Men Teachers Meet at Seaforth F. Clark ,MacDonald I ,A, Principal, Shunlah Public School, Port Arthur and President of Ontario Public School Men Teachers' Federation—Tour Messa€'e to Membership during Feb.' 17-26, 1955, at Seaforth, Meeting of the Public School Ilen Teachers of 'District 15A (Perth and Huron) was held in Seaforth Public School on Fri- day, Feb. 18th. The Provincial President, Mr. F. Clark ' Mac- Donald B.A., of Port Arthur and Mr, Wm. Lively, Assistant Provincial Secretary from Tor- onto were present. About 60 men joined in the meeting. In my first presidential re- marks in the Courier I ventured to suggest that this year 1955 should be a "get acquainted year" in O.P.S,M.T.F. At the time of writing I had no idea that I should be privileged to visit many of our members in their own districts because this was an idea which came to light in a later executive Meeting. The importance of "getting' ac- quainted" with those with whom and for whom we work cannot be overestimated. Without mu- tual understanding 011 the part of the participants no community project will be successful. Otir big projects in federation will bear fruit if we, as mem- bers understand one another and appreciate the views of those for whom we work. I look upon my visit to your district as all opportuntiy to get something and to give some- thing, I am trying to assess the value of the district organiza- tion in the promotion of educa- tion at the District and Branch level. I am trying to find: out the feeling of our men toward their work as educators and ex- amine their own evaluation of the position they hold. I am trying to learn the atti- tude of trustees and civic ad- ministrators toward the service OUT men teachers are giving. In order to find out answers questions must be asked. I am asking members to whom I speak these questions: (1) Do you regard teaching as a profession and your own job as being just as important as that of any other citizen in the community? 12) If so do you feel qualified to carry out your duties with confidence and effectiveness? (3) As a teacher are you con- sciously endeavouring to im- prove your status every day? 1(4) Are you satisfied with the rewards of a life devoted to teaching? When chatting with trustees and other civic leaders I am ask- ing some different questions. (1) In your experience what type of man best fills the posi- tion of teacher from the point of view of (a) pupils -(b) parents? (c) trustee? (2) Do you feel that this com- munity has been well served by its inen teachers? (3) :Have you any suggestion to offer the NIen Teachers Fed- eration on how standards of ed- ucation night be improved in your area? You will notice that all the questions emphasize men teach- ers. It has been said that man's keenest appreciation for true values conies only in retrospect. The greatness of an event, a work of art, a poem, is felt only alter some little time has elapsed following the actual experience, There is something about human contemplation that brings out a fuller realization of values. Wisdom generally goes with age. -. The teacher who can look back over two decadds of ser- vice—the time required to evolve a new generation—is a man qualified to judge the inn- portance of teaching. The privi- lege of looking back over the years and seeing the develop- ment of children into responsi- ble citizens is one enjoyed only by the older teacher. And I say that we older teach- ers who have strong convictions about the high calling of the teaching profession must imbue the younger members with a sense of teaching's importance. If intelligent men know a thing to be true they will be- lieve in that - thing and have faith in it: Your provincial officers in this federation are all men of long experience—who are teach- ing the second and third gener- ations. In my opinion one of the prime functions of these of- ficers is to Instil in every mem- ber, young and old a firm be- lief in his importance to society —and in the ligfit •of that im- portance urge the dedication of his every talent to the cause of education. Clare Reith Heads Credit Union The Seaforth Community Cre- dit Union held its annual meet- ing on Monday night, when John Hotham jr. was added to the board of directors, Clare Reith becomes president, succeeding P.
