Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 1, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba Sue w ii Mau Tolm. From Trio Ontario teacher. Tie question of denominational ver Susun denominational schools is Ono that has Booi Biu orly fought in nearly ovary province in Trio Canadian confederation. It Lias Boon and is Yot a Suh oct of warm contort for among our neighbors across the Linos. Tho Causo of this appears to to in Tho fact that Many roman catholics Are at Variano with Tho Groat Lyo Zostant majority regarding Tho object for which schools arc established. Tho former regard Tho school in addition to the objects Given below As a Branch of Tho Church in fact Call it the child s Ami make Tho teaching of Tho doctrines of Tho i to Man Catholic Church an integral part of Tho Ordinary work of Tho school. Trio latter View Tho school As an establishment whose chief object is to impart secular instruction and to develop Trio intellectual and moral faculties. In Ontario Tho separate school agitation Fust engaged attention about 1840, and in rather More than the ensuing decade the legislature adopted As Many As five acts or Allec Ting the separate schools. But still existed and after a violent controversy the roman Catholic separate school act of was passed. In the coarse of a few years Tho act was de and a Bill known As Scott s amended separate school act Intro in Stio passed with modifications each time in 1mb i and Isu a and findly in 18o3. Agitation was again resumed in 1s65, but it appears to have been chilled by the following of or. Ryerson if therefore the present separate school Law is to be maintained As a Linal settlement of the question and if the legislature to ills it necessary to legislate in the separate Hal tool question again i Pray that it will abolish the separate school Law altogether and to this recommendation i am forced after having Long used my Best c-llort.-, to maintain and give the fullest and most lib Oral application to successive separate school acts and after Twenty years opt i once Ami superintendence of our common school since Isth a the question lain at rest in Ontario. Supporters of r. J. Separate schools Are exempt from taxation for Public school purposes and they Are vested ample Powers for the collection of their own rates. In Tho province of Quebec til h i much discussion the Law framed i so that the minority in religion in any municipality May dissent and Dis sentient schools the trustees ofom a schools having Trio Vuyo Powers the commissioners have in i Peot of common schools. Religious teaching is acknowledged As a distinctive feature of Trio Quebec in the schools that Are not roman Catholic pro ministers Are expected to give the religious teaching. In now Brunswick and Nova Scotia Tho separate school agitation failed to accomplish As much As in Ontario and Quebec but a Compromise was Ell eucled which if carried out in Good Faith should prove Satis factory. In roman Catholic sections legally certified teachers of the Saims Faith Are to be appointed. Religious May be Given but not within Legal school hours. In new Brunswick i eng had run too High to admit easily of giving the Law a fair trial. During such season Strong assertions Are Apt to be made and Thev makers stand by them even at a Sacri fice. Rancorous by pres thu in gains and losers give unnecessary and sometimes unreasoning opposition. Quito recently Bishop Sweeney permitted the his Carriage to pay the common school tax As on the Catholic schools in town of Portland . Prince Edward Island was Tho next to undergo u severe conflict on this question. It was fought last year with great bitterness. The majority carried the a denominational system but the struggle is hardly Over yet As Tho school Bill is now Buforo Tho Lei Isla Ture. In Manitoba at the present time the Public question of greatest moment is whether the school system is to to denominational or at present there is a Central Board of education which resolves itself into two committees or Sec . Ono consisting of Tho i protestant Tho other of Tho roman Catholic members there of and the matters and things which by Law belong to the Council Are referred to Tho said committees respectively each com Mittee licenses own teachers and makes regulations for own schools. There seems to to great dissatisfaction with the arrangement. The views of the advocates of non sectarian schools have been Forth in nine resolutions unanimously adopted by the Winnipeg school Board. The present system has been defended vigorously in press and pamphlet within the present year and As vigorously opposed. Those who defend the system take Consola Tion in the belief that the change is Ultra Vires the provincial legislature and that Only the Imperial authorities can give such Power. The Twenty second Section of Tho Manitoba act declares in and for the province the said legis lature May exclusively make jaws in rela Tion to education subject and according to the following provisions nothing in any such Law shall pro .1 i affect any right or privilege with respect to denominational schools which any class of persons have by jaw or practice in the province at Tho Union 1 this Section is the same As that of Tho Antish North America act which Guaran tee. Tho Protection of the protestant or to Man Catholic minority in relation to Educa Tion except that Tho b. X. A. Act does not contain the phrase or and con Sequr Santly is less favourable to Tho separate school than Tho Manitoba act. U the other hand it claimed by the opponents of the present system that at the time of passing Tho above cited act neither protest Aiu nor Catholic possessed any or privilege in a technical sense. maybe Tho Case but it seems to us a hard position to maintain.
