LEGISLATURE. |

RR ORL LI ODI Turspay, April 15.

Debate on petiti of the school act resumed,

lien. Mr. Laird said that in any remarks he had made yesterday, or might make to-day, he spoke as a representative of the second district of Prince County, notas leader of the Opposition in this House. the Government had no policy upon this question, and the Opposition were notin a position to propose one, their duty was cons fined to finding fault with the Government. He had said that the petition contained a tundamenta! error, for if the public money were applied to the suppert of sectarian churches or institutions of any kind, liberty of conscience would be interfered with. The principle of taking the people’s money to pay lor religious teaching or church purposes, had been a failure in every part of the world where ithad beenadopted. It was the ‘ na- turai ani Divine right’ of the parent to direct the education of his child. Even the laws of the country did not recognize the child till he was twenty-one years of age [t was therefore the duty of the parent to |

educate his child, but if he deputed that duty to the State, the Government should see that it was done. The Government was above

the Chure ance, but the Church had no right to contre!

the vemporal affairs of the country. If pars

ents neglected their duty, it was the duty of the Government to step in, and that was the

case when the free eiucation act was passed.

The Government of that day, with the mu-

tual consentof the parents, undertook to do

what they and the churches had neglected.

If it was found at the present day that edu-

cation was retrogad ng ; if, as was shown by

the Scl.ool Visitor's Neport, there were 3,500 | children in Queen’s County who were not | attending school, then he held that the Gov-

ernment were censurable for a dereliction of

duty. Ifparents were allowed to evade the

law and Jet their children grow up in ignor-

ance, there must be « something rotten in the

State of Denmark.’ lt appeared to him that

the system was very defective in Charlotte-

town, fora system must be defective uniess

it was successful, and he held that the pre-

sent Government was responsible. They | were placedin power, and kept in power by

the 9000 petitioners, for their representatives,

with two exceptions, support: d the Governs

ment. They were therefore as deeply dyed

in the disgrace of the city schools as any

others, and they should ask themselves if

they were prepared to do their duty. How

were the Opposition to redress their griev-

ances while they suppoated the Government

ard kept them in power? It would not re-

quire a great amount of brain power lo de-

vise a better scheme of education for the

city, whereby the rising population might be

educated, the grievance redressed, and the

disgrace removed. !le would turn briefly to

thecountry. It appeared from the petition

that the spiritual head ot the Roman Catho-

lic Church claimed the right of directing the

education of his people; but if the State

were to make concessions to any one de-

nomination the interest of the whole would

be sacrifieed—the body politic would suffer.

it was necessary, for economical manage-

ment, that the district schools. in a mixed

population, should be ungectarian. Who

was to blame for inelflicient teachers or the

inefliciency of their salaries? The Govern-

ment had power to raise money and expend | it, and they should devise means to pay the | teachers a proper amount according to ability

and merit. The Government should take

the responsibility of doing so, and if they

would education would prosper. It was

needless to occupy the time of the L'ouse

with further remarks; but he believed that, | if there were 3,500 children in Queen’s Coun-

ty who never entered a school door, the ne-

cessity of compulsory attendanee was ap-

parent.

