The Toronto Normal School was instituted by the late Dr. Ryerson for the purpose of training teachers for Public School work. In fact, it was an integral part of the system of education which he recommended after having visited the schools of Europe and the United States, under the direction of the Government, with a view to legisla tion of a comprehensive character for the schools of Ontario. An experience of fifty years in the development of this system (the Normal School included) has clearly shown the wisdom of his conclusions and its adaptation to the social and municipal institutions of the country. There was no feature of the system of education founded by Dr. Ryerson which had a more important bearing upon Elementary and High School education than the establishment of the Toronto Normal School. For many years it was the only educational seminary at which the training, qualifying a man or woman for the profession of teaching could be obtained. It was always a Normal School, even in the modern sense of the term, for every subject which the student was expected to master was also considered in a pedagogical sense. Much can be said in favor of this early feature of our Normal School, and no doubt, were it not that the High Schools of Ontario attained to such pre-eminence, the literary courses, originally established in the Normal School, would have been continued to this day. During the last half-century, a great multitude of students gradu ated from the Toronto Normal School, all of whom felt that they were indebted to its curriculum and staff for a certain mental stimulus which was of great value to them in after life. And so it occurred to some of the earlier students that an opportunity should be given them of doing honor in some public way to their Alma Mater. Out of this desire laudable and kindly in the highest degree, arose the Jubilee Celebra tion, which it is the object of this volume to record. The opportunity VI. was an admirable one to let the Province see how the old students appreciated the services of some of the great men who, nearly half a century ago, were connected with the educational work of the Province. They were all great teachers men of magnetic personality and thoroughly in sympathy with the teacher s work. It was meet that their names should be revered by their students and held in grateful remembrance by the country which they served. Their portraits in the school room where they taught will remind successive generations of teachers, of the honor that has been done them, while the impetus they gave to scholarship and education will go on, it is hoped, increas ing with the wealth and growth of the country. Not the least gratifying circumstance in connection with the Jubilee was the presence of two of its fir.st graduates, Dr. E. H. Dewart and Dr. J. H. the one a divine of the Methodist Sangster ; distinguished Church, and the other a former Principal of the School, but more recently a physician in active practice. The story of their early difficulties to acquire an education is best told in their own words. It is to be hoped their example will be imitated by many of their fellow- Canadians. The large attendance of old students indicated the respect in which the Normal School is held by the graduates of former years. Every function in connection with the celebration appeared to be enjoyed to the fullest degree, the only regret in the case of many being that public duties would not allow them to give as much time to the exercises as they desired.

COPY OF THE JUBILEE PROGRAMME 202 [vii.J THE TORONTO NORMAL SCHOOL JUBILEE CELEBRATION. The Jubilee Celebration was inaugurated by Divine Service in the Metropolitan Church, Toronto, on Sunday evening, October 31st, 1897. It was conducted by the Pastor, Rev. R. P. Bowles, M.A., B,D., assisted by Revds. John R. Phillips, R. P. McKay, M.A., and by Rev. E. H. Dewart, D D., who preached the sermon. The centre pews of the church were reserved for members of the Convention, among whom were the Committee of Management, the present Normal and Model School staffs, inspectors of schools from different parts of the Province, teachers from the city and from the country, and a number of ex- students of the Normal School, some of whom are members of other professions, while others have retired from professional work. SERMON: THE TRUE ELEMENTS OF INDIVIDUAL AND NATIONAL PROGRESS AND STABILITY. Rev. E. H. Dewart, D.D. (A Student of the 1st Session). J* J* " And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of Salvation : the fear of the Lord is his treasure." Isa. 33 : 6. Memorial Commemorations. The commemoration of important events has been practised from the earliest times of which we have any account. In the Old Testa ment we find many interesting illustrations of this usage. Jacob erected a stone pillar and called it Beth-El the house of God where he saw the vision of angels and received Divine revelations. After the passing of the Jordan, Joshua set up twelve stones to be a memorial of that event, so that when the children should ask their fathers, [1] " What meaneth these stones?" they could tell them of what the Lord had done for Israel. After a victory over the Philistines, Samuel set " " up a memorial stone and called it Ebenezer," saying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." The Feast of the Passover was a perpetual memorial of a great deliverance. In more modern times people have commemorated great battles national deliverance from threatened the which gave subjugation ; that beginnings of important movements were fruitful in blessings ; the work of patriots who lived noble and useful lives and removed evils that had the and events that affected oppressed people ; personal and family life for good. Such commemorations are not foolish or unfruitful. All that is good in our present civilization is the outgrowth of seed sown in the past. In reviewing and commemorating such events as I have men tioned, we may catch something of the spirit that inspired the brave deeds that call forth our admiration. We may gather lessons from 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 prompt us to live more worthy of our great privileges and opportunities. An Event Worthy of Commemoration. The common disposition to place a high estimate on things that possess outward features that attract attention often causes us to underestimate forces that operate more quietly. But the event we celebrate on this occasion, though it belongs to the latter class, is eminently worthy of being held in grateful remembrance by the people of this country of every class and creed. The establishment of a Normal School for the training of teachers for our Public Schools was the opening of a fountain at which many thirsty souls, whom cir cumstances had previously shut out from such a privilege, were per to slake their for mitted thirst knowledge. I can testify from per sonal experience and observation that the students at the earlier ses sions were nearly all of this class.

