About this book
In the late 19th century, as Canada was solidifying its identity, the unveiling of the Ryerson statue marked a pivotal moment in educational history. The "Ryerson Memorial Volume," prepared by J. George Hodgins, pays tribute to Dr. Egerton Ryerson, a visionary whose commitment to public education laid the groundwork for a more informed society. This document not only chronicles Ryerson's influential role but also emphasizes key principles such as equitable access to education and the importance of a structured curriculum. Ideal for historians and civic activists, this volume serves as a crucial resource for understanding the evolution of education in Ontario and the enduring legacy of one of its most significant figures.
