Address by Henry F. Hall al the banquet commemorating the 21 sf. year of the 'Georgian'.

This is a great and happy occasion and I feel particularly close to my audience tonight. You are my friends who, over the years, have worked in the same place. I do not know whether you have- learned from me, but I have certainly learned from you. And now we meet to celebrate the achievement of the years and perhaps to look forward to years yet to come. Perhaps first of all you would expect me to say something about the College. We have grown and developed, but still the task remains. Each generation in its o_wn way must start over and relearn. As Da Vinci said: "Time present is the last of what has gone before and, also, the first of that to come." Part of what­ ever -prestige and position the College has gained ver the past 21 years belongs to you who have contributed to its building. A College is not a building or even an organization. It is primarily a spirit, a concept, and must be maintained by a cooperating group. May I take the liberty, on this occasion, of suggesting to you a few simple propositions which seem to me to be apt for our time and place. The first of these is to preach what you practice. Many counsel the opposite and this is, of course, basic and tnie. But in our day it seems to me that those who hold ideals must also have courage to .enunciate them. My second proposition is that we are all educators. I often wish that we who are older had some of the influence that the younger generation exert on each other. No theory, nor logic, can absolve us from the responsibility of our day by day influence on each other. The question of Cain: "Am I my brother's keeper?" is still basic to the practical ordinary life of each one of us. In the third place, is it not still true as Carlyle said, that man's happiness consists not in the abundance of his possessions? This, of course, is the opposite of popular belief and practice:. I suggest, however, that if you and I list the names of those whom we believe are happy, we will find little cor.relation be­ tween their material possessions and their degree of happiness. Finally, is it not true that growth, development or education is a lifelong quest? Therefore, the most fundamental thing about a good education, in the formal sense, is the beginning of that quest. Many people are concerned, and rightly so, about the curricula of colleges. What we learn may be important, hut our basic attitudes are more important because they determine a lifetime of development. Many of you have heard me say that a college experience is only the basis of the educational process. I wonder if you have found this to he true thus far in your experience. Amid the joy of this occasion there is one touch of sadness. Dr. Kenneth Norris whom many of you knew and loved, as I did, has gone from our sight. This, of course is not a time for sadness or sorrow and in thinking of him, may we remind ourselves of the statement by Thucydides: "The whole world is the monument to great men1. They live not only in stones erected above their graves, but are everywhere woven into the texture of other people's lives." However we live, our deeds, our words, our lives are woven into that texture of others.

The Po1t9rad -3- Spring, 1958 THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE T~ere are two things I do before each Alumni Executive Meeting-I read t~e J?lilUtes of the previous meeting and I read a list of statements. I prepared this hst of statements when I first became President of the Alumni Association, and I have been ad,ding to thls list from time to time. Since the Nominating Committee is now in the process of nominating a new slate of officers for the Executive of the Alumni Assciation, I would like to pass these statements on to the new executive for what they are worth. I sincerely believe that this list has helped me as President of the Alumni Association. 1. Understand the fundamental aims and objectives of the Alumni. 2. Perhaps it is better to try and .sell activities rather than the objectives at which these activities are aimed and the values which result. 3. Delegate responsibility to executive members hut also delegate the necessary authority to complete the project. 4. Run an efficient administration of finances and be concerned with the budgetary aspect of the Association. 5. Understand the legislative processes in a democracy. 6. What techniques can he used to create and sustain the interest of the executive .and the members? 7. Look ahead and build for the future as well as meeting the needs of the immediate present. 8. Take time to understand and appreciate the other fellow's point of view. 9. Evaluate activities-should they be continued, can they be improved? One of the key people who helped me and the executive to accomplish some of the goals outlined in the above statements was Mrs. Irma Klar, our office secretary. Mrs. Klar is leaving us at the end of March, and on behalf of the Executive, and members of the Alumni Association, I w.',sh to thank her for the fine work she has done for the Association of Alumni-she will be missed.

