Three years ago a little com- pany of Trappist Brothers came out from France and built a monaqterv on 4 farm of 1,500 acres which Father Richer, of Bill of Rights No. 4 fame, gave to them. They cleared the ground of its scrub, laid offa garden and be. gan breaking This year they will har. vest 12,000 bushels of grain, and their garden is a sight worth seeing for the nurvellous quantity and quality of its vegetables,enough apparently to supply a town of moderate size. They have put up stables for cattle and for horses, of the most approved modern type ; a iamall creamerv; a henery with some hundreds of fowls; a piggery of the right kind, and they are building a large granary. Most of the work is done by themselves. As we drove up up we noticed the Father Superior, a French gentleman of distinguished family, at work in the garden, and our local guide informed us that he was the hurnblest, the most hard-working and the most accomplished of the hand.

With such advantages of soil, clim- ate, beulthfulnesst, how is it that the progress of Manitoba hm not been more rapid', There are various reasons to which I shall not at present refer, but there is one which the nature of my subject forces me to dwell on, Politics are responsible for a good deal, parti. cularly that kind of politics which is sometimes caliid paternalism;-and at other times unnecessary Government interference. This is a wide and invit. ing subject, bat I shall touch on only one aspect of it, tint, namvly, which concorns the schools of the Province. If Mr. Martin had been wiser'in 1890 he would hue beers tsatiatied with a less dramatic and studio: measure of re form thnn that which he forced on the tho Trovincinl Cabinet ; and If the Domin. ioit Government had been wiser in 1895, when the Privy Council “mien ed “alert-nee made to it, they would hue been "tistUd ith a more unpre tend§ng manage to “limb. “no the media-edit. Ty . I1tnytirytther, Waterloo County Chronicle, Thursday, September cousequence, the Province of Manitoba has suffered and i, likely to suffer still more before its school qutstio? in final- ly adjuswd. In "sying this there is no desire to reflect on the powers that be. It is easy to be wi,e after the event. But it must be said that I have met no one who does not condemn Mr. Martin’s conduct and Sir Mackenzie Bowen's remedial order. Neither is it meant that the Provmce an a whole is thinking much about the school ques- ty. Bu.t the scion] question u also in' the mind of a'most everyone, and you have not to go very far to come to it. So far as my own experience goes it is talked of less, save in a few circles in Mrirvtohts, than in Ontario, Quebec or the Maritime Provinces; but it would be a great, mists ke to assume that there is any question more, really vital to the unity ot feeling, the harmony of races and to everything else that makes for the true prtwperity of the Province. And it is provoking to think that this question, in its present position so ihrearening to the whole Dominion,waa unnecessarily forged upon Manitoba in 1800 from within, and is now being foreed upon in from without, with just as little necessntv. It may be said that -u.- --' C - tion at present. The harvest, the tem- peuvure. the prices, the questions of threshing and of transportation, these absorb the thoughts of the vast majori- we have only to do with the present and that, hygones must be bygones. That is a half truth, and half truths are gem-rally whole lies. We cannot understand the present condition of " fairs or judge fairly as to the present Mate of schools in Manitoba, without going back to 1890. There i? a. quar- rel oowond it is a fair questionto ask. Who began it? THE OLD SCHOOL SYSTEM. I Up to 1890, the school system in Manitoba was denominational. The Board of Elucation consisted of two sections, one embracing the Protestant and the other the Roman Catholic members. There was a superintendent of th Protestant and a superintendent of the Catholic schools. and these two were the secretaries of the board. Un- der this system the schools were, in my opinion, as well taught and managed as was possible in the circumstances of a Province so sparsely tsettled, and with the winters so severe that to this day, in not a few sections, the schools are closed from December to April,and -partly to make up for tGt-there is no midsummer vacation. There was no religious difficulty then,and yet reli- gious instruction was given to a less or greater extent in all schools. We are sometimes told that Protestants cannot agree on this 'subject. That is sdelus-' 1011. There has never been any ditii-, culty in the Protestant schools of Qutr' bee. There was nonerin Manitoba. I, might go further. Noiotsuperable dif-, ticulty has buen found in the mighty city of London in giving Bible instrue tion to the Board schools to Protestants l and ansn Catholics alike, there be-, ing, of course, a conscience clause, l though it is seldom taken advantage oi, THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS. l By Bible instruction I do not mean, ', on the one hand, dogmatic teaching,‘ nor, on the other band the more read- ing of passages from Scripture without note or comment, och as we h we in [ the Public schoofs of Ontario. A sec-‘ tion of the London School Boyd want- ed the former, but they have sustained aim is practically a defeat, And, as I think, wdescrved detest, at the hands of the Progressives. But the Progress- ives are in favor of Bible instruction, and there cm be no instruction of nei- ther questioning nor notes and com- ments are allowed. Children who hear verses read as a fetish will learn noth- ing of the, busts of the Bibledts history, eeography,biograplis or its literature. They may study every literature intel- ligently except that which is at the root of our own best language, life