class in the N(Minal School, during its first session in these newly erected buihlings. I have mentioned these things merely to reclaim my kinship with you now long unacknowledged and forgotten. So I leave in the oblivion of tlie dead past the rest of my career in this Province, which I regard, and shall ever regard, as my Province, my home, the land where all my kindred sleep their long last sleep, father, mother, brother, wife and child, waiting till I come not long hence to lay my weary form Ijeside them. I must hasten to saj' that in my earliest manhood, at the recom- mendation of our late chief, the Rev. Dr. Ryerson, (av«c dvd/uoi'), and by tluv invitation of the widely known and as widtdy respected. Sir Wm. Dawson, 1 was called to Montreal to take })art in the establish- ment of the Prote.stant Normal School of Lower Canada, and fen- more than forty years I have been intimately associateil with the educa- tional development of what is now the Province of Quebec. Let nu' introduce you to that Province. You know your own Province well, the lakes whicli sKirt your shore, the greater rivers which form in part your boundar}', the green Niagara, the clear swift St. Lawr. lice, the brown Ottawa, and the smaller rivi'rs which are your own, devastating torrents in the spring fioods, brawling brooks losing themselves among the stones in the sununer heats. Yours are the roll- ing farm lands, rising here and there to rounderl hills shaped by the wear and tear of ages, out of the sands, the gravels, and the clays deposited upon the Silurian and Devonian rocks that are the ground floor of your Pr(/vince. But Quebec has larger, bolder features, less fertile farming land, more of mountain and flood. I know not where you shall find a noblei- landscape than that over which you look from the summit of Mount Royal, wdiere the eye sweeps the vast plain watered by the Richelieu and the Yamaska and bounded bj^ the more hilly coinitries from which the St Francis draws its waters, and over which peep the Adirondacks the Green Mountains and even the highest peaks of the Presidential Range in the White Mountains. Perhaps you would prefer the wilder outlook from the Terrace in Quebec where, over the (juaint old city at j'our feet, you look far down the vallej^ of the St. Lawrence, shut in between the heights of Levis and Cape Diamond, awaj' beyond the Island of Orleans, the Valley of the St. Charles and the Falls of Montmorency, to the blue distance of G3 IV the Liiurentiaii Hills, inti'actable and atisrile, oldest land ou thin con- tinent. Rivers, — what j^lorious rivers, rollin^f cool and unfailinjjf throiif^jh the summer j^reenery, the broad Richelieu, the pictureH(iue St. Francis, the lone St. Maurice, the wild Saj^'uenay, the Cascapedia beloved by salmon. Mountains — .some risinjj^ solitary like Mount Royal, Mt. John.son, Belieil, some outliers of tiie <^reat rantjes south of us, some like the Shick.shock Mountains and the Laurentian Range, defining for hundreds of miles the outlines of a continent. A land worthy to be loved, a land loved by those wlio sing " O Canada mon pays " with a fervour, so far as I know, unknown among the less enthusiastic dwellers in Ontario. Let me introtluce the people. There dwell in Quebec representa- tives of all races. There are U. E. I/jyalists who, painfully toiling through the untrodden forests, settled in the hill country wliich wo call the Eastern townships; disbanded soldier.s, who, after the conquest, .settled on the shores of the Bay of Chaleur and elsewhere; fur traders largely of Scotch origin wlio retired to Monti'eal after they had spent their strength in the .service of the North West and the Hudson's Bay companies, immigrants from the British Isles, English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh, but the great mass of the population, a ma.ss so great as to be almost unaffected by the characteristics of the strangers, are of French origin, " les liabitants" as distinguished from " les intrus," the inhabitants as opposed to " the intruders." Of a population of almost 1,500,000 nearly 1,200,000 are French Canadians and all other nation- alities are but little more than 300,000 in number: nearly 1,300,000 are Roman Catholics and scarcely 200, UOO are Prote.Htants. This people then, French in origin and language, Roman Catholic in religion, the most homogeneous population in tlie New World, the most devot- edly Catholic people on earth, cannot be ignored by you. Questions of the most serious import rise as you look eastward. What is tluj manner of tli.iught and of life of this member of the Confederation which contributes five persons out of every sixteen to the population of the Dominion : who, separati'd from others, but united among them- selves, by the loving use of the beautiful French language, move in all educational, social, religious, and political (luestions with a united force that cannot be paralleled among our English speaking population; who are allied by their faith to 720,000 Roman Catholics of other Pro- vinces : and who, lieing the first civilized inhabitants of this land, seized in the betrinninir and still firmly hold the outlet of the whole Dominion, striding acro.ss the Gulf or the St. Lawrence and posses.sing the wealthy and populous counnercial metr()]iolis of the Dominion ? This people live for the most part in a calm patriarchal simplicity that is unknown els(3where on this restless continent. Frugal, thrifty, shrewd, gay, polite sons of the .soil, they marry early, have very large families, are content with little, are cheerful in adversit3^ joyous in prosperity, live long and die resignedly. It will not be wise of you, because they now sit in ■ i ■ i i (i4 their springs of action, wliicli in many times of storm ami stri'SH have {jri'at a tlicir- school taxes t'oi' the pnrposc, or may similaiiy uniti' with other Pi'otc.stant residents in a neiijhl)orin<,' municipality, or may annex themselves to a noi<(hliorin Koiiiaii ("atliolic pui)ils are eiirolltd ill Protestant Hchools, 'riic struiriflc to iiiaiiitaiii scIiooIh for a siiiall part of (lie popula- tion, scattcifd ainon^ a ^^icat iiiajorily, alien in faith and in lan<;na;^(', is iindoiibtcilly Hcveri'.