The ways that Black students are constantly misjudged and mistreated by teachers and guidance counsellors is an injustice to our community. As educators who seek to enrich an increasingly diverse nation, it is your duty and responsibility to encourage, motivate, challenge and strengthen Black students like all others. When you begin to see Black students as part of your community, only then will you effectively fulfill your job as an educator. ~ Black Student About This Project This report is the result of a collaborative project between Dr. Carl James, Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora at York University; the African Canadian Legal Clinic (ACLC); and the Ontario Alliance of Black School Educators (ONABSE).

  • Theory, History, and Practice of Education: Fin De Siècle and a New Beginning
    Reginald Edwards McGill University Theory, History, and Practice of Education: Fin de siècle and a new beginning Abstract The history and development of normal schools is traced through a summary of events that transpired in France, the United States, Britain, and Canada. The author examines the roots of several systems ofteacher training and identifies specifie institutions (normal schools) that played an important role in bringing to McGill University key persons interested in the training of teachers. Much of the article is devoted to linking the diverse influences that culminated in the establishment of the McGill Normal School, the Macdonald CollegeforTeachers, and the Macdonald Chair ofEducation. Whilethearticle outlines the history of McGill's role in teacher education in Quebec and Canada, it also gives a broad perspective on the history of normal schools in Europe and North America, and their influences on teacher education today. Résumé L'histoire et le développement des écoles normales est retracée par un résumé des événements qui se sont produits en France, aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne et au Canada. L'auteur analyse les racines de plusieurs systèmes de formation des maîtres et se penche sur certains établissements (écoles normales) qui ont contribué àfaire venir à l'Université McGill des personnes clés s'intéressant à la formation des maîtres. Une bonne part de l'article est consacré aux diverses influences qui ont abouti à la création de la McGill Normal School, du Macdonald Collegefor Teachers et de la Chaire Macdonald des sciences de l'éducation. Si l'auteur dresse l'historique du rôle joué par McGill dans laformation des maîtres au Québec et au Canada, il propose une vue d'ensemble plus étendue de l'historique des écoles normales en Europe et en Amérique du Nord et de leurs incidences sur laformation des maîtres telle qu'elle est dispensée aujourd'hui.

Several historians, myself included, have ventured broad overviews of how and why Quakerism changed in the nineteenth century. But now we have a careful, incisive analysis of those changes at the local level. Healey's subject is Yonge Street Monthly Meeting in Ontario. Shortly after 1800, Friends from Vermont and Pennsylvania took advantage of generous land grants to settle north of what would become Toronto.
