SCHOOL QUESTION SETTLED.
Textures of Terms Finally Accepted
by the Manitoba Government.

OTTAWA. Ont. Nov. 20.-The Manitoba
school question. which has more than
once during the past three years threat
ened a disruption of the Canadian confed-
Grafton. has been settled on terms which,
it is believed, will be sufficiently satisfac-
tory to both side to put an end TO the con-
troversy. Following are the main features
of the terms of settlement which has been
accepted by the Manitoba government and
will be embodied shortly in an act of the
Legislature of that body: Religious
teaching is to be conducted in the public
schools % if authorized by a resolution
passed by a majority of school trustees:
(2) If a petition be presented to the board
OF school trustees asking for religious
teaching and signed by the parent or guar
dams of at least ten children attending the
school in rural district. or by the parents
or guardians OF at least twenty-five chill
dren attending school in city. town or
village.
School work of a purely secular charac-
ter will occupy the whole of the school
day, except the last half hour, when the
representative of any religious denomna-
ton will be allowed TO come i'm and instruct
the children belonging to his denomination.
provided the parents are willing TO have
them remain. In cases where the people
decide not to have this religious instruc-
ton. the regular school work will go on
until the close of the school hours.
lie pIONiSO THAT Is TO make the
schools acceptable to the minority is that
districts having an average attendance of
twenty-five Roman Catholic school chill
dren shall be entitled to have a teacher of
their own denomination, who must be fully
qualified according to p-~vincial national
school standards In districts where the
children speak French wholly. they are to
have teacher speaking both English and
French, so that they will learn English as
rapidly possible. The readers used in
such schools will be bilingua, so that chill
dren will grow up from the first accus-
toned to English.

eral OF the force and the appointment of
new men. though the effect of this remains
TO be seem The sticking point between the
Mayor and the underwriters in regard TO
the reduction OF rates seems to be the
appointment of a new chief. the under
writer's insisting OF the appointment of
thoroughly trained FIRE fighter from some
other city who would infuse new spirit and
discipline into the force. and the Mayor in
sistlng on retaining the chief who has just
been promoted from the ranks of the local
force. III the underwriters had replied to
the Mayors letter sooner or If the appoint
ment OF Mr.. Barrett had not been made be-
fore their reply was received, an under
standing might have been reached and the
desired reduction in rates might have been
obtained. If it were still an open question
the Journal would incline 10 the opinion
that new chief from outside would be
preferable TO one promoted from the local
force. who has never had any but the
stereotyped training that has prevailed
here. But IL is not an open question. The
Board of Public Safety or. rather the
Mayor, for doubtless the board simply
records his decision, have made the ap-
pointment without invoking public discus
sion. and this closed the case. Under the
circumstances. probably the best thing to
do is to give the new chief fair trial with
the understanding that IL he fails he shall
be removed. Meanwhile. insurers will prob
ably have to pay the increased rates till
the question of the efficiency of the reor-
ganized department. is settled.
