Proposed Amendment. Beller Exploded in a Shoo Ottawa, March 2O. -The proposed amendment to the educational clauses of theautunomy hills in substitution for the clauses as first introduced, are as follows: - Section 1) of the B. N. A. Act, 1837. shall apply lei the said province, with a substitution fur sub -section 1 of said section 93 of the folio wing sub -section: (1) Nothing in any such lacy shell Prejudicially effect any tight or priv- ilege with respect to sep:u•ato welt ,i - which any class of persons have at t n. date of the passing of