D., April)l930. INTRODUCTION. I Angus or Forfarshire is emphatically a microcosm of Scotland. Its various and distinct features whether geographical, historical, ecclesiastical, or archaeolog- :ical, mark the county as peculiarly Scottish. Angus presents valley, rook, and hill. Through the heart of the county runs that fine expanse of fertile land, known as Strathmore, the big valley. The Sidlaw Hills separ- :ate Strathmore from Strathbeg, the little valley, through which flows the Lunan. The eounty is bounded on the north by the "Braes of Angus", consisting of the spurs of the Grampians,and the valleys that are formed by them: Glenisla, Glenprosen, Clova, Lethnot, and Glenesk. Nearly every glen has its loch. The most notable in Angus is that of Loch Lee, a typically Highland loch, guarded on three sides by high, heather or bare, rooky mountains. Other mountain lochs are: Drumore, Esk, Brandy, Wharral, and Stony. In the midst of charming scenery lie smaller lochs as, for instance, the circular Pitlyel/ I The old name of Angus was re-adopted by Forfar County Council in May 1928. "That it was known as Angus and not Forfarshire, up to 1654," says Lady Helena M. Carnegie "is indisputable." Scottish Historical Review vol. xxv. No. 99. April 1928, p. 158. In 1856 the Ordnance Survey adopted Forfarshire as the sole name. (ibid.) 2. Pitlyel Loch at the head of Strathmartine, and Lintrath­ :en, a picturesque loch which provides Dundee with its water supply. Close to the town of Forfar is to be found Forfar Looh, and to the east of the town there stretches a ohain of small lochs drained by the river Lunan. In Angus there is a fourth and maritime region whioh boasts of its sands, caves, and links, all of which attract many visitors in summer. As the geographical features of a country largely determine the lt fe of its people, it is natural that the chief occupations in Angus should be: pastoral in mountain and glen; agrioulture in the valleys; fishing and shipbuilding on the seaboard; industries and manufaotures in the towns. Though Angus has neither coal nor iron,it was, and is still, noted for its quarries. Writing of Angus c.l682, Oohterlony says: "The country aboundeth in quarries of freestone, excellent for hewing and cutting, especially one at the Castle of Glammes far exoeeding all others in the shyre, of a blewish colour; excellent in milne-stones; great abundance of sklai t and lymestone in divers places; ane excellent lead myne in I Glenesk, belonging to the Laird of Edzell". 1 spottiswoode Miscellany: a collection of original papers and tracts illustrative of the civil and ecclesiastical history of Scotland, vol.l. u.320.

The social, religious, and industrial life of any country is so closely connected and concerned with its Education that no historical survey of Education can be complete without reference to those events and movements that vitally affected the progress of its people. In dealing with Angus, then, we must briefly consider some of the important events that took place in the early his­ :tory of the county. History recordS that Angus was the scene of "old unhappy far off things and battles long ago~ In the year 685 A.D., Brude, King of the Fiats, inflicted a crushing defeat upon the Angles at Nectan's Mere. ident- :ified with Dunniohen, near Forfar. The defeat was dis- :astrous for Northumbria, then supreme of all the kingdoms: its leader was slain; its hopes and strength abated; the Picts recovered their·territory; and Strathclyde and I Lalriada regained their independence. For many a day Angus was to suffer from its close proximity to mountain fastnesses, and its seaboard and rivers afforded an easy means of access to the Danes. Hector Boece, the Scott- :ish historian, and a native of Angus, tells us that about the/ I Hume Brown, History of Scotland, 1909, vol.l. p.24. 4. the begi~~ing of the eleventh century the Danes inflict- :ed a severe blow upon Breohin, "vetus olim Piotorum oppidum". Their leader "in oppidum et sanctissimum templum ruit; quae ooede, ruinis ac incendns ita diruit, 1..\. I ut oppidum exinde pristinum decus nunquam rec~erarit". The Danes, however, were not always victorious. They met with defeat at Barry, and their leader, Camus, was 2 pursued and slain, whereupon a high stone cross, Camuston, now in the grounds of Panmure House, was erected to oom­ :memorate his defeat. Oohterlony in his "Account of the Shire of Forfar, c.l682", says that on the Links of Barrie there is "to be seen at this day great heaps of stones oasten together in great heapes in diverse places of that Links, which is said to be the buriall of the 3 dead there slain". The vitrified forts in Angus belong to this period and were built as defences against the Northmen. Fire was applied to pertain rooks as a means of fusing them into a solid ~ss for purposes of defence. Angus was also the theatre at many important acts during the War of Independence. On '7 .Jul~~~ 1296, "in oimiterio/ I Sootorum Historiae, Lib.Xl, Fooli. Boece, on the invit- :ation of Bishop Elphinstone, became the first Principal of Aberdeen University.

Three days later, "in aastro Breahinensi", Balliol surrendered all claims to the kingdom of Scotland "in manus venerabilis patris domini Antonii, Dei gratia Dunelmensis episaopi 'l viae et nomine diati domini regis Angliae". Immediately after the assassination of Comyn at Dumfries (1306), Bruae was absolved from guilt at Glasgow, and crowned King of Scotland at Scone. This action was practically ~ endorsed by alL the bishops, and when in 1310,a Council held at Dundee~formally recognised Bruae as king, there was no dissentient voice.