And as blessings brighten as they take th(;ir llight, so our treasures are enhanced in value when they are endangered I doubt that you who hold .s(^curely the priceless blessings of free schools, .schools governed by the peopli,' for tlu- people, cherish them with the passionate love and devotion that we, the Protestants of Quebec, entertain for our schools, maintained with dilliculty, threatened with e.vtinction. Par- don me if I say that we have one advantage over you that only tlu; truly cultured educator can adeipiati'ly value. We are, and we must lie, a bilingual people. We must use two Languages, and no man can ade(|uately know a single language. He who .studies a .second lan- guage, by comparison and contrast knows the lirst bettei-. And, when I speak of knowing a second language, 1 do not mean in tiie imperfect way in which some of us know Latin and (Ireek, having accjuircd the ability slowly and labouriously to spell out by the aid of lexicon and grammar the meaning of some pas.sag<' in a classic author, but to know .so that we can use to flash thcnight from mind to mind, and. what is still more difficult, to stir as we will the f(j(nits of jnire, high, noble feeling — to know it as Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Adolphe Chapleau know English. He that has so learned another language has addeir last looks on sun and sky and crowding eager human faces. Methinks I h.id better (piote it for my- self. I see before me so many faces of the young, beaming with hope, kindled with aspiration. And I, I am not one of you ; I am one of the.se few old men, bent with years, broken with toil, bafHed and beaten down. Moriturus vos saluto. About to perish, I hail you. To you, th(! happy days 1 .shall not see; to you, the tasks I could not accomplish ; to you, the triumphs I shall not share ; moriturus vos saluto. Yet do I comfort myself by the rcHection that with a fulness of meaning Horace never knew I can say " non omnis moriar." I shall not altogether perish. Friends and companions of my youth, our lives have not been lost. Hut for our efforts in the days of feeble beginnings these grand results in which the present genoj-ation so justly prides itself would not have been po.ssible. No one of us was indispensable. If some of xi.s had been utter failures, we should not have been missed in the tinal result. But altogether we accomplished that which prepared for what has fol- (5!) lowed.

Thin is altoj^cther too larjje an order U) he tilh'd in the allotted tiiiio. Fortunately, tin- hiing the shoi'te.st cut to the intelligence. And tlie legends in question, no doubt somewhat exaggerated, relate to breezes that occasionally arose, wlusn the iron hook at the end of the artiHcial limb by nnsaihenture. knocked out a few teeth, or broke a nt)8e, or scraped ott'an ear, or put out an eye. In rural sections things wen> (|uite as barli or a Walkinj^hanir'N Aritluuetic. and a. Mavor's Spelling Book. Haply, it' the scliool were above the ordinary run, or had any special claim of literary excellence, a chance copy of Fox's Book of Mai'tyis, oi- of the Spectator or of Bald\vin"s Pantheon, might be fonnd in use in the highest reading class — the singk^ hoalthy and enlightened Inspectorate of mj' friend Mr. Fcjtheringhani. they may I presume, be accepted as fair samples of the schools at that time exi.st- mg. Of these, one was taught or rather presided over, by a loUicking ol(l sailor, whose strength lay in his fre(|Uent and [jicturesipie use of nautical phrases, and whose weakiiess consisted in his too great devo- tion to whiskey, profanity and tobacco. The other was conducted by Tom Kelly — a large-hearted little cripple from " acrass the say," wIk) was a cobbler by trade and a teacher l»y profession, and who carrier! on both occupations simultaneously in the school room. He would half-sole a pair of boots while hearing a class read, and would put a neat patch on a shoe while giving out a column of spelling. Poor Kelly was afflicted with somic ''thi'ouble in his vitals," for which he haii to freely take "doctor's stutf," which he procuud from a little brown Jug locked up in his desk. Every now and then when his " vitals " were unusually Imd I • hivi to unlock the desk so frequently and take .so nuich of the " doco i stuff" that the little brown jug would give out, and then our teacher would become "spachless and all sthruck of a hape," and in that .state we wouhl have to carry him home ami put him to bed. Sneli were not unfreijuently the school experiences of fifty years ago. Teachers and schools of higher repute were to be found, but they were exceptions lo the rule. Indeed, no words of mine can convey a more vivid portraiture of the literary and, social status of the public school teachers of that day, than is incidentally and very nnin- tenti(m»illy afforded I )y a single paragraph of the formal protest then made by the CJore District Council against the Chief Superintendent's project for establishing a Noi-mal School for thi; trainitig an face of some active and of nmch j^assive opposition. They had to move the multitude, had to overcome the vis inertiae of the masses. They had to break down the [)rejudic(!S of the people. Tliey had to ju-oselytize those with whom they eame in contact. They iuid to energize the trustees and to relax t!)eir too tightly drawiv