Cataraqui, March 27.--(To the Edi- tore.: In his recent letter to your paper, | John Fc undertook to justify the school conditions on Howe Island, and I have no doubt he succeeded in con- | | vincing himself at least that there are | no just or reasonable grounds for com- | plaint on the part of the Protestant re- sidents there. Let us suppose condi- | tions were reversed. Let us suppose all {the people on the island were Method- ists with the exception of four or five Roman Catholic families living at some distance from each other: Let us sup- pose the Methodists having concluded that Methodist doctrine should be re- gularly taught in the schools, should say to. their Roman Catholic neighbors, "You can have the dilapidated old school houses which y6u helped to build (@nd do what you like with them, but we have decided to have schools where the atmosphere will be distinctively Pro- testant and where Methodist church doctrine will permeate the whole course of study." What would the few Ro- man Catholics say to that? What would their bishops and priests say? What a howl would be raised against such manifest injustice and disregard of fair play and how the welkin would ring with denunciations of Protestant in- tolerance, bigotry and tyranny. Would Mr. Foley be willing to have his child- ren's education seasetied with Method- ist doctrine and the Methodist cate- chism dinned in their ears every day of the week and every hour of the day even if he paid no school taxes? I doubt if he wotild, and I doubt if he would be permitted to allow his child- ren to attend such a school by the authorities of his church: Mr. Foley should appreciate the con- sideration shown to isolated Roman Catholic families whose children attend the public schools in many rural dis- tricts and do so without hearing in the school a single . harsh word regarding their church or their religion and with- out having to listen to Protestant de- nominational teaching. That is the treatment accorded to Roman Catholics where they happen to be in the minor- lity. It is not so on Howe Island and | scores of other places where Protestants [are in the minority. Mr. Foley says that when separat» schools were established on Hqwe Is- land the public schools there (which as | I stated and repeat the Protestants had | helped to build) were handed over to {thé public school supporters. How wonderfully generous. Mr, Foley knows that the gift was worthless, and that, for the few Protestant families located as they were to undertake to maintain those deserted schools would mean an intolerable financial burden. That the Protestant children are forced to attend Roman Catholic denominational schools as the only ones available on the island," emphasizes the injustice and unfairness of thdse special privileges granted by the laws of the province to one class of citizens who are now clamoring for fur- ther concessions. Mr, Foley does not question the correctness of my state- ment that the legislative grants to the Howe Island separate schools in 1920 and 1921 were sufficient to pay the teachers' salaries and leave a surplus of $1,251.70, but he says "I want to add that each school section pays more mills on the dollar than does any 'school in the County of Frontenac." That sweep- ing and very positive assertion indicates either that Mr, Foley has an intimate knowledge of the rates of assessment of all the school sections in Frontenac or that he has become desperately reck- less in presenting his case. It would be interesting to know just why the sepa- rate school sections on Howe Island taxed themselves so heavily or why in- deed they found it necessary to tax themselves at all during the last two years when the legislative grants were sufficient to pay the salaries and leave them a surplus of over $1,251. Mr. Foley says the laws are "just and fair," and adds, "And I wish to let the courts decide it." Decide what? If the laws are "just and fair," what does he want the courts to decide? His bishops have denounced the existing laws as neither just nor fair, and I likewise denounce them, though on en- tirely different grounds. Mr. Foley concludes by saying that he has never heard any "public school supporter" on Howe Island complain, Of course not. There being no public school on the is- land there are no "public school sup- porters" to complain. There are, how- have just grounds for complaint, but who have no doubt long since conclud- ed that they might better suffer injust- ice in silence than look for redress in a province where special privilege to one class is claimed by those favored as a right and is accepted as such by those who, claiming for themselves superior intelligence and breadth of vision, are too weak or fearful to openly opp thewrongs inflicted hy clerical domina- tion, --J. W. EDWARDS. Prisoner For Penitentiary Says He Never Had Chance Everything was very quiet in police circles over the week-end. The police received no complaints of a serious nature, and no arrests were made. The only occupant of the police cells was a man named Drouillard, who was sentenced at Windsor to twenty years in the penitentiary for robbery. He was taken out to the prison on Monday fore: noon. | Drouillard seemed to be very much downhearted over his plight. He claims that ever since he was eleven years of age he has had to "shift' for himself, and that he never had a chance to make "Jack the Hugger" Again On the Job In Kingston Js would appear a3 if Yack she Hug: 3 ' i ee 5 Complaints nL shout a 'woman on Set LT ever, Protestants on Howe Island who | Turner Dies Victim FFF ---- Of Crossing Accident Alfred E.

In the First Baptist church on Sun- day morning, Rev. S. S. Bates, D.D, McMaster University, Toronto, spoke on the work of his college, which is the denominational school for the training of Baptist men and women. The speaker showed the development of this uni- versity during the past year and told of the wonderful training given to the stu- dents in attendance. Something of the ideals which governed the faculty was explained by Dr. Bates, who gave a very clear outline of the scope, covered by the university in preparing their stu- dents for life-work. Glad to Be Here Again. After the service at Queen Street Me- thodist church on Sunday evening, Rev. W. T. G. Brown, who was former pas- tor of Sydenham street church, went over to his old charge and spoke at the after service which was held in the Sunday school hall. Mr. Brown said he was delighted to be back in Kingston and meet old friends. Architect Coming. On Monday morning, Prof. Zufelt, superintendent of the Kingston Dairy School, stated that the architect employ- ed by the agriculture department to make plans for the new dairy school, would likely be in the city soon to look over the site where the building will be erected. It is likely that the remainder of the walls of the old building will not be torn down until such time as the contract for the new structure is let. Small Boy Run Over. Robert Wilson, Brockville, Ont., aged eight, is in St. Vincent de Paul Hos- pital, in a serious condition, as a result of being run over by an automobile in the first traffic accident of the season. It is feared that the boy may have a fracture of the skull. ilsonetaoinshrdiemfwyp g fg fg fbgbgg -- The Late Mrs. McKeown. Mrs. Marcella McKeown passed away at the House of Providence on Friday.
