I J'g9'f:Ate Pe ML m, ,5. W3 Under various Canadian statutes, including Section 93 of the British North America Act, Roman Catholics are assurred of their right to maintain a separate school system. Beyond the usual curriculum of public schools, many Catholic parents feel the need to educate their children in the values and morales of a good, Christian life. Learning in a Christian environment is basically how separate schools pursue this goal. Few will challenge this right. In a country such as Canada, however, the spirit (if not the letter) of our laws grant not Just the right for Roman Catholics to send their children to separate schools - but the right of choice between separate and public school systems. Are Roman Catholics in the Borough of York allowed to exercise their right of choice or are secular and ecclesiastical laws in conflict over the issue? Some Roman Catholic clergy in the borough have created circumstances forcing parents to send children to separate schools by terminating Catechism classes, thereby denying first communion and confirmation to children at- tending public schools. Most are reluctant to accept the Catechism classes run by public- school parents. If the separate school system is to grow, it should be convincing Roman Catholic of its merits - not as a result of duress on the part of the clergy. And it must negotiate for more facilities with the local authorities and the Provincial Education Department - not by delivering ultimatums to the York Council. The issue of sharing or transferring school facilities, arising from the need to cope with high proportions of Catholic children in the com- munity, is a complex one. Not only could it have a direct effect upon local taxes and jobs within the public school system, it may have important social implications as well. If it is the wish of Roman Catholic parents that their children attend a separate school, then let us negotiate to provide accommodation for. them. If, however, those parents are satisfied that a public school education and Sunday Catechism classes equips their children to be good Catholics and good citizens, then the clergy and the separate school board ought to respect that decision or stand accused of interfering with a fundamental privilege of all Canadians, the right of choice.

Apparently Dr. Hastings knows what is needed and he proposes in his new regulations to try and get is accomplished. It is desirable that some regulation should be formulated against overcrowding and more. especially against standing between seats in open cars, but how can such be inforced? It will be difficult to get a clear un- derstanding of how the rules are to be enforced.
