He is afrai4 this will eventually be to the disadvantage of the Dutch themselves. He writes: "Such a step (the establishing of our own school) would inevitably delay by a generation or two their integration into our Canadian pattern. It would mean the beginning of small and con- tinuing Dutch communities i an overshadowing Canadjan picture." We would like to write a few words in reply to these state- ments. The special s c h o o 1 we inean to establish in this communjty, shaill ot be a school with a Dutch character, flot at ail; but it shai be a school bas- ed upon our religlous convic- tions, and that is what will make it such a special school. Without rloubt this school will be open to ail children whose parents, and ail teachers who agree with our religious convictions with regard to the education and rear- ing of our children. If there be one thing "the excellent workers, first class dairy men, and generally good fellows"ý-whom Mr. Bowles is glad to call his friends-thjnk ;o be in a far distance. and want to be in a far distance, then it is exactly that whlch Mr. Bowles desires toi prevent, naniely, an Insular Dutch group within the Canadian society. On the con- trary, we desire and intend to become Canadians as soon as we meet the various requfrements, and wish te take an active part i aIl the activities that con- tribute ta the welfare of this, aur new, country - Canada; but only if these activities are not i con- flitt with aur rcligious convic- tions. Similarly, we want ta express these religiaus convictions pas- Itively in the educational pro- gramn of oun children. To my opinion this bas nathing to do, and neyer will have anytbing to do with a distinction: Canadian- Dutcb; but it certalnly does mean a choice, a choice na anc can deny, flot even if be. with- draws bimself from the scene on a sham-basis of n'eutrality. We intend ta explain aur ob- jective mare broadiy and pro- faundly in the near future and we would be pleased ta sec Mn.1 Bowles present at that meeting, in arden ta rcmove the mis- understanding whicb has arisen1 between bim and part of bis Dutch friends. Let us keep in mind that in Holland only about 30% of the children go te tbosej sa-called speciai schools. Yours truly, A. W. ScbQ.afsmag.