Hon. Mr. Strong said the subject had been so fully discussed in the Legislature and outside, and in the Press, that he did not consider it necessary to go very fully into it at present, but a petition so numerously sign- ed should be carefully considered, with a view of granting what was prayed for as far as practicible. He assumed, however, from pastorals, and otherwise, that the Roman Catholics were asking for more than what appeared in the petit.on—that nothing would satisfy them but such a system as was in operation .n Ontario or Quebec. Of course, asthe State had undertaken to educate the people, they had a right to apply to the Legislature to make the system as perfect as possible, if they considered it faulty. He had no sympathy with the remark that the petitions would receive more consideration if they came from any other Body than the Roman Catholics. As far as he was con- cerned the statement was not correct. The petition was not ob) cted to on the ground that it came from any one body vf Christians, and that another body had the majoriiy. (Mr. Laird—hear). it would prompt him to go out of his way to assist them it was that he was strong and they were weak (Mr. Muon —bear.) Man consisted of three parts, the physieial, intellectual and moral, and no system of education was complete which did not aim at the training of the whole man. Too often the physical part was neglected, and the mind was crammed at the expense of the health of the body. The whole man should therefore be educated, and the question which was now agitated all over the world was whether it should be done by the parent, or the State, or the minister ofreligion. He believed the system best adapted ‘o carry out the object in view was the undenominational system, for they could not teach religion without teaching the doctrines of religion. There were great varieties of opinion with respect to the doc» trines of religion, and for that reason the State could not meddle with the subject. The money paid into the public funds was the property of the State, and the money paid by one denomination could not be diss tinguished from that paid by another, there- fore it could not be taken to teach the doc» trine of one denomination. There was no doubt but the denominational system would bring ruin upon the country educationally. fle had not spoken to a Roman Catholic in his district who was anxious tu have the de~ nominational system introduced. The state of the city schools had been used as an argu~ ment for the introduction of the denomina- tional system, but it was nota sound argus ment. The system was not to be blamed for the state of the city schools. It was those who had to do with carrying it opt who were to blame. If we would look to other parts of the world for proof of the utility of denominational schools, we would look in vain. He had enquired in Canada last year about the denominational system in Ontario and Quebec, and found that it did not give satisfaction. In England it had been a fail- ure. Much had been said about carrying the Railway without the consent of the peo- ple, but this was a national, and, therefore, amore important question. He belleved the change, if it were bi sught about, would de- feat the object the petitioners were anxious torealize. His honor from Alberton said the time was coming wien the Dominion Gov- ernment would interfere in the matter; but taking the idea in the abstract he thought he (Mr. Reid) would be sorry to admit that the Dominion Government have, or should have, any right to interfere with the local interests of the Provinces. The rights of the Provinces were secured by the Imperial] Act, so that the General Government had no right to interfere in the matter. His honor the Leader of the Opposition said it was the duty of the Government to find a remedy for the grievance—that it was the province of the Opposition to find tault—to pull down, not to construct. He (Mr. Strong) thought he (Mr. Leird) manifested a want of candor, though he admired his speech in other respects. He (Mr. S.) would sup- port the Government as far as he thought they were honest and sincere. It was only playing with the subject to advise an overs throw of the Government unless he (Mr. L.) was willing to form part of a Government which would grant wliat the petitioners were asking for; but he would de just what the present Government were doing. (Mr. Laird --No). He would not provide denomina- tional ls or remedy the evils complain- ed of in the petition, and therefore he was only trifling with the question. He (Mr. 8.) admitted that the system required to be ree vised ; but to interfere with it implied a dis- solution of the House The policy of the Government, as far as he was acquainted with it, was, not to deal with the question till after the next general election. They Could not touch it without making a radical

praying for amendment |

It appeared that |

h: not that it was of more import- |

change, and neither the Government nor the |

Opposition were in a position to deal with | the question till they would go back to their! constituencies. He believed the present law might be so amended as to be ma le ellis lent. It had been said that the Methodists | of Charlottetown were rich and the Roman | Catholics poor; but the splendid buildings land the palatial resivences 0! the latter wer not an evi of pov The Methodists | had a col 1 Cha tetown, and the} Presbyterians contemp building one at Summers but he did aot approve of} eithe Ile would rather sce them take hold | fthe common school system and render it

believing the sectarian system would be de-

structive, he had made up bis mind to bean

advocate of the free unsectarian system

throughout the Province.

Hon. Mr. Dodd said that whether there was

| children educated in accordan | church, but they said ed them by the -present system of education. They certainly had equal rights with Protestants. Ifhe thought they had not, he would willingly support a measure to place them upon the same foots ing. Catholics were taxed for the city schools just in the same way as Protestants were taxed. In fact Protestants paid more than Catholics, just because they happened to occupy places of more value. The Metho- dists, as arule. did not send their’children to the city schools, but they had to pay the taxes. Very few parents in Charlottetown, in comfortable circumstances, send their children to the public schools. He freely admitted that great credit was due to the Bishop for what he had done in the cause

teachings of thei that right was den

lof education; but the Methodists had built | their college in the same way as the

Roman Catholics had built theirs. Only a short time agothey had subscribed £2,900 to pay | off a debt upon their institution, No doe trines of deligion were taught in the city schools, and therefore Cstholics and Protes- | tants were upon the same footing In that re- spect. He thought it was better that the State should have nothing to do with teach- ing religion. He did not consider the Act perfect, The taxes were unfairly laid on, He paid $16 school tax upon one building. In the country a man could have a good farm and only pay 6s, 8d.; and he could have a store upon it—perhaps at a railway station—and only pay 5s. The Government should pass a law to provide proper school houses in Charlottetown. At present they had to take any building they could get, and often the buildings were of the most misers able description. He considered that separ- ate schools were impracticable, and theres fore he could not support the prayer of the petition. There would only be another ses- sion before a general election, and then the question would be submitted to the people, He had many Roman Catholic friends for whom ke had the highest respect, and he would be glad to see the question settled to their satisfaction.

