wild" away in the northeaster- county of Aberdeen. He had been fortunate, he said, to have made several pilgrimages. notably, to the world's premier Shorthorn hero owned by the late William Duchie of Collynie Farm fame, of Aber- deenshire. Scotland.

Here several incidents were told concerning cattle breeding and men associated with it.

Like tributes, he added, could be paid to the breeders that had de- veloped in Scotland, Ayrshire, Ab- erdeen Angus, Galloway, and High- land cattle; Cheviot and Highland sheep; and Clydesdale horses, the blood of which had been used w improve herds and flocks in all parts of the world.

But, the most impressive feature of Scottish agriculture as he had seen it was the thoroughness with which work was done. Whether it be plowing or cultivating or seed- ing or any other farm practice, Scotslnen, generally, pride them- selves in doing the job as well as it can be done, an example that all can emulate to their advantage.

The Major Subject

Coming to the major subject of the evening he said that Scotch- men had achieved great eminence in almost all the higher spheres of human activity but especially in education, the professions, busi- ness, industry, and statesmanship. They have built up an unparalleled reputation for overcoming difficul- ties. Their achievements have been all the more remarkable in that: many of these world's great mczl were born and reared in pov- erty. Reasons have been given to account for their accomplishments but whatever the reason may be. the fact cannot be denied.

Andrew Carnegie, in a St. An- drew's address, said “The msot elemental traits of the Scot have been their inexting-uishabio love o] liberty, both civil and religious, and s. passion for education." He said, “His mountains and his glens, his moors and his heather, his bubbling burns. his religion, his climate — everything slurounding hln-inculcated in the core of the heart of the Scotsman this in- tense and all-consuming love of liberty and independence."

and a. Warden of the Primrose Lea- llue. I-Lls knowledge of Scottish hist- ory and literature was very 9mm. ill/c. and even when over eighty years of age he kept alive his ever- youthful enthusiasm in such mat- ters by frequent piigrimsges to places of historic interest, especially Wlth Y¢8flrd to Scott. Carlyle, Burns, Hogg and others; as the accom- Pflllyll}! Photograph shows, he kept his military connection by being a member of the Royal Body Guard f the K1118?! Scottish Archers.

But St. Andrew's Day was to him a festi- val which Colollel Irving observed with religious care, and he once remarked to a meeting of the An- nan Burns Club that he had at- tended every celebration of St. An- drewls Day for (then) over fifty years.

For the education of their chil- dren, the poorest Scotch family will suffer privatlon. They may starve. but rear their children in ignorance they will not.

DR. CUMIMINGS ADDRESS

Introducing his speech with 1m cidents and stories of Scottish life. Dr. Cumming said he would de- part from the usual St. Andrew's type of speech by saying some- thing of the agriculture of Scot- land. This, he considered, appro- priate because he was speaking in the capital of Prince Edward Is- land, the most distinctively agri- cultural province in Canada.

Agricultural practice in Scot- land varies from that on the crof- ter's small farm of the Highlands, from which little more than a liv- lng can be wrested, to extensive farms. mainly in the Lowlands though some in the Highlands, where are to be seen as fine fields of wheat, oats. potatoes, roots and hay us may be sccn anywhere 1n the world. He himself had dslted a farm at Dunbar, south of Edin- burgh, on which were grown four hundred acres of potatoes.

As in the Maritime Provinces. many of the small. P001‘ farms have, during recent years, been a- bandoned but not without leaving memories of men and women born mid reared in humble homes who have risen to the seats of the mighty in many countries of the

Love of Country

There may be other people who have been imbued with a greater love of their country but we doubt it. The very landscape of Scot- land. its romance arid no doubt the innate character of the people themselves have certainly develop- ed a love of country not only a- mongst those who have been born and reared in the homeland but even among descendants like our- selves. many of whom have never seen the hills and moors of Scot- land but who have been nurtured in tales of the romance and beauty of the country. One is not surprised to know that those im-

sidering the situation one should not overlook the fact that like a- bsnclonmcnt has taken place dur- ing the same period in Scotland as well as in other parts of the world.