corporate ])urse strings. They were met everywhere with the obstructionists' cry cui hotio. They had to bcsar, with whatever of ecpianimity they c(juld command, not only the malevolent criticisms of the ill-(lisposed, but with the fussy ar.J ignorant interference of pretentious friends, and especially of those in authority. Wlien, forty years ago, I ventured to devote an occasional hour to entomological and hot. ,nical excursions, with my classes, along the Hamilton mountain side, a kindly intentioued and influential mend)er of the Board remonstrated with me against what he feared would be regarded as a very sinful waste f)f valuable time on pure frivolous pursuits — adding that, in his opinion, if >ucli things liad to be learned at all, it should be from proper text books. Then, and there, I was k^ strongly placed in my position that I covdd ami 1 did persist in my methods of teaching these subjects, but, 1 was, in that J'espect, exceptionally fortunate. 1 am quite sure that, in most places, a teacher who then prcssumed to send or take his cla.sses ati( Id. on botanical randiles in search of plants and flowers, such rambles as are now pre.scril)ed by the regulations, ;ind organized in every school, would have been looked upon as an educational eraid<, if not as an educational lunatic, and would, in all probability, have been smnniarily dismissed by his irate trustees as being too lazy himself to look up garden s«s,v for his own dinner, or posies for his own button hole. Each succeeding year, however, witne.ssed an improvement in the sentiments of the conmuinity on matters relating to Public Schools, and, by degrees, the trials !ind atmoyances of Normal School graduates became proportionately less grievous to bear. Let us, however, with kindling emotions, and with grateful appreciation, remend)er the pionee»s of mi our brothcrliood — the devoted men tuid women wlio, with unthigging zeal, and with conspicuous intellifjenee, cleared th(? way for the better things now within the teacher's reach. In an humble way they each and all Icl't tlieir impress for good on tlieir day ami generation. Many of them were sooner or later won to other, but, nut to higher {)ursuits, and, whether they endmiced law, medicine or divinity, or entei'cd into mercantile or other departments of business life, or devoted themselves to literature or to art, to agriculture or to politics, I am proud to know that they, aluiost invarialjlv. cliuibed hiidi and left the murk of iiood work and notable itchievement on their eho.sen vocations. Some died in harness, teachinir, to the end, still, alas ! living not louu enoiiidi to see, otherwise than by the e^'e of faith, th,' assiuvd dawn of the brighter educational day, in the ro.sy glow of wh'jse 3'et early morning hours, we are, here, now, assembled. But although the lowly log or frame school hou.ses, sancMtied by their hopes and fears, their joys and sorrows, their .' niggles and their triumphs, their patient laoors and their ill-reciuited toil, may have now given place to costly brick or .stone temples dedicated to learning; and, although the etiacing tinger of tiiu* — the weight oi revolving years, nuiy have already rialtened the mounds over tlieir unmarked gravi's, let '"s i>ot, on tliis auspiciotis occasion, forget them, oi- refuse to recognize their claims, or neglect to pay tribute to their faithful well-doing, in the day of smaller possibilities in which their lots were cast. Nor may\\e,e\en in this cur.sory glance at the work and inllueuee of the Normal School in its earlier life, oiuit all reference to the r(>vered father of the Public School system of Ontario. Dr. Ryerson laid and established th.e shapely and .solid foundations on which the present Minister of Education is so wisely and so acceptably continu- ing to build — modelling and tir> ^ .nig and perfecting his particular stony of that noble superstruc'v.re, which ni'ist incn'asingly become the pride and the glory oi the \mh pie. This institution was not only the tirst fruits and the most admirable outcome of Dr. Ryerson's enlightened policy — it was ever the cherishiMl object of his solicitude and love. Here, theref(U'e, within these votJUis, wherein the unseen shade of bis gracious presence, and ibe silent echoes of his much loved Voice may be said yet to linger, let 1-is mcTuory be kent forever green. His life was an inspiration and a (piickening spur to tlio,se who were privilegeil to associate with l\im, and to know him well, ioid to the:!', ;;nd to thousands upon thousands of his grateful fellow countrymen, his name will always remain the .'■ynouym of fervid patriotism, and of executive wisdom anil power, and of large hearted biunanity, und of tJanadian manhood, and of Christian gifts and graces. Nationally, we are (piite too close to him as yet to clearly perceive the grandeur nnd loftines-> of his pulilic per.sonalitj'. The future will esteem him nnu-h more highly than the present, will regard hiui as up'iuestioiiably the greatest (yanadian of the centiu-^, ami will accord him such lasting honors that, long after the bronze etligy of his pei'son which ornaiuents these groimds, shall have iMMunbled into the dust of the ;.ges, his name and the grand results of his life work sliall still end to attain to tri(> measure of his glorious individuality. '"■I l|«(IW||p|l||ll| |,|l [W^.