The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 31

From Archibald McTaggart, Head Master, Martyr's School, Glasgow. Glasgow, 1st February, 1862

From Archibald McTaggart, Head Master, Martyr's School, Glasgow. Glasgow,

I can speak with assurance of Miss Hay's qualifications as a Teacher. During her two years attendance at the Glasgow Established Church Normal School, I had ample opportunity, as Master of the Initiatory Department, of observing the results of her Teaching; and these in all their details were of the most satisfactory kind.

On entering the Institution, Miss Hay was well recommended, and her work there more than confirmed all that had previously been said in her favour.

It is perhaps not too much to say that, in the general management of the classes in trusted to her care, she excelled every female student then in training.

She was commended for four things in teaching—her constant application, her excellent tact, her judicious arrangement, and her ability to command attention and in the ordinary reports made on the Student's progress in the art, she was always favourably noticed.

It may be further stated that Miss Hay, not only acquitted herself well in the Practising Schools, but was also well spoken of in connection with all the subjects prescribed in the Government course of Training.

From these and other considerations, I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to Miss Hay's high professional qualifications, and can, with much candour, recommend her to those who may be able to advance her interests.

(Signed) Archibald McTaggart.
