Types of Canadian Women Before the Public THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE are few national institutions of more value and interest to the THEREcountry than the Royal Military College at Kingston. At the same time, its object and the work it is accomplishing are not sufficiently under- stood by the general public. ' The College is a Government institution, designed primarily for the pur- pose of giving the highest technical instructions in all branches of military science to Cadets and Officers of Canadian Militia. In fact, it is intended to take the place in Canada of the English Woolwich and Sandhurst and the American West Point. The Commandant and Military Instructors are all officers on the active list of the Imperial army, lent for the purpose, and in addition there is a complete staff of Professors for the civil subjects, which form such a large proportion of the College course. Whilst the College is organized on a strictly military basis the Cadets receive, in addition to their military studies, a thoroughly practical, scientific and sound training in all subjects that are essential to a high and general modern education. The course in Mathematics is very complete, and a thorough grounding is given in the subjects of Civil Engineering, Civil and Hydrographic Sur- veying, Physics, Chemistry, French and English. The object of the College course is thus to give the Cadets a training which shall thoroughly equip them for either a military or civil career. The strict discipline maintained at the College is one of the most valuable features of the system. As a result of it young men acquire habits of obedience and self-control, and consequently of self-reliance and command, as well as experience in controlling and handling their fellows. In addition, the constant practice of gymnastics, drills and outdoor exer- cises of all kinds, ensures good health and fine physical condition. An experienced Medical Officer is in attendance at the College daily. Five Commissions in the Imperial regular army are annually awarded as prizes to the Cadets. The length of course is three years, in three terms of 9^ months' residence each. The total cost of the three years' course, including board, uniforms, instructional material and all extras, is from $750 to $800. The annual competitive examination for admission to the College will take place at the Headquarters of the several military districts in which candidates reside, in May of each year. For full particulars of this examination, or for any other information, application should be made as soon as possible to the Adjutant-General of Militia, Ottawa, Out.

INTRODUCTION After four years of almost uninterrupted labour, mainly of research, I have the satisfaction of placing this first volume of the " " Types of Canadian Women before the public. My satisfaction is blended with sincere gratitude for the patriotic sympathy and generous help to which such measure of success as I have attained has been largely due. From the first announcement of my pur- pose, suggestions, reminders, references flowed in upon me from near and far. I was thus often brought within reach of information that would otherwise have remained hidden from me. I shall have an opportunity by and by of expressing my thanks more fully to the most cordial and effective of such coadjutors. Meanwhile, they cannot be better represented than by the names of Lord Strathcona, the Honourable Mr. Justice Baby, the Hon. Mr. Justice Girouard, Sir Sandford Fleming, the Hon. Senator Gowan, C.M.G., and Mr. John Reade, whose good-will, expressed in so many ways, I justly and gladly acknowledge. I am also thankful in another and larger sense. Arduous though the research (which involved the writing of thousands of to letters) has necessarily been, I never for a moment had reason rue my undertaking. If it sometimes caused weariness of the flesh, the languor was dispelled by refreshings of the patriotic heart as ever new surprises disclosed the wealth of the mine which it was my happy lot to have opened to the world. That this good fortune should have fallen to me was doubtless due to the fact that I had been so long engaged in biographic investigation. For at almost half a century I had been eagerly watching the careers, home and abroad, of the more distinguished of my fellow-country- men. In such a pursuit I could not fail to be attracted to the rare deserts of many Canadian women. These have due places assigned to them in previous publications of mine. It was, however, only the within recent years that I contemplated (vaguely at first) " making of such a book as this a book in which the predominant vi INTRODUCTION " partner has only a casual share. Once the idea had taken pos- session of my mind, I felt like the convert from whose eyes the scales had fallen. If, however, I had been blind so long to the claims of women, I was not alone. Indeed, my "Types" might never have been dreamed of had I not been swept unconsciously into the current of the age and felt the urgency of one of its most vital movements. With what is revolutionary in that movement I have, it is true, no sympathy. But the man must be obstinate in his prejudices who disdains to acknowledge the need and the good of the reforms in female education that have begun to atone for the long injustice of the past. Of course, in the woman (as in the man) of genius there is an innate force that impels her to the attainment of what is essential for the fulfilment of Her destiny. Strong desire seems not only to suggest a forecast but to create the path to its goal. It must at the same time be conceded that, even for women of the privileged classes, the road for intellectual advancement was, until quite recently, so uphill and arduous as to be practically prohibitive. About a century and a half before the accession of Queen Victoria, Daniel De Foe wrote an essay on the Education of Women, which, read to-day, shows what a start he had of his 1 " generation. I cannot think," he writes, "that God Almighty ever made women so delicate, so glorious creatures, and furnished them with such charms, so agreeableo and so delightfulo to mankind, with souls capable of the same accomplishments with men, and all to be stewards and cooks and slaves." After further deploring a state of things which dooms women to ignorance and frivolity, he expressesi " though rather vaguely, a hope for those happy days (if they ever shall be) when men shall be wise enough to reform it." The day that De Foe tried to foresee came at last, but it came very slowly. When our late venerated Queen ascended the throne, there was absolutely no provision accessible to the great middle or even class class, the above it, for the higher education of women- Repeated attempts had been made but in vain, to overcome the prevailing prejudice and lethargy. The note sounded in seeming " " phy by the author of The Princess was a signal to advance.

The fullest expression of the whig interpretation of western Canadian history is to be found in the works of George F.G. Stanley and W.L. Morton. In presenting a narrative reconstruction of the events surrounding Canada's annexation of Red River, these authors primarily attempt to justify Canadian policy as the extension of British civilization.

  • The Global Irish and Chinese: Migration, Exclusion, and Foreign Relations Among Empires, 1784-1904
    THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Washington, DC April 6, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Barry Patrick McCarron All Rights Reserved ii THE GLOBAL IRISH AND CHINESE: MIGRATION, EXCLUSION, AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AMONG EMPIRES, 1784-1904 Barry Patrick McCarron, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Carol A. Benedict, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation is the first study to examine the Irish and Chinese interethnic and interracial dynamic in the United States and the British Empire in Australia and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Utilizing comparative and transnational perspectives and drawing on multinational and multilingual archival research including Chinese language sources, “The Global Irish and Chinese” argues that Irish immigrants were at the forefront of anti-Chinese movements in Australia, Canada, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth century. Their rhetoric and actions gave rise to Chinese immigration restriction legislation and caused major friction in the Qing Empire’s foreign relations with the United States and the British Empire. Moreover, Irish immigrants east and west of the Rocky Mountains and on both sides of the Canada-United States border were central to the formation of a transnational white working-class alliance aimed at restricting the flow of Chinese labor into North America. Looking at the intersections of race, class, ethnicity, and gender, this project reveals a complicated history of relations between the Irish and Chinese in Australia, Canada, and the United States, which began in earnest with the mid-nineteenth century gold rushes in California, New South Wales, Victoria, and British Columbia.
