SCOTS' PLACE IN WORLD
INU.L1 DES EDUCATION IN ifllkl
EDONQIVIY.
Oat or Scotland There Has Emerged
a n Astonishing Procession o 1
Statesmen, Ecclesiastics, Soldiers,
Sailors, Scholars and 13anicerS.
In the curious whirligig of politico.
now revolving so rapidly in Great
Britain, it is 'surely significant that as
usual the winner in the gamble
should be a Scot. "Where MacGregor
sits," so runs the saying, attributed
by Frierson to a Highland chief,
"there is the head of the table"; and
if a MacGregor does not happen at
the moment to be available, a Mac-
Donald graciously consents to act for
him in the capacity of prune
minister.
From this bonnie yet barbarous
fragment of a haphazard geology,
surrounded by a ferocious ocean
swept by storms, soaked by rain,
swathed in mist, scarred by crags and
scattered into scarcely accessible is-
lets, there has emerged an astonish-
ing procession of statesmen, ecclesi-
astics, soldiers,' sailors, scholars and
bankers, most of them insisting that
the rest should caddie for them on
their native golf •course..
Why has it so happened, inquires'
P. W. Wilson, writing in the New
York Times magazine, and what is
wrong with the nations that have not
lived in Seotland? In their .day. the.
Romans realized the peril of a Scot-
tish aggression. Indeed they built two
lines of fortifications, 'designed to
keep the Scot at a distance. But it
was all futile. The Caesars are less
of a memorythan ever before, and
the Scots are more of a menace.
Let us bring a few statistics to
bear. In the last eighty years, Great
Britain has survivedfifteen prime
ministers. No fewer than seven were
born either in Scotland or of. definite
Scottish blood. They were Aberdeen,
Gladstone,Rosebery, Balfour, Ban-
nerman, Bonar Law and MacDonald.
Of the ten latest prime minis"ters, six
were Scots and one was Welsh.
At Culloden it was assumed that
the English troops under the amiable
prince who was described by his ad-
mirers
dmirers as Butcher Cumberland oblit-
erated the Scottish clansmen. But did
the Scots •accept defeat? Only as
poetry. They perceived that after all,
the disaster had its compensations. If
England had this nice little army and
nice little navy, why should not Scots
command them? During the great
war it was thus a field marshal ,nam-
ed Haig
nain-edHaig who led the. British forces on
land.
If the Scot is an `emigrant there is
a reason. In his country it is not easy
to climb the ladder. For in no coun-
try has there ever been less room at
the top. Hence we have the names of
Moffat, Livingston t -and Gordon, his-
toric in Africa, and of Macdonald,
Strathcona and Mackenzie King in
Canada. As an imperialist the Scot is
ubiquitous, and there are certain
families — Geddes, Haldane and the
like—which, as it were, are slated at
birth for the woolsack ambassador-
ships .and similar appointments.
In thechurch the Caledonian epi-
demic is as contagious as in the state.
Tait, primate of Canterbury, was a
Scot from Edinburgh. His son-in-law,
Davidson, also primate, was born in
Edinburgh. His successor, Cosnlo
Lang, reared a Presbyterian, was
educated in Glasgow. It is thus no
wonder that "Cantertlurgh" should
now be suggested as spelling for the
See of St. Augustine.
Of the successes of the Scot, there
are various explanations. According
to his critics, it is the predatory im-
pulse that accounts for his power. But
this does not explain why the Scot
is more efficient than others. The
reason can only be what we express
in the word, char atter.
Life in Scotland is hard, There
have not been as many bathrooms or
as many windows as neaith requires.
The national diet of haggis and por-
ridge was really indicative of drastic
economy which had. to be 'applied
even in this stern apprenticeship
there was --one advantage,
The Scottish lad and lass start life
face to face from the first with essen-
tials. Compared with the Italian, the
Scot is no artist. Confronted with his •
native granite, the Scot builds before
he carves. With hint it is life first,
luxuries later.
Many a Scotsman, leaving his na-
tive alcohol behind, believes after-
ward that he is a strict teetotaler be
cause he drinks nothing ,strongeii
than champagne or Irish whisky. So
with the gentle art of getting on. A
Scot who has climbed the streets of
Edinburgh can climb anywhere,
We do not yet realize how much of
the zeal for schools and colleges in
the .English-speaking world has been
inspired by the Scots. Generation of-.
' ter generation of boys and girls' in
counties like Perth and, Ayr have
been reared on a mere pittance, yet
excellently taught at school. No peas-
' entry anywhere has ever been at once'
• as thoughtful and as prayerful as
this peasantry. To the Scot, educa-
tion has been what the beatific vision
is to the ascetic.
To slake it easy has never been the
method. The Scot has believed that
the school and the church should be.

Her guests eyed her languidly.

of the bizarre into every party she

to stop flirtation, scandal, and talk
of real estate for a moment.

annoyed her.

She did road -worse, boxed, skipped

she was only twenty-three; but how
ridiculous to call one who had done
all she had done a 'girl -whom he had

too nice for this gathering to -night.
He colored. painfully. A prig, that's
what he was. And, she had moe•k'ed
him, saying she was an old-fashioned
girl at heart. And then, when this
chastest of all 'Dienes had tendered
an invitation, he had not the wit to
grasp it 'instantly, but must clumsily
ask ,her to tell him in words of one
syllable. Callow, that was the word.

Leeson eyed the man resentfully,
'and yet even in his resentment would
have granted the charm of the blond

had heard much of him. Stevens was

all those things which Leeson lacked:

things which accompany them. Lee-

ner Stevens had called across the ta-

"But we are the guests of Mrs..

as though interest had departed from
the night.
"Then let's go," he said.
Still she lingered, watching a couple
mount the steps leading from the wa-
ter; his eyes followed hers. He turn-
ed back to. her.
"Did the wrong man win the race
to you?" he demanded.
Slie twisted leer pretty shoulders.
"That's, a fallacy, that rot about the
best man losing, The right man al-
ways wins. I mean, the man who is
meant to win any particular thing,
wins it. He may not be- as goodor
as strong oras clever as the loser,.
but just the same, the stars in their
courses are not more inevitably sure
to travel the paths laid out than the

"Fatalist! Well, sometimes it's a

tined to beat young Leeson, stop
looking regretfully after him."

When man reaches that stage in his existence where the
urge for "home" dominates his thoughts he is suffering the first
stages of the "settling down" process. He begins planning a house.
and all that goes with it, and realizes that before he can settle down
and become a Solid Citizen he must "settle up."
Now this "settling up" business should be indulgedin at regu-
