"In "31841, two provinces of Canada were equal- {ly divided along religious lines. In ll view of this fact ome province was | overwhelmingly Roman Catholic and || the other province was just as over- {whelmingly Protestant. In view of {this fact the statesmen looked "with | apprehension on union, | "They came together in an agree- l' ment that no goverment Measure would be put through (the: united parliament without the approval of a majority from the proyince to It was referred to in the records of that time as the 'double majority." Now that agree- ment insofar as Lower Canada was lived up to, but 1 want to show that insofar || as Ontario was concerned it was not. "Following the Baltimore confer- ence in 1858 there were about 100 separate schools in this 'province, In 1860 the Senator, Scott resolution would sell on gasy terms.

Again in 1863 he presented his separate suhool bill which he called the final- ity act, because it was supposed to be final, as far as separate schoold were concerned. It carried in 1863, but I want to point out that three fifth of the Ontario representation re- corded a vote against it, Ignored People's Will.

Separate schools were forced upon the province against the will of the people, as ex- pressed by the mujority of their re- presentation in parliament, Ryerson obtalned the assurance for Senator Scott that 'the Roman Cath- clic church would accept this as the firal settloment, and Vicar-General Cazeau of Quebec and Vicar-Genersl Angys Mc, d of Ontario accredit- ed representatives of the Roman Catholie church also gave this as- surance, gvith authority to speak at that time, "They ae representatives of the church agreed to the aot of 1863 as final settlement as far as Ontario is concerned. The bill was put through by" the government, thereby giving the sanction of the government at the time as a final settlement.' Dr. Edwards gaoted Hon. George Brown as stating at that time that the settlement was to be final. He also quoted Thomas D'Arcy Magee, noted Statesman and a Roman Oath- olic at that time as saying, "I think they ought to be satisfied. I will be no party to re-opening the ques ion, " Act as s Accepted. "The act of 1863 on which Bishop Fallon bases many of his claims was the population of the | Dr. by the separate school act of 1863, and the constitutional guarantees of | nothing i 1867, 'nothing. mére and less.' "Let us then take his lordship at his work, and proceed to determine the alleged rights, truth in' this controversy? Mani- festly the alleged rights must be found within the four corners of the act of 1863, and in the constitutional guarantees of the act of. 1867. 'Well, that is 55 years ago, and the alleged { grievances have reposed all that time, Bishop Fallon canmot quote any seotion or'clause of the aots of | 1863 or 1867, mor can be refer to practice or usage to justify his claim. Lauds National Plan. "I ask you, regardless of creed, right now in-reason, can you expect boys and girls brought up like that to work shoulder to shoulder for the benefit of this great country as-Can- ada should be? I weuld lke to see a national system of schools, where Roman Catholic children and Pro- testants could play in the same yard and learn arithmetic together. "Let them get education side by side," he urged, "and leave it to the Protestant clefgy and Roman Catho- lic priests amd parents to give the religious education, "We would have more united feeling in this country if we did. What is it that Bishop Fal- lon asks? That we shall not odily have separate public schools, but normal schools and I suppose 'techni- cal schools." Religious Teaching, In coneclusiorr I wish to state has mo right and should not attempt to teach religion nor hds #t any right to subsidize the teaching of religion The machinery of governmetit should not be employed to build and sup- | port denominational schools and de- | nominational school teachers aily more than to build and support de- | Without Q@etting Permission | nominational places of worship and denominational yreachers or priests. Why should the liberty of teaching. any more than the liberty of preach- ing by any religious persuasion be understood to mean the right to com- tarian teaching any more than places for sectarian preaching. Separate School laws are fundamentally wrong because they are a violation of that equality of civil rights which is the basis of free government. This has always beem recognized in the United States and the sooner it is recognized here the better for all concerned. *.

Angrove, "It is this: Ald Cohen doesn't pay for what he gets from the city. He has built a railway across two city streets which have not been opened, and he never got permission to do so." "I built the railway on earth that I filled in," retorted Ald. Cohen. "Thewstreets are underneath the rail- way." "I think we should charge Ald. Cohen four or five hundred dollars for the use of these streets for his railway," remarked Ald. Graham. "Well I would charge the chair- nian of the Board of Works with in- competence in permitting Ald. Cohen to build that rallway across city streets without permission and not .|kmow it until now," was the remark of Ald.
