THE "SIGNAL" AND THS BEPA•
BATE SCHOOL BILL.
A etwrctgoodent, whose good opinion
we value. intttdites that the Sigma/ has
:-emained silent on the subject of the Seps-
te School Bill, and the wrongs indicted
by it on Upper Canada. Our good friend
is mtetaken : the Jfg.nl did state in da-
ttneb terms its objections to Mr. Soott's
Bill, when it wee first introduced, and
before the Globe commenced its agitation
on it. And now that the thing has passed
its final eage,exoepting the signature of His
Excellency, we have not seen anything to
Mune us regret on account of our expres-
sion of " first impressions " with regard to
the infiueooe this Bill will probably exer-
cise upon our Common School System.
In our humble opinion it would be fez
better to exclude from oar system of
National Education every trace of Secta-
rianism, and by all means to render it
.rational in the strictest sense of the
term. The primary object of a Common
School should be, and generally is, to
secure to the children attending it as com-
plete a knowledge u possible of those ru-
dimenta of education which will fit them
for enterint; a higher seminary, or, in cane
of the harder working classes, prepare
hem for entering life with the machinery
for self -education, which, if properly used,
aunt fail to make the fortunate possessor
n intelligent and useful member ofsocie-
ty. And, we conceive that education the
teat which is calculated, to fit the child of
the poor as well as the rich man for the
station it must fill . in after life. This
requisite is met, and fully met, in the
Common Sobool System of Upper Canada.
If the farmer cannot spam his soon and
daughters from the field longer than will
enable them to master the breaches taught
in the Common School, he has the proud
atisfuction of knowing that they are
mmeasurably better equipped in this re-
pect than he was at the same age. At
least, such is the case in nine case nut of
ten. On the other band, the children of
richer or more ambitious parents have
ample opportunities, in the Grammar
Home. The late Government had faller de-
eel verily. the Militia Bill ens prepared by a
eommissioo who were totally idoonut of the c
sire rmeances of the eontry. The late Min. a
istry had loot the confidence of aHoare elect -
antler their own auspices; and in prof of
the liul.• esteem in which they were held in
the'lountry, he cited the election oI the pres-
ent Ministers unanimously, and the result of
the Uppers House eleuioes. He was sur
prised to hear Mr. J. A. Macdonald attack
members supporting the Guvernmeut fur the
course they bad taken on the question of
Representation •by Population. especially as
he had been more stroug;y nosiest the prin
eiple than he (the Premier) himself. He (the
Attorney Genera;) had only found faultwith
his friends ler lamming the matter prsma-
tnrel). Rut the member for Kingston ride

universal suffrage; yet he was the leader of e I
party three -tomtits of whom favoured that s
principle. Toe same was the raise with the
Derivate School ques.iou. A large lection
of the Conservative, w as against these schools,
yet their leader was willing torivgthe Roman
Catholics .anything they waetrd. The mein-
ber tor Kingman, had voted for Remesenta-
tion by Pupulation, yet he gnu that principle Sc

by means of Leaver Cauada rotes. Itchen be tlt
took office then he did oto by a eptiag the
whole policy of Mr. Hiecks, shicb he had rel
spreeriously denounced. TLe ubolitiou of the ex
fleryy Reserves was among the thins& he had
adopted. teut;h he had previously denounced
it. Then ibere was the Electi,e Cuuneil b
Bill, and also the !fill to register votes which oe
he opposed, and afterwards passed. The
same was the ase with the Seiguurial Tenure.

From what we have seen of the react
