Excerpt from James Melvin: Rector of the Grammar School of Aberdeen
Inside were simple enough. Each of the four oblong class-rooms had a raised desk for the master in one angle, and two rows of factions as they were called wooden seats, with narrow sloping writing benches in front of them - along the two sides of the oblong, so as to leave a free passage of some width in the middle for the master, when he chose to walk from end to end. Each faction was constructed to hold four boys, so that the look of a full class-room was that of a company of boys seated in two parallel sub-divisions of fours along the walls. In the public school, where meetings of all the classes together took place for general pur poses, the main desk, a wooden structure of several tiers, was in the middle of the long side of the oblong, immediately Opposite the main door, and there were four sets of somewhat larger factions.