-r-rm • ■' -WSW>'";T^^^^' 7a To a brief statement of my impressions regarding some of the educational aspects of tiie present, I proceed with much dittidence. For twentv-tive years past, my attention has been eufjrossed by my present pursuits — m^' energies Inve been devoted to the daily routine of .medical reading anil medical practice. Diu'ing all those years I have found but little leisure in which to keep myself familiar with the trend of modern educational thought, or with the everchanging phases of modern educational development and techni((ue. Hence, to-chiy, in the presence of an audience, composed largely or wholh' of those hot from the educational work-shops or the educational directorate of the land, I am opj)resse(l witli feelings nearly akin to those vvhicii perplex a traveller, who, grown grey in foreign clinu'S, has just returned to his own — his native; land, and is there confronted with changes and evolu- tions and developments wliich almost amount to revolution. His onee well-known land marks are set back or swept away. His trusted standards of comparison are supersedi-d by newei- ideals or by larger actualities. Even the modes of thought, and turns of (jxpression, and fashions of speech, erst in use, have become so altered that his own vernacular now strangely halts upon his unaccustomed tongue. And thus, standing among once familiar .suiToundings, whei'e, haply, in the past, he was wont to speak rx fatltcdrd, he is now weighted with a strange and a mortifying consciousness of inaptitude and uncertainty, which prompt him to be wisidy silent. And yet, Sir, on this occa.sion, and, in this presence, I feel that silence on my pai't might be miscon- strued. 1 bow to the inevitable, and am cjuite content to lie regarded as an old ynung man, or, if you so prefer it, as a young old man ; liut I am not content to be regarded as having yet arrive who lias lieen out of harness t\)r thatleiiirth of time, than the Huent character nf both the legal enactments and thi^ departmental regulations that now conjointly determine the edu- cational " modus agendi ' of the Province. The more or less rigid con- servatism of former years seems to have given place, not only to a more prompt adoption of obvious improvements and neiMled reforms, but even to what may, ])erhaps, in some instances, be termed a tenta tive groping after better things. At first view I was inclined to look upon this want of fixity in enactment and admiiiistration, as a defect in the system. More careful considerati-n, however, leads me to regard IL as an evidence of vitality and jirogress, rathe:' than of weak- ness or vacillation. It may, I think, be accepted as .showing how (|uickly amenable the Department is to pul)lic opinion when conveyed tt) it tin-ough legitimate channels. Tlie community infiuences the educational executive in many way ;, t)Ut chieily, tiirough the Press, nnp mmim 74 the Lej^iislatmi; iind tlio Inspectorate'. It is -gratify iuront it." ■*•'.; .^i?; Hut, ultlioiii^rli till' Miiiisti'V eonics in liuidi with tlic coiiiiiiiiiiity .it iniuiy points — Ihc I'ublic and Hit^li School Inspectors an- the otticiiil tentacula \iy which he j^rasps and apprehends — are tlie especial a<;ents throu<^h and hy wiioiii In: peiceires and acts. He is the Virain, the exi«ntive, the central intelligence ot" the system, they are its aflerint and cH'erent, its sensor^' and motor nerv(;s, not only carrying the instrnctions and i)ehests of the Department to teiicliers and tni.stees, liut also galherin;^- ii]i from these, ;iii efficient and thorough .s^-stem of in.sp( ction wliicli now jirevails was first established by the late Chief Siiperiiifendetit. I was satisfied that it would prove to lie the key-stone and connecting bond of tln> whole — that the success and integrity of the <'ntii-e educational chain rtoiild vt'iy lar;T,.]y depend upon the zeal an very genius of our Ptiblie School .system is democratism ])Uie and simple. It may indeed jje fairly ipiestioiu'd wliether. e\-en in any State of the American Union, the peonle have as potent and ;is con- trolling a \oice in educiitional e(jnci'rns as have the citizens of Ontario. In such ;; system mobility of regulation and enactment is inevitable, is the exponent of its ])rogres.si\-eness, is a proof of its vitality, is the measure of its adajitability to tin: public .service. To tal)oo all educa- tional es.say or trial would amount to eilucational stagnation if not to retrogression. All that can be reijuired to preserve the integrity and continuity of the system, as a whole, is that, while the central author- ities show, as they must show , a reasonable readiness to ■ prov .dl thint-s " that seem to make for the Ixtternient of educational con- cern.s, tluiv shall e{iually manifest a fixed I'e.solve tct only fast tliat whicl I not 1 IS goo e, witli nnieh pleasuri inc I'eascii care laker, to make the teaching, iiotli in PnJilic a.nd High Selioofs, progressively more and yet more is tnor ea 1 and common-sense in lt^ .'haraeter. "be course of instruction e extended, the (echniiji'e is im])roved and jiropo; (ionately It "J 76 hij;lier re.sults iiro obtained. Of this, in my opinion, there can bo no possible doubt. In this connection, l)()th tlie Department and the l'i()\in(!e are to l)e conj^ratulaterl on the t^n-eatly iniprovi'd scliool eipiip- ment now provided by trustees. I can remember when it nHjuired all the insi.stence of tlie Kducational otiice to induce or to compel a Board to sup|)ly its .sehool with a paltry .set of four oi- five map.s and a fe^v pictures of objects. 