in the year 1877. In the Public School Act of 1877 it is provided "all schools conducted under this act shall be non-sectarian. and the Bible may be read in all such schools. and is hereby authorized, and the teachers are hereby re qulred to open the school on each school day with the reading of the Sacred Scriptures by those child- ren tvhose parents or guardians desire it. without comment. ex- planation or remark thereupon by the teachers; but no children shall be required to attend during such reading unless desired by their parents or guardians."

The School Act has been revised and amended on many occasions since 1877. The particular section quoted above has never been amended or repealed and remains section 146 of present School Act. The debates in the House of As- sembly of year I877 are available to the u of your commit- icc: one need only study these de- bates to realize that the School Act and this particular section did not please everyone in the year 1877. nor can it be expected to please everyone today.

public school act does not con- template I school which is staffed ,.cntirely by Roman Catholic Sis- ters. attended entirely by Roman Catholic students. and wherein religious instruction is given should be maintained at public ex- .pense. The law in this regard has i remained constant in this province ifor eighty years.

Your committee has been urged that there has been introduced into the operations of these hearings "I current of thought foreign to the very idea of this study" and that whatever the motivation. the mal- ignancy of this approach and its obvious subversion of the issues is an apppeal to old and supposedly long since forgotten religious in- tolerance". and that "we cannot but condemn this perversion of ideas in the name of so-called Christian non-sectnrlnnism."

It would appear from the fore- going quotations that the Alumin of St. Dunstan's University considers that the introduction of problems relating to the School Act is for- eign to the very idea of the dellb crations of this Committee: and

Act is based on old and long since forgotten . llglous intolerance. We submit that Section its of School Act has long since been forgotten by the Roman Catholic ' of this province and es- pecially in the nreas.of school districts heretofore mentioned.