and _ literature, and the unintelligent read- . ing of portions of it is an effective way lot teaching them that the Bible is not intended to be understood How far this Ontario farce of Bible instruction is responsible for neglect of Bible read- ing in after life I shall not venture to _ say. Gm only concerned now with l pointing out that the supposed difiieul. ty of giving religious Instruction in fchools is rather theoretical than prac- tical, so far as Protestants are concern- ed at any rate. Of course when people are in a state of suspicion and irritation i there is difficulty. In those cireumstsur. I ces all education is conducted at a. dis- advantage. The moral is that there can be no greater iniury done to our schools than the creation in the public mind of either suspicion or irritation. DIFFICULTXES AND DEFECTS. l I do not mean to imply fora moment that the Manitobo who? system prior to 1890 was perfect. r was very far from that. It had grievous defects, and it says little fer the wisdom and energy of the Board of Education that no‘vig- orous efforts were made to remedy these. Here, as in many other cases, ultrtveomsereatUtn ‘bogpt radicslism. Let me give an illuotrstion of one of those defects. from the case of the school section in which I am writing this communication. It includes the whole township. sud therefore some of the Behold! have to walk more than three miles to reach the school.Y t 'iii whole will)" of new 'll1"lJIdll him Emeben erness instructing the children of one,l family, for the six were of different 1 ages, and there were three or four _ reading classes. It can be understood at once that the school tax in such a section must be pretty heavy; yet un- der the old law it was not permitted to levy a. rate on Roman Catholics in a Protestant section her on Protestants in a Roman Catholic section. This section has two Roman Catholic tami. lies, one of them owning a thousand acres. Under the old law he was as. sessed for a time by mistake, but the trustees received a lawyer's letter de. manding the money hack with interest The trustees could have exacted fees from his children, but as the fees would amount to much less than the rate.and as there is a strong public objection to chraning fees, no advantage was taken of this. The other ratepayers felt that the school was there, and that the more children who attended it the better for all concerned. Practically it came to this, that wherever there was a. mixed icommunity,wit-h the minority too weak to sustain a school of its own, the 'maiority had to sustain the school, so P" as the specialtownship tax was con. Icerned. This would have been bed enough had the population been as 1dense as in Ontario. But where the majority in the section often numbered lonly half a dozen families or less it Was [ intolerable. l It is alleged that most of the Roman Catholic schools under the old system lwero badly managed, badly taught, l badly inspected, and that no serious at- ltempt was made to teach English in lthem. Even if these allegations were true, and that is a very large supposi- ltion, two or three questions remain to be put. First, are not poor schools lbetter than poorer, and are not the lpoorer better than none at all t As a 'mstter of course, they have been poorer l since 1890,beetruse they have been star- lved ; and now I understand that many jot them are to be closed altogether for lack of funds. I have already seen the spectacle of-school houses with the lwindows boarded up and a sorry spec- tacle it is, especially when it is made in the alleged interest of a 'national' system, Sydney Smith defined the Irish 'Church as ‘a church not for the Irish (people.' If 'mstiousl' schools are not co-extensive with the nation, they must ;come under a portion of the reproach THE CHANGE TOO RADICAL. There is no need, however, to burn a house down in order to taste crackling. There was surely enough common sense in the Legislature of Manitoba to wipe out the absurd law that G no case shall a Protestant ratepayer be obliged to pay for a Catholic school or a. Cath' olic ratepayer for a. Protestant school , So with other defects in the old law- such an insufficient inspection, the em- ployment of ilquelified and non-cer- tilitusted teachers, the unfair distribu- tion sf the school taxes levied on cor~ porstions, and possibly one or two oth. er minor defects. Any Government proposing to remedy these would sooner or later have been sustained by the common sense of the people. lwhich led to the disestablishment of the Irish Church. Secondly, was there any possible way of making the alleged poor schools better, save with the hear. ty concurrence of the people? l nxscnxrnsr or THE CATHOLIC8. i Now, far from gaining the concur- ‘rnnce of the people, the native halt. ihreeds, the immigrant French, the im rmigrant French-Canadians and all who llook to the Roman Catholic Clergy for Ilight and leading have been alienated. lA sense M injustice, with all the bitter l feelings connected therewith, has been lengendered in natures naturally sensi- 'tive and generous. This is is the re- lsult of legislating without regard to lthe facts of the case and of supposing that laws will execute themselves. The |Government has no power to initiate schools. All that powet is in the hands lot the people, in the townships and lumnicipalities. To render them hostile to a school system is really to make education impossible, Thirdly, in cow damning schools ought not the cireuar stances of the case to be taken into consideration? It is not easy to teach people who have, as yet, no great sp- p'eciation of the advantage of educa- tion, end it is not easy to teach Eng- lish to children whose parents believe their own language and literature to be decidedly superior, and who still cherish the notion that there may be a French-speaking