1 am ci'cdibly informed that, now, schools are almost universally well e'luipped ; that each Hij,di School in the Prov- ince has not only a well furnished laboratory wnere every student has to learn whatever he acipiires of chemi.stry practically, by .self-con- ducted experiment and simple i|ualitative analysis, but al.so an ample set of pliil(j.sophical appj'.ratuH, includinj,j a workin investigation of animal forms, and whether he is working on a manniial, bird, tish or reptile, oi' on one of the lower animal creations, he is reipiired with scalpeland nucro,scope,to .He])arate and exann'nethe histological elements of each. Nor is it only in tlic natural sciences that I'cal, as dis- tinguished fi'oni perfunctory, teaching appears to be insisted upon. I observe with much approval that your regulations re(|uire your examiners in the languages, ancient and modern to test each pupil's knowledge by his ability to translate, ami to grammatically analyse and discuss sight pas.sagjes not included in the prescribed texts. In English literature, the intelligetit and appreciative .study of assigned Engli.sh classics, by the aid of a living teacher, and the liberal memoriz- ation of their tinest passages — invaluable as even this alone would be — is by no means all that is demanded. To test his knowledge and the (juality of the teaching he has received, the examiners are here again rcijuired to prove him by sight passages not included in the assigned work, so as to gauge his ability to interpret and a])preeiate lit(!rature for himself. Tlie course of bookkeeping, I notice, is either general or s[>ecial. Tin; former aims at giving, -in oi'dinary knowledge of the sub- ject such .is is riMpiii'ed by e\'eryone — while the latter is so full and is taught so prjictieally that a pupil who takes it and secures the Departmental C'ommereial Diploma is. 1 should sa\^ fully competent to take his place forthwith at the aicountan^'s desk. Jn stenography he is requii'ed to practice until he Jiitains a I'ate of at least fifty words a minute. And although approved typewriters ;;i-e myi yet supplied U^ each schinjl. they, and other good things, will no doubt, e\-eiitually, get there. My remarks in this connection m.'iy seein to a]»ijl\' more especially to High Schools, but 1 wish to .say that, in my opinion Public Schools are not a whit less woilhy of prais(> than their more .chanced sister 77 iiiHtitutions. An educatioiml cliaiii can lie no stronger than its weakest link. That the Puhlic Schools, in tlifir limited sphere, re test, and it is I'igorously ajjplied. It appears to be a much more advanced lest than it was twenty years ago. Yet tlie Public Schools now send up more than twice as many can,'li two apjiointed examiners, one at Kin^'^ton and tlie other at Toronto, 'i'he examination cost the candidate !?10 in |)luei' of the i?") now paid, oi, taking; iiitci considei'iition tlie travellin;jf expen.ses often from remote parts of the ])rovince to these centres, it involved, in many cases, foiu' or five times as great an out- lay as at present. Thi- exannnations wrre otlwrwise unsatisfactt)r\', and the (council decide-d to accept, in lieu of the.'n, one or other of the Departmental tests, then in force. It has I'.ever seen cause to nsgret its decision to that effect, and, to-day, such is our eontidenee in the realnoss and ab.solute value of the Departmental examinations, that the representative mend)er.s of the Council would not willingly set aside the Departmental Ceitiiicate, in favor of any unlimited university qualitication evtsn up to, and inclusive of, a dei^'i'ee in Arts. Practical eiiueationists kiKjw very well that the depcaidence to be placed on the certificate or diploma oi' deo;ree in Arts of any institution, is deternnned. not cliiefly by the face value of its recpiirenients, or by the extent or parade of its curriculum, but by the thorou,i,dine.ss and strinujency with which its I'xamination tests areap[)lied. OiU' objection, in the Medical Council, to accept university standing as (jualifying for matriculation means, not that we have no confidence in any uiiiveisity, but that when ei<;ht or ten universities become comnetiuii' bodies, so far ms medical matriculation is concerned, tliere is no surety that their tests are ecpially applied, we know that in the pa.st the tests of some were applieil with discreditable laxity and, eonsecjuently, as we dare not "(i.-icriminate, university .stamling, in this coiniection, represents to us an unknown or a variable <|uantity. We know also that the drift of candidates is always towards the least exacting examining body. Hence our fixed resolve to stand by the Departmentfil te.-^ts; and it is no .secret that other tt;chnical colleges and other professions take the s.ime stand, as the Medical Council, in this matter. I have only to idd, that, in my opinion, the Departmental examinatiotis aie ihr touchstone, as the Inspectorate is the key .stone, of tlif c'ut ire eduoHtional sy.