The School Age. Mr. George M'Lay said that dur ing the last half-century the con- ception of what they meant by education had changed so steadily, so imperceptibly, that few of the younger generation.could visualize the aim of education 50 years ago, and the conditions under which tenchers tried to attain it in their schools. Before 1879 the teachers in the old parish schools and in the few High School and Grammar School had placed their country in the van of educational progress and established the tradition, which still persisted, that Scotland was the best educated country in the world. (Applause.) It was not for him at that time of day to contradict this generally accepted dictum. He could only express the opinion that they could not live on tradition, and that they must work very hard indeed if they wished to justify and maintain that tradition in face of the kees competition and active advance amongst other nations and over the world Their old ideal of He felt it has duty to poIDE: ONL education had its roots in the to teachers, to parents, and to the classics. The ambition of parents public that definite crisis in their system of train of teachers was and teachers was to send their boys rapidly approaching. They had to the University.
