Pope Issues an Encyclical on the Manitoba
School Question.
ROME, Dec. z~.-The pope's encycli.
cal on the Manitoba school question ia
published here. After recalling the re-
7igious history of Canada and eulogiz-
ing its scholastic institutions his holi-
ness expresses regret at the decisions
taken seven years ago in Manitoba rela-
tive to the Catholic schools and points
out the rights of Catholics, according to
the federal agreement.
The pope condemns a school system
based on religious neutrality, praises
the zeal the bishops have displayed on
the question; regrets that the Catholics
are not equally united, owing to
political passions, and admits that
the authorities have done some
thing to diminish the inconveni-
ences of Manitoba shool legisla-
tion. But his holiness declares this to
be inadequate and exhorts Catholics to
persist ina claiming all their rights,
though they must not refuse any partial
reparations obtainable, with the view
to reduce the perils of the education of
the youth.
The encyclical says that in the event
of these being unobtainable Catholics
should provide their own schools and
adopt, under guidance OF their bishops,
a programme OF study consistent with
their religion and all literary and scien.