-t<'m of the province, and tliat neither can be tampered with without gravily mai'iMug llie integrity and efilcienc}' and cpiipoise of the whole. Tlie deceiitralizntion of tedchei's' examinations and of those of luiiversitj- aiid prif'es,si()n matrieulation, due to the present, |)lan of making eacli High School a centie at which candidates miiy write, has undoid»tedly been a boon to all. I may, perhaps, be permitted to add, in this coiuiection, that it would be a concession generally apjM'eciated by the pulilie t(; increase, by at least (jne-half, the time assigned to each paper at these exannnations. There are many reasons which reatlily suggest themselves to jjractical teachers, why, if tlie ])epart- meiit errs, here, at all, it should be on the side of over-liberality. It is unquestionably a fact, that, with more time, hundreds ot candidates would make a Vietter showing than th<'y now do, and, thus, in many cases, unintentionally uniast rating would be avoided. ?!• m^ There air oIIkt Features of tlie educational system at present in Force, which seem, to n.e. to merit unqualified approval l)ut I have no time now to discuss them. I pai ticulariy re;,'ret that I am thus pre- cluded From saying' souk; oF tlie y constantly strii^i,din^ to attain to hinhtr phases oF existence. IF, hy any chance, an institu- tion ever reaches pcrFcetion, then- is, for it, no more s(iu<^(jle, decadence st^ts in, and death liy eardiae failure, or \>y seniU.' yan rcnc, or by j^en- eral piiresis closes the .scene. I trust, therefore, that our school systi'in is not yet within lOKO yeais (jf perfection. If time served,! would like to point out several jiarticulars in which it is more or less faulty, I can only now shortly indicate two oi' three of these. For instance. I am not altoe-ethei' in accord with I be complete divorcement of the academic anil pedaifcjific Functions in our Normal Schools. That, form- erly, the eiK'r^ies of the school were Fai' too lar<^(,'ly de\'oted to aeadinnic work, 1 readily admit. Xe\-ertheless the other extreme may be Found to l)e etpially a mistake. There are. I take it, sound pedaj^oi^dc r(!as()ns why these institutions should still ilo a bmiteil amoiuit of academic work. 1 thiid< tho.se rea.sons are so imperati\c that they must, event- ually, force their own recog"nition, and I venture to pre(bel that a lon^rei- experience of the present system will lead to a pai'tial restoration of the feature now so rigorously excludecl. 1 stron^jly approxc of the recent eliant;-e iiiade in tlu' constitution of Count}' Boarr how sensitively je; Ions tliese ])rofessions are of any outside interlerence with tlieirowii tfuild rii^hts and imipunities, 1 am oid\' surprised that thev iii('t<>ry. I have no syiiii)atiiy with the ery tiiat the Department en(!oura;,'es craniniinjf in the Uiyli Schools. As far as lean interpret the spirit and intent ol" tiie Departmental rej^ulations, and instructions to exam- iners, every jxissihie j)reveiitative nieasun-, that can \h'. adopted, is explicitly enjoiue*! ; and, moreover, the eminently real anssful system. I doulit whether more woi'k or hetter work is accomplished in I'uhlic and lii^'h Schools anywheri; idse in tla^ world. I will go further, and say i doubt wdiother ivs much good work is done anywhere else in schools of a similar gi'ade. Ihit to accomplish the.^e desirable ri'sidts your scliot)ls are run at high pnssin'e. Your .system is designed to take out of both teaclu;rs and taught all there is in them. The ((ducational dilettanteism, which so largely prevails to the .south of us, finds no place here, ihw American neighbors run what may be termed a decorated educational acconuiiodation train, where we run an every day through express. (Jur educational conductors and engine drivers are eai'iiest, keen-eyed, hardtistoil men, in work-a-day clothes, who mean business, and are lioiuid to run their trains on time. I have tlie pleasin'e of knowing many of (air High School Ma -tt is, personally or by repute. In scholarly attainments and knowledge of their pro- fession — in zeal and in the faithful discharge of duty, they are, I know, easily the j)ei'rs of the best men of their class el.sewhere in the world. We liave much reason to be proud of them. I know that some — I believe that many deplore this tendency to over-study, and do tla'ir best to prevent it, but tla; remedy lies not with them. The evil is perhaps, inherent to any advanced .school curriculum, vigonaisly pur- sued. Ycair c(«irse of study is necessarily arranged so as to meet the rei|uirements of .stutlents of fair or average ability. Unfortunately, there are, in (svery school, some pupils of less than average ability, who can only keep up with the class by extra work. If their inferiority is marked, the extra work u\ay become excessive. It is true that pupils can vegetate in the High School for years without writing for any examination whatever, hut neither they nor their parents want that. The former are self-impelled to over exertion by a not unnatural anxK ty to d o as we th as otliers The irreat factor, howev(;r. in )ro- inoting over-study on the part of High School pupils, is, 1 fear, a sort i:i|ii ol' fts II li'iyii — til'' |>i'i's,iir'' l)rniiirlil to lien.' oil tliiiii li\' aiiiliitifnis or iiijiidicioiiH part-nts. wlio arr loatli to lii;lic\ c tlwit t.lu-ii' family Iialf-pint ])otK an- not jiiHt asca|)ncioiis as iioij^IilMdiiij; t'ainily iiiiit or (|iiart pots, Tlic Hi'Mil Mastci's, as !

