WATERS, Robert, educator, born in Thurso, Caithness-shire, Scotland, 9 Nay, 1835. He came to Canada in 1842, and was taught to read and write by his mother. At the age of thirteen he was employed at setting type, and in 1851 came to this country. In this manner he acquired an education, and in 1862 he went to France, where, after working in a printing-office for a time, he began to teach. Subsequently he went to Germany to study, and gave instruction there in English and French for four years. In 1868 he accepted an appointment in the Hoboken, New Jersey, academy, where he remained until 1883, when he became principal of the West Hoboken public school, which place he still holds. Mr. Waters has published a "Life of William Cobbett" (New York, 1883) ; "Shakespeare portrayed by Himself" (1888); "How Genius works its Wonders" (1889); and edited and annotated "Cobbett's English Grammar" (1883).