The Po·stglad EDUCATION FOR·THE FUTURE by MOREY ROSSMAN, B.A._'54

Sputnik has come, and in its jet stream has left a wake of chaos, excitement and perplexity s.uch as has ,never been seen since the Lindberg kidnapping. Aside (rom the vast wealth of scientific knowledge :which it will afford observers, it has . provided us with an elixir of .life for the -field of education. The long slumbering Rip Van Winkles of •the, educational field hav~ suddenly been a'Yakened from their dormancy. . A little ball revolving about _th,e earth, has managed to throw education into a state of frenzy; a thing which diligent philosophers,have been qnable to do for many years.. Vive Sputnik is_~U I can say. We may forever he indebted to it for helping us to bring about much needed reforms in the educational system. However, let us not rush like panic stricken fools in the wrong direction. The signposts to a better type of educational system are very clear. Let us follow them very carefully in order to he aware of the many pitfalls· and skeletons which lurk in -the shadows. Let us not he fooled by some vague notions that these refoi'ms can he brought about overnight. Re-organization is a very di!Jicult task, and must he tackled very cautiously in order t~at the results he lasting and advantegeous. Let us not plunge recklessly into some scheme that will he obsolete in a short time and bring nothing hut more criticism upon the field of education. ' . ' The first thing that educators must bring themselves to realize is that the classroom is not a garden. It may do very well to have goldfish and African violets in your room, hut observing these ·for five hours a day will certainly not advance the knowledge of the gifted child nor arouse the instincts of the backward child. The educational system as it now stands requ~red revision from the gro.und up. Re-organization, in the fuUest sense of the word, implies large expenditures of money. Before we can hope to construct an efficient educational edifice, it is necessary to loosen our purse strings. The additional f~ds can he obtained from one of two sources, or from hoth. We can either seek an increase in taxation, which places the burden directly on the taxpayer, or we may ask for increased government subsidies , for- education. Primary and secondary schools are the cornerstones for the pyramid which has as its apex the university. We must insert these cornerstones soundly and cautiously lest the entire structure crumble before our eyes. The only way we can hope to produce soundly educated men is to re-organize the primary schools, for it is in these schools that the greatest faulting has developed. It is at this level that we must apply the remedy so that the cure can he effected in the higher grades or secondary schools. Let us now try to analyze our problem with a rational, logical eye in the light of present day circumstanc~s. Firstly,.:we may tum our revolving eye to our public school system. As we all know, at the present time the primary school system in Quebec consists of seven grades. That situation in itself is not too had, but could stand improvement. We will return to this point shortly. Let us first turn our attention to an even 1nore acute pro~lem. At the present time there is a trend on the Board's part to what we shall call de-specialization. This means that a person who does not know a fugue from a sonata will, with the help of gramophone records and a manual, endeavour to insti11 a cultural awareness and appreciation of music to a class full of children. This in itself is aU wrong. It is just as wrong as going to a shoemaker to have a suit made. Is Picasso capable of teaching music or history? By the same token,

The Po,lgrad -10- Spring, 1958 a person ignorant of music or art is incanable of teaching these suhjects and leastways of doing a competent job in these fields. Rather than leaning away from specialization it is in this direction that we should proceed in order to remedy the a palling educational system. Only a specialist can recognize the, par­ ticularly gifted children in each of the various subjects. To expect that one teacher can competently teach ten subjects is t1heer foolishness. To 'do any ·out~ side research on such a great number of subjects would require niore time than there are hours in a day. We must amend our primary school system to include but six grades. Starting at grade IV there should he specialist teaching in the social sciences, literature and read:ng, mathematics. and sciences, music and art (plastic and otherwise) . At no time should the gifted child lie segregated from the average or below average child. In certain instances it would he meritorious to separaie the children hut not in a democra<,y. In a democracy those children who wilJ eventually he leaders must learn to appreciate and be sympathetic toward the abilities and viewpoints of .. the average and below average· _child. They mus_t learn to understand those children, for they are naturally the majority. It is our duty to train the gifted child to acclimatize itself Jo the slower child, so that later it may govern and educate these people wisely. Specialization of teachers, therefore, logically eliminates the necessity of segregation. Another .factor which will have to be standardized is examinations. -Ever since the Protestant Central School . Board has been the governing and co­ ordina_ting body for all schools . on the island, it has never ceased to amaze me with the ignorance it has shown in the subject of examinations. The special­ ists will now take turns in setting examinations. All schools will :use the same texts and proceed at the same rate of speed. The examinations will be made up in three sets-one for the below average, one for the avera(!e and one for the gifted. Examinations will be given in all schools on the same date and under the same conditions. Examinations will he corrected by a board of specialists in conference. Naturally, reports for all the schools on the island will he standard­ ized and marks will be represented in the same manner and on a similar basis. Of course, this system presupposes that no teacher will be hired without at least a university education. Teachers, henceforth, will have ·to he scrutinized just as carefully as the pupils in order to make sure that only the most competent are selected. This will necessitate raising the status of teachers to a level which will make them comparable to, say, engineers ·or architects. · On completion of ,grade VII the child should he subjected to a battery of psychological and occupational tests in order to determine his or her particular aptitudes and abilities. .. _ It will be necessary for the boards to hire a staff of qualified psychologists in order to interpret the various tests being given. The next stage of education should be the intermediate grades, 7, 8 and 9. Jn these grades specialization should be continued. The children with low academic aptitudes should be channeled into divisions requiring less of an academic intelligence. The other ,children should be given as broad a general education as possible, in order that they be able to choose wisely rfrom the various divisions of education open to them when the appropriate time comes. The next stage of education should be the se.nior stage; grades 10, 11, 12 and 13. At the grade 10 level the senior high should subdivide into divisions comparable to_the modern day university. The children are again tes_te~ on_the

by BOB HAYES

A group of ex-Georgian staffers got together in March for what _was probably one of the most snccessful -reunions of its kind. The group, many of whom continued in newspaper work, was helping to celebrate The Georgian's 21st (Coming of Age) birthday. The banquet was sponsored by members of the paper's present ,staff, who also thought up a unique way to help finance the effort. The boys sold all the old pictur~ "cuts" that had been gathering dust over the years for scrap. According to Editor Simson Najovits it only covered a small part of the total expense, with the bulk coming out of The Georgian's own budget. It provided a wonderful opportunity for all the Old Boys to get together for a fine meal an.d a few drinks in the familiar surroundings of the "B"- It's still a popular hangout for Sir George students. Many thanks to The Georgian editorial staff for remembering us in their celebration.
