Aletta Marty

"I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can."

In 1919, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws to Aletta Marty, MA 1894, who was a pioneering force for education reform in Canada.

Dr. Marty had come to campus to study modern languages and soon proved herself an excellent student, winning the modern language medal the year she graduated.

After leaving Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, she burst onto the Ontario teaching scene with an innovative approach to education. Dr. Marty felt that the status quo in teaching was bland and outdated, so she would bring in new technology to spruce up her lessons. Phonographs and films complemented her lectures at a time when both were relatively novel.

In a short amount of time, Dr. Marty built a reputation for herself as a dynamic educator, and was remembered in the Queen's Alumni Review as, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�an outstanding teacher. Her keen intellect, her broad sympathy, her fine sense of humour and her radiant personality made her a great force in the classroom카지노 게임 컬렉션� It is only necessary to meet Dr. Marty카지노 게임 컬렉션�s pupils 카지노 게임 컬렉션� to witness the stimulating effect of her name, and the instant, affectionate response 카지노 게임 컬렉션� to realize the extent of her influence.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

That influence earned her a promotion. She was appointed head of the Department of Modern Languages in the Collegiate Institute where she taught in Ottawa, the first woman to ever hold the position. Her success as department head earned her the opportunity to edit the Ontario High School Reader, which was used in schools across the province to boost student literacy. The fame and repute that came from that work earned her another promotion, this time to become Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s first female school inspector.

A pioneering approach to education

As inspector, Dr. Marty was particularly interested in the New Education Movement, a new style of thinking that saw children as fully human beings, rather than needing to be trained into adult behaviours. It was a strong departure from what had come before, focusing on the holistic social needs of children rather than just seeing them as vessels to be filled with information. Her interest in the movement inspired her to write An Educational Creed, which explained her teaching philosophy.

Some of its main tenets were:

• I believe in education as the most profitable investment in the world today.
• I believe that the country should provide equal opportunities of education for all children, rural and urban, whatsoever their social standing or mental endowment.
• I believe in education as a continuous, lifelong process, which should be fostered through the extension of our educational system.

Though she was thoroughly devoted to her work with schools, Dr. Marty also managed to contribute to and lead a dazzling number of organizations. She helped lead the 카지노게임사이트 Women카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Club, the Women카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Canadian Club, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 Council, helped found the YWCA, was president of the Toronto Teacher카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Association, actively promoted Canadian literature at home and abroad, and participated in both the League of Nations and the Junior Red Cross.

While on an educational exchange to South Africa in 1929, Dr. Marty died of a heart attack. Along with her many contributions to Canadian society and education, one of her most enduring and impactful legacies has been the Marty Scholarship, which was created in her honour at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in 1937. The award is presented to women pursuing graduate work.

In 1984, the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Alumnae Association published Still Running카지노 게임 컬렉션� to mark the scholarship카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 50th anniversary. It compiled the stories of many of the Marty Scholarship카지노 게임 컬렉션�s recipients who used the proceeds to support impressive work. One story details work done during the Second World War in the Canadian atomic research effort; another describes work that helped make possible the discovery of DNA; recipient Judith Thompson describes how the Marty Scholarship helped support her as she worked to become a professional playwright.
