Asa geLtraI tlirg, the Canadian government has

more hste nfion has been paid to the subject, and
provision is nov made tor giving every cuid in tue

province ID divided into school sections or districts,
az IN New York, with boards OF trustees, and

or Catholics, or cOleIed ptop.e, are unwilling TO
send their children to the public section ,hools
or are dissatisfied WITH the disc pine manner of
teaching. therein, application may be made in
whiting BY twelve or mc,e heads of families
10 the Mnnc'pal council Ct any township,
or of the bard of school trustees of any
city, town or II corpcTatad village, for the estab'
lishmens Of separate school, No Catholic separate
school ahsll be establrntd In any schoo! division,
except when the tescber Of the regular district

still very few localities avail themselves OF II, for in
al Upper Canada, to which thsso school laws apply,
there are cut ffyone separate schools in toe Thoe
province, and those about equally divided bet ween
Piok slant and Catholic 20 that this provision of
the iaw, as Mr.. Ryerscn, Superintendent, remarks,
lis seldom acted upon, except in extreme cases,
ard is Of little consequence for good or Cor
evil the Law providing effsctuai prats,-
tlcn against interference with tle religions
opinions and wishes of parents and guardians,
ri oil classes, aod there bling DO probability
to come than taey have been in time past. A se-
psrate school Is entitled to no aid beyond certain
portion CT the school fund for the salary OF the
teacher. The schoolbouse must be provided, fur.
nleneO, warmed, OcOks procured, Ncs, Dy Tue ier-
sops petition,Dg for tie school, Nor are the pa.
irons and supporters of separate school exempted
from any Of the local assessments or rates for CON-
mon school purposes. The law provides equal pro-
,tcticn for all classes and denominations; il thsre
be any class or classes of either Prot sstauts or
Romsn Catholics, who are not satisfied with the
equal protec lion secured to them by law in mixed
schools but wish to have q school subservient to
sectional religious purposes they should Of course
contribute in proportion, and not tax whole com.
munity for the support OF sectaran interests.'
Had provision, something of this character been
inserted in the school law Of the State of New
York, Bishop Hughes and William II. Seward
might have established as many Roman Catholic
schools as they may have desired, and the Protes.
rants would have interposed no objections. But
thkn, no partisan agitation would have occurred,
and political psrtialities have been engendered.
