English Master
From GEORGE OGILVIE, Esq., M.A., Headmaster.
Broughton Junior Student Centre, Edinburgh, 21st February 1911.
Mr WILLIAM KAY attended the classes for Pupil-Teachers in this Centre for three sessions (1904-07), and distinguished himself by his gifts of character and intellect. He was an ideal Student: thorough and painstaking in his work, and always gentlemanly and loyal in his bearing. His work in English was much above the average, marked as it was by wide knowledge and power of expression. 1 recollect also that he excelled in Mathematics and Science, I have followed his subsequent career at University and Training College with great interest, and am happy to say that in spite of the handicaps under which he has laboured he has not belied his early promise. I feel sure that he will prove an excellent Teacher. To his knowledge he adds skill in teaching and methods of discipline at once firm and sympathetic. He is also well suited physically for the post he now seeks. He is well set up and by judicious attention to sport has built up a fund of health. It is also to his credit that he has for some years been a member of the Territorial Force, and in addition to the ordinary duties of the Service has been employed in clerical and cartographical work, In short, I do not know any man I could more cordially recom- mend. He will give of his best, and that best will be excellent.