Adjourned till 3 o'clock.

Debate on the school question resumed.

Hon. Mr. McEwen observed that so far, the question had been discussed in a calm and deliberate manner, as it should be, He acknowledged the first proposition in the petition that parents had @ natural and divine right to direct the education of their children: still the petition contained a sophism. It was the duty of the govern- ment to conduct the affairs of the country according to the well understood wishes of the people, and while it was their duty to eduvate the peopie they had no right to teach re.igion , but according to the petition they should teach accordance with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. If the gov- ernment were to teach religion at ail, there would be a continued clamor as to what doctrines they were to teach. It was there- fore impracticable for the state to provide for religious teaching. Our school system had been well tested, and it has been found well calculated to accomplish the purpose for which it was intended, but it now re- quired amendment in some degrees. When the matter was fairly iooked at he could not see that the Roman Catholics had anything tocomplain of. He admitted that the scools in Charlottetown were a disgrace to the Province, and it was the duty of the gov- ernment to take steps to improve them. If both Protestants and Cathol.cs would set to work in a rightspirit, he believed there would be no difficulty in so amending the act that it would give general satisfaction Different governments were to blame for their apathy in the matter, and it the Bishop had gone to work with the same energy lo work up the common school system, that he had displayed with regard to his own schools in Charlottetown, there would not now be much cause for complaint. Denominational schools, which he looked upon the petition as as asking for, were impracticable in the country. The government had no right to recognize any denomination in the distribus tion of the public funds.

Hon. Mr. Balderson said that as he had expressed his opinion upon this question before, and as it was only an abstract ques- tion, he would contine himself to a few remarks. One thing asked for by the petitioners was that teachers coming from other covutries aud presenting. certificates might be allowed government support withs out submitting to an examination by the Board of Education. He considered it an unreasonable request. The petition said “certificate of competency from their superiors,’ and they were doubtless a | religious order. The preamble to the peti- tion said:—‘‘ The spiritual head of their church has declared “That catholics cannot approve of a system of educating youth un- connected with the Catholic faith and the power of the church.” He therefore under- stood the petition to ask for money from the public funds to teach the Catholic faith. Those teachers might impart a good secular education, but it didnot appear by the petition that they would be required to do so—that they would be required to teach anything but what they themselves con- sidered to be right. They were simply asking for money to teach their own peculiar tenets, Nodoubt there was great necessity for improvement in the Aet, especially in reference to Charlottetown. There was no power to assess for building school-houses in Charlottetown as there was in the country, and the consequence was that they had only miserable buildings. The schools could not be made eflicient without giving the teachers suflicient remuneration. If the Koman Catholics had put forth half the effort in endeavoring to improve the condition of the public schools that they had in trying to get Legislative grants, the result would have been much more satisfactory. The act required amendment, and if it were not amended soon the schoojsin the city would die of inanition. His honor from Alberton (Mr. Reid) said Protestants had no right to dictate to Catholics as to what sort of edu- cation they would give their children. Thoy did notintend to do so.

Hon. Mr. Reid asked if it was right to have money placed in the hands of His Lordship the Bishop.

Hon. Mr. Balderson said the petition asked for an amountof money to be given to schools over which the government had no control,

Hon. Mr. Reid denied that the petition con- veyed any such meaning. It only asked for money to spend as the Jaw required.