Of our Puhlic School system I have only to ;idmi'nt. which in kind, .iiid in extent, the ])reseiit system cannot siipply, and was ne\er inteiidc^d to supply. This ^ pi>^ ^.^<^ ^ Va H ^ 82 could be oHtablislu'd in sutticiont munbor to bi-tter roacli the recjuin;- inentH of the ninil population than they are now served by the Hi^li Schools. The anij)liHcatit)n of al! rural rubiic Schools would involve the obliteration of school sectiotis as they now exist, and the sub- division of a township into only three or four districts in place of the sixteen or twenty now oblainini;-. This plan would secure totoun- slnps all the benefits of ^a-aded scIkjoIs, would obviate the present waste of teachinj^ eneri;y, and would admit of a very material exten- sion of the Hcliool course of stu(i3\ Its adoption would prol/ably involve, as it does in sonic of the New Enii'land States, the canyinj,' of distant pupils to and from school at the public exjK'nse, but t]\at out- lay would be trilling compared with the saving etlected by having to e(|uip and maintain only three or four schools in place ot' sixteen or twentv. The problem of making tlie Public Schools e(|Ual to tlie new demands mad(> upon tiiem, mjty lie regarded as the most im])ortant now before tlie Education J)epartment ; and he who solves it satis- factorily and secures therewith the indispensable concurreiici; of the people, will do a grand Wvirk, and will deserve honor, second only to that conferred upon Dr. Hyerson himself. v; n THE JUBILEE BANQUET. The. Jubilee oelebv<).tion was liruu(i-lit to a conclusion l)y a l'an((uet at the Rossin House, on Tuesday evening-, November 'AvA, at wliich abouo one hundred gentlemen were present. It' the evein'no- had been tine, and, it' the ladies had been invite spo!:e ns f >]!ows : — I reu'ret that the Alumni of the Toronto >.'ormal Scliool hav not diUMnj;' tlie past half century cultivated o'reater loyalty to tlieir (iliiiii mfiier and a more fraternal .spirit amonjjf them- selves. The Toronto NoiMiial School has rendered invaluable service to the Provinc(! as one of its irr'>atest eduf'ational forces. From the very tirst, it established h high standard of fitness for the tcachinjj pro- fession, and during its whole career, it has clearly shown that the intelligent study of correct methods of teaching is '>f the utmost impo'tance to every one who would wisli to excel as a teacher. The Normal School has also given a gr(>at stimulus even to ter.chers who were unable to avail themselves of its advantages. Oft-times, the holder of a Normal School certificate had op])ortunities (if showing the superiority of tlie methods of study and instruction which he had acquired within its halls and many were ready to profit by his example and his success. In fact, every profession has been enriched because of the existence of this Normal School. 'J'o the young man whose ambi- tion carried him be^-ond the ranks of the teaching profession, the Normnl School was indeed an inspiration, and to-day not a few doctors and lawyers and clergymen had their ambition to improve their posi- tion in life, aroused by attendance at the Normal School. When the Toronto Normal School was established fifty year.^ ago, our School System was in its infancy ; ]3i'. Ryerson had just a year or two previously been appointed Chief Superintendent. The whole system of education was in a transition state. Who can tell to what extent the attention given at the Normal School to pedagogical prin- ciples, influeni'ed thii legislation with regard to Public and High Schools, the pre]iaration of text books, the courses of study, and every- thing that has contributed so greatly to the efficiency of our School System ? Let us not forget the pait Dr. Kyer.son played in the establish- ment of a school whose Jul)ilee we are no\> celebrating. Let us not foi'tret the efHcient work done by Dr. Robertson, the first Pi'incipal of the Normal School, and by Dr. Sangster, his successor, nor let us for- get the spirit which animated these men while endeavoring to lead their Jtudents to form higliev ideals of the pi-ofession in which tliey were then engaged, and of the inrtuence which thpre.ssed with the Jubilee and the celebration which had been held. During the pasttiftj' years the educational institutions of the Province had left a decided mark upon the national life. There was the deepest interest taken in eduoitional matters by every member of the House, no matter on which side of the Speaker he sat, and, altliough there might be some ditierence of opinion as regards some of the details in the mattei" cf administration anil t'ducation, they are all agreed that the educational system is one of which, as Ontarians and Canadians, they were justly proud. Col. Hughes, M. P., who respomled to the toast of the " Army, Navy and Volunteers, " was introduced bv tlie Chairman as one who had reflecteil credit upon the Normal School from which he graduated. The Colonel ju.stified the introcKictior of military ilrill into the Public and High Schools of the Pi'ovince as necessary and adxantageous, in order that a spirit of patriotism may be inculcated and habits of dis- cipline formed. The toast list was then handed over to the first Vice Chairman, Principal MacMurchy who proposed the toast of " Higher Education." President Loudon, who was the tirst to respond, as representing the University of Toronto, conj^ratulated the Normal School upon the very great success which had atlejided the eelebrati(jn. 