Hume Brown in his History of Scotland, vol.l. p.l43, has confused the dates of the renunciation of the treaty at Stracathro with Balliol's abdication at Breahin. Even if no dates were given it could be assumed that the renunciation would surely precede the abdication. 3 The deed of this Council runs in the name of eleven bishops. Hume Brown (History of Scotland, 1.156) speaks of it as a 'Provincial Council' of the clergy. Robertson (Statuta lxxii) regards it as a General Council of the Estates: Maaewen, A History of the Church in Scotland, v•l. 1. p.254 footnote 2.

  • Socio-Economic Factors and the Schooling of Working-Class Children Aged Seven and Under in Seven Areas of North London
    !IV -i- SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS AND THE SCHOOLING OF WORKING-CLASS CHILDREN AGED SEVEN AND UNDER IN SEVEN AREAS OF NORM LONDON, 1800-1851 NAIMA BROWNE Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Faculty of Education, University of London Institute of Education. 1990 ABSTRACT In the 1850s publicly-aided schools for infants co-existed with private working-class schools, some of which also catered for very young children. During the first half of the nineteenth century parents of infant-aged children could decide whether or not to send their child to school; if they opted for schooling they might then have had to make decisions about the type of school to use. This investigation set out to establish whether working-class parents' decisions regarding the schooling of their very young children were influenced by a range of socio-economic factors, and whether parents with certain life-styles were more favourably disposed towards the public infant schools than towards the much maligned private working-class schools. This investigation examined the school attendance of infants in relation to a range of socio-economic factors, which included parental occupation, whether or not the mother was at work, the employment and schooling patterns of older children in the family, the parents' religion and country of birth, the size of the family and the ages of the children concerned. The autonomy and independence of members of the working-class was acknowledged throughout the study by emphasising the parents' role in determining the pattern of their children's education. Seven small areas of North London were chosen for in-depth analysis.

LEXANDER FAIRWEATHER, at one time Merchant in Kirriemuir, afterwards resident at Newport, Dundee, about the year 1874, wrote this Memorandum, or History ; to which he proudly affixed the following lines : " Our name and ancestry renowned or no, Free from dishonour, 'tis our pride to show." As his memorandum exists only in manuscript, and so might easily be lost, I proprose to re-edit it for printing ; with such notes, and corrections as I can furnish. Mr. Fairweather had sound literary tastes, and was a keen archaeologist and genealogist ; upon which subjects he brought to bear a considerable amount of critical acumen. The deep interest he took in everything connected with his family and surname naturally endeared him to all his kin while, unfailing geniality and lively intelligence, made him a wide circle of attached friends, ! ; 6 I only met him once, when he visited Jersey in 1876 where I happened to be quartered, with the Royal Artillery, and where he sought me out.

The following chapters appeared in the pages of " The Scottish Chronicle " in 1915 and 1916, and it is owing to the courtesy of the Proprietor and Editor that they are now republished in book form. Their original publication in the pages of a Church newspaper will explain something of the lines on which the book is fashioned. The articles were written to explain and to describe the origin and de\elopment of the Armorial Bearings of the ancient Dioceses of Scotland. These Coats of arms are, and have been more or less con- tinuously, used by the Scottish Episcopal Church since they came into use in the middle of the 17th century, though whether the disestablished Church has a right to their use or not is a vexed question. Fox-Davies holds that the Church of Ireland and the Episcopal Chuich in Scotland lost their diocesan Coats of Arms on disestablishment, and that the Welsh Church will suffer the same loss when the Disestablishment Act comes into operation ( Public Arms).

  • John Chassar Moir (1900–1977) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) John Chassar Moir (1900–1977) [1] By: Haskett, Dorothy Ciardullo, Patsy Keywords: fistulas [2] John Chassar Moir lived in the UK during the twentieth century and helped develop techniques to improve the health of pregnant women. Moir helped to discover compounds that doctors could administer to women after childbirth to prevent life-threatening blood loss. Those compounds included the ergot alkaloid called ergometrine, also called ergonovine, and d-lysergic acid beta- propanolamide. Moir tested ergometrine in postpartum patients and documented that it helped prevent or lessen postpartum hemorrhage in women. Moir also developed methods to treat tears between the bladder and the vagina [3], called vesico-vaginal fistulas, that occur due to complications of childbirth, and that cause urinary incontinence in women who have them. Moir was born in the county of Angus, Scotland, on 21 March 1900, the fourth and youngest child to Isabella Pirie and John Moir. In Angus, the younger Moir grew up in the coastal town of Montrose. His father was a wine merchant who owned a grocery store called William Moir and Sons. Moir studied science and German language during his education at the Montrose Academy in Angus. Moir studied medicine and received his Bachelor of Medicine (MBBS) and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) in 1922 from the University of Edinburgh [4] in Edinburgh, Scotland. After receiving his degrees, he studied abroad in Vienna, Austria, and in Berlin, Germany, where he continued his study of German, and at the Johns Hopkins Hospital [5] in the United States.