Hon. Mr. Balderson said there was ne such words as‘‘as the law requires,’ in the petition. It asked for money in proportion to the number of scholars taught,

Hon, Mr. Munn saidthe education of the youth of the Province was a subject which should be approached with great care and caution, and by discussing it freely they should be better enabled to arrive at a proper decision as to how it was to be done. If the youth were not educated now, in a few years the country would be ruled Ly an ignorant or unscrupulous set of politicians. It was the duty of the state to educate the youth of the Province, but not to give de- nominational education. They should legislate for the benefit of the whole com- munity, not for the benelit of a particular denomination. The Prince of Wales Coilege was net a denominational institution, and if any d.nomination was not satisfied with it, they hada right to establish one of their own, but the state would have no right to support it. He supposed that if the city schools were efficient denominational schools would not have been built. It would have been much better if all classes had united and endeavored to make the public schools more sufficient. He wouid not oppose the government in a judicious amendment of the School Act

Hon. Mr. McGill admitted that the petition was 0.e of great importance and should be calmly and dispassionately considered, but he agreed with the leader of the Opposition that it contained a fundamental error. His honor who presented the petition complained that the government were not doing their duty to the Roman Catholics; but it was the tery etge and their representatives who eot the present government in existence,and therefore if his honor had been “ wounded,” it had been in “ the house of his friends. If the coalition government had not fulfilled their promises to the Catholics, the oppo-

two years. Ifa judicious bill to improve those schools were introduced he would support it.

The other day an excited individual. with a carpet-bag in one hand, an umbrella in the other, and a shaw! hanging over his arm, accosted one of the street gamins w.th the question: ‘I say, Rob, which is the quickest way forme togetto the station?’ ‘Run’! was the Jaccnic response.

Yankee Towns.—‘ What's the size of this place?’ grdvely asked a New Yorker of the conductor, Just after the brakesman had sung out ‘ Ospe-li-ka,’ at a southern station, where not a house was visible among the pines except a rambling shed called an ‘eat- ing saloon,’ ‘It’s about as big as New York,’ was the ready answer, ‘but it isn’t built up yet.’

Dogs sometimes appear in august places. It is said that on one occasion, when Lord North, then prin minister, was addressing the House of Commons, a dog ran in, and jumping onthe table in front of the Speaker, began to bark loudly. ‘I see,’ said Lord North, looking around smilingly, ‘ that | am interrupted by a new member.’ The dog barkedagain. ‘But,’ continued the premier, ‘it is not in order for a new member to speak twice in the same debate.’

‘Well, my son,’ said a Detroit father to his eight year old son, the other night, ‘what have you done tosday that may be setdown as a good deed?’ ‘Gave a poor boy five cents,’ replied the hopeful. ‘ Ah, ah! that was charity, and charity is always right. He was an orphan boy, was he?’ ‘1 didn’t stop to ask,’ replied the boy; ‘I gave him the money for licking a boy who upset my dinner basket!’

Fat and Lean in Layers.—‘ Look here, Henry, do you know what makes these pigs look so lean?’ ‘Yes sir, I do; ‘I made them look that way myself, sir.” ‘ What! do you mean to tell me that you keep them from their feed, after my giving you orders to be careful and feed them well.’ ‘ No, sir, not exactly that; but you see I read in a book that the best way to feed pigs and make them smart was to give them plnty to eat one day, and nothing the next, as that is the best way to bring them up, and it makes nicer meat.’ ‘How does it make nicer meat, you young fool?’ demanded the now exasperated farmer, seeing that his pigs which he took much pride in raising, were being half starved. + Well, the book said to feed one day—that makes a streak of fat— and give them nothing the next day—that makes a streak of lean; and that’s the way I like pork.’ * What book did you learn that in?’ asked the farmer. ‘Why, in that old almanac that hangs in the kitchen.’ ‘Oh,’ said the farmer, ‘that’s so. There’s a good many things in that book; but hereafter | want you to feed them pigs as I tell you, while [ will attend to the reading matter.

Henry was surprised to find the table load- ed that day, and the farmer telling him to eat plenty. He did not know what to make of it until the next morning, when he was kept waiting for his breakfast until eleven o'clock, and could stand it no longer. so up he went to his employer and said, ‘I say Mr. Ww , ain’t we a-going to have any break- fast this morning ?’

‘Well—no I don’t think we will,’ replied Mr. W. “You see it says in that almanac that a pig inwardly is the same as a human being ; and I am going to try the same plan of getting a streak of fat and a streak of lean on my men so as to make them half-way smart. If they have all fat they wil! be too lazy. Don’t you think it a good pian, Henry?’ The next day the almanac was missing.