'I'here shonld be, he opined, the clo.sest possible connection and kindliest feelings between the Normal School and the Colleges and Universities, all of which are links in our splendid system of education. Provost Welch, as one of a very small minority of those present who had not been connected with the Toronto Normal School, respond- ed on behalf of Trinity University. He paid a tribute to the impor- tance of tlie teaching profession, which was second only, if indeed second at ali, to that of the sacred calling of the ministry. Rev. Dr. Reynar, after apologizing for th(^ absence of C'hnneellor Burwash, said he felt at home in an assembly of the alimnii of the Normal School, whose founder (Dr. Ryer.son) was a Victoria man. It had also been his pleasure years ago to advocate the acceptance of :fill: 1 ." •■■ if mil m 'I •r- ! j r >i()nuiil School certiHciites hy Victoria, and li(> had onjoyi'd the satis- iat'tion ot ultimately sreiiii:;' tlnMii acci-ptcd.

I'ai-kin, who replied on behalf of Upper Canada College, referred to the great intlnence which the Noi-nial Schools exercised upon the jiiihlie life of the hnver Provinees hy fin-nishing men \\hohad won their way to seats in the < 'ahinet. In pro))osing the toast of ' Sister Institutions," Professor Hume refei'red to Sir Wiirripportunities to encourage and to cheer, to me also were assigned especially strong temptations to vex by .sharp reproof, and 1 greatly fear that [ oidy too frecpiently neglected my opportuni- ties and succumbed to my temptations in that respect. Piut it is a matter of rejoicing that we can here to-night still grasp the living fhigers, and gaze into the kindling e\es of so niau}'^ of our fellow graduates — that here to-night we once more thrill at the touch of long vanished hands and harl.en to the music of lony: silent voices, and trace the lineaments of once familiar facs, and the contour of once familiar forms. We are especially glad that, though we nuij' hail from many lands, may have wandered into numy diverging paths of life, may liave difien'ut faiths and belong to opposing political cam])s, we are here to night in our homogeneous capacity — a brotlier- hood — claiming a connuon educational origin an<1 acknowledging the same alma muter.

Aftir teachinji' accei)tal>ly for longer or shorter |)er- iods of time many of these left the profession ami climbed worthily, elsewhere, into positions of j^reat responsibility and power. To- day some of these till the ch! ^' pulpits of our own and other lands, or are amonrmal Schools, some are successful masters in High Schools and Collogiate Institutes and some are still engaged in the perhaps humbler but certaiidy no less useful and honouraljle work of teaching; in Public Schools. Of those still in harness a few have taiiglit continuously for fifty years, others for forty, thirty or twenty years We rejoice that so many have not turned back aftei- puttinjf their hand to the educational jilow. They have been and many of them still are engaged in a work of grandest potentialities. Their labours may be truly said to have touched thechiofest life springs of the nation. VVho shall attempt to estimate the aggregate of all the good they have accomjjlished during the past titty years ? What tape- line \\ix< inches enough, what cyclometer has miles enough, to measure the li.ngth and breadth of tlu; elevating and refining formative influence they have brought to l)ear on the young '.

I know of no thing that is smaller or more contemptible than a teacher wdio is a mere day-labon-r, working for hire, as though he wore comnnssioned simply to kill six hours a day for five days in the week. On the other hand 1 know of nothing that more completel}' tills my whole soul with kindling appreciation, and a satisfying sense of privileged power, than tlH> .spectacle of a true teacher in action— a largediearted, wholo-.souled, keen-eyed man or woman with energy and will power oozing from every pore of his corporeal being — with gaze resolutely fixed beyond the drudgory and daily routine of his office, on the formative, moulding, miml-making functit)ns that are his, and working with intelligence and determination towards the realiza- tion of his ideal, on each mass of plastic humanity in his art studio.