nation on the conti- nent of America. The notion is pre- posterous, but the only woy of treating ‘it is by ignoring it and allowing it to ‘die out of the minds of those who en- tertain it on what seem to them guffi, cient grounds. Petty persecution, or what seems to them persecution, will only cause it to take firmer root. POSITION or THE CLERGY. Instead of then charging the Roman Catholic clergy with being Indifferent to education, we should remember the diffieultiet, which they have always bad to encounter in the Northwest. They were to I. large extent the pioneers of religion, civili'ntion end eduontion in the country, end their people ere not likely to forget it not to be ungrateful to than. Attacks on them from with. out will only strengthen their power. and the more thoughtles- nnd unjust Wows)“, the more will their ters.tanmiiotss a; golden rule in connection with all such cases. Whatever power the clergy of my denominstion hove in the present day, they hove it solely in virtue of their peoplHs belief in their goodness, their disinterestedness and their wisdom and the people themselves are left to findout whether or no they nreinfsllible. What is happening in Ontsrio and Quebec now shows clearly that when) the clergy ere opposed to what the Peo' ple believe to be the interests of their' children, the clergy will give. Way or something will break. Who insisted, two years ago, on getting good teachers into the Separate Schools of Kingston, 'but the. Roman Catholic leity, with the result that, at this year’s entrance ex- amination to the collegiate institute, the second,third and fourth places were taken by pupils from those schools'l Who are now insisting in Ottawa on geetting good teachers into the Sepa- rate Schools but the Roman Catholic Iaityt They will get their way, too, PO matter what the Archbishop or the Chri-tiun Brothers may think of their attitude. Who are pressing for reforms in the Roman Cstholic Schools of Que- bee now but distinguished Roman Cath- olic laymen, school inspectors and oth. ers -well acquainted with the actual state of Mining? It may take a long ,time to get reforms in this way, hat l there is no methpd equal to the slow md sure. l I have then very little doubt that many of the Romm Catholic Schools in Manitoba, prior to 1890, were about as poor as they could be, looked at from an intellectual or eitiztm'e point of view. The proofs of that are writ large in the present comparatively un- educated condition of the people, as well as in their inability to speak Eng- lish. The opposition to the proposal that trustees of schools and municipal councillors should be able to read and write was tsignifhmnt, Equally signi- fieant, I may remark was the futility of enacting the law. Asking the Secre- tary-Treasurer of a French municipali- ty the other day whether his council- lors were able to come up to the re- quirements of the law, I received in re- ply only a gentle smile. 'But,' I re. sponded, 'how do they get over the [ law I' 'Well,' he slowly replied, 'you see, it is quite easy for a man to learn to write his own name, and, having done so, it isjust as easy for him to read it.’ But notwithstanding all that can be said on this side, good work was done in many of the echoo s. Ridicule has been cast on the character of some of the questions on which Candidates for teacher's licenses were rxamined, but it is forgotten that those questions are picked out from the paper on reli- gion, and that as the schools were, at that time, frankly denominational, the questions were necessarily such as Roar an Catholic teachers might fairly be asked. Good work was done for gen- erations in the pirish schools of Scot. land, but the teachers had to be Pres- byterian and had to know the Shorter Catechism, I have no doubt that some of the questions put to them, or put to their pupils, when the Presbytery of the bounds examined theschools,wouli have sounded very ridiculous in Roman Catholic ears.

It seems to me then that the Pro. vincial Government, of Manitoba in 1890 made a great mistake in summar- ily abolishing, instead of reforming,the old school system. They have been at war ever since with the prejudices, the feelings and even the religious convie. tions of a section of the population that deserved to be treated with the utmost consideration. They believe that the war would end it it was not supported from without, but on this point I venture to disagree with them. It will end only when they make con. cessions, which to the mass of the peo- ple interested, seem reasonable, and the sooner these are made the better. A Government is unwise which arrays a permanent force against itself, and at the same time so easily aroused, as religions conviction, or-it people pre- fer the word-religious prejudice. In the same way, it seems to me that the Federal Government is making a mis. take in arraving against itself another permanent foremaud one which appeals less or more, to every man, woman and childin the Province-I mean the senti- ment of Provincial tself-government, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, in the course of his first Parliamentary address as Con. servative leader, on April 22, said _ ‘I hope sincerely that the people of Manitoba may see their way clear to settle this question among themselves. . . . If the people of Manitoba are patriots they will keep this question out of the arena of Dominion politioa.' Permit me to point out respectfully that the people of Manitoba have had no opportunity since the last decision of! the Privy Council was given to ex- piiess their views on the subject, but. that the Federal Government has thfovn it into the arena of Dominion politics, Ind has thus aroused . state of Provinci feeling which make. it al. nar-t in uible to diacuu the question An Ir. m .36- an -M-uu.
