 Emile: Or, On Education - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fifth and final book concerned the specific issues concerning the education of girls, using as an example a fictional girl named Sophie, raised and educated to be Emile's wife.
Aside from his theories on pedagogy, Emile also includes a character named Savoyard Vicar, widely known to have been the mouthpiece for Rousseau's religious ideas, and was written to be an example for the way in which religious matters should be discussed with young people.
Savoyard Vicar is also believed to have combined the traits of two Savoyard priests whom Rousseau had known in his childhood: Abbé Gaime from Turin and Abbé Gâtier from Annecy.

 Savoyard Light Opera Company
The mission of the Savoyard Light Opera Company (SLOC) is "...to associate ourselves for the purpose of encouraging and making generally available performances of the works of W. Gilbert and A. Sullivan, and other works of similar operatic, musical or theatrical nature, in Carlisle and nearby areas."
Now located in Carlisle, the Savoyard Light Opera Company has proximate roots reaching back over 30 years to Maynard, and deeper roots reaching back to London, where the first Gilbert and Sullivan collaboration, Thespis, was produced in 1871.
By 1980, with ten annual productions to its credit, the group formally incorporated as the Maynard Savoyards, drawing their name from the fact that the fourteen works written by Gilbert and Sullivan are known as the Savoy Operas after the operahouse built by Richard D'Oyly Carte for these charming and timeless musicals.
