"The Scotchman is able to fit him- self into new conditions, to get along iwith other nations in a remarkable manner. Ihave great admiration for the English. In fact, the first-rate Englishman is bigger than anything in Scotland-- you know, was But the Englishman is stiff, can see only his own point of view. "Once upon a' time Englishmen |made an empire of their own unaided efforts--the United States of Am- erica. As I understand the quarrel that lost the new country, both sides were right and wrong. Compromise could have settled the differences, but those differing were English, and the first empire broke up. Since then the Scotchmen has been flowing, like oil, through the machinery of the British Empire, and has kept the parts in harmonious work, In this complex Empire the adaptable qual- ity of the Scotch has been invalu- able. "But, while adaptable in a new country, the Scotch preserve a pas- sionate devotion to their own land. We hear talk of clannishness, but this love of the Scotch for Scotland has been a great asse. of Empire. "The Englishman, when he goes abroad, is prome to grow cold and critical of England, but no Scotch- man loses his love for Scotland. We are proud of the land we come from for what it has been and is now. Scotland has done much for us; we rejoice that we can do something for The sacrifice is a terrible one, but it is made willingly. The lists of the fallen contain Scotch names connected with Torouto, Win- mipeg, Vancouver, but, as a Scotch- man, I read the honor roll with thoughts of the Highlands, the Bor- der, Fife, Ayrshire, and the Midloth- jans. The names ring out in old Shakespeare, as {songs and ballads. 'Gentlemen, it is the same race fighting again the battle, fought for a thousand years, against wrong and oppression. And, with God's help, we will win." Misconceptions. Prof. Scott referred to some popu-| lar misconceptions. For example, it wis not true that the Scotch lacked humor. Scotch writers, Seoteh vil- lages, and Scoteh history revealed, not only humor of the best type, with its shrewd common sense, but a tender sentiment that was the ground-note of the Scottish char- acter, The Scotch were not parsimoni- ous, They were nm ot niggardly. They did not spend on/self; they did not indulge in luxuries, but who gave more freely to a worthy cause. The Scotel were romantic: "Every chapter rea . "ke an epic poem. The reasor always acted on ideal motives of re- ligion, patriotism, and loyalty." "Vote for the full dinner pail," was placarded and cried in the late Presidential election in the States, but, while the Scotch had good appe- tites, they would never rally to such a slogan. The Scotch stand for ideal interests, lofty motives, not for things sordid, not for the full dinner pail, President H. M.
