Another Ontario school in which she taught was near the famous bird, sanctuary at. Kingtville. The late Jack Miner was a neighbour and a friend. The ."honk honk" of the wild geese was a familar sound in this school. Then Miss Scott moved to Albert to continue in the,,„ teaching profession. At queenstOwn there, where she was teaching she 'was the only person unable to speak Norwegian — the common language of the community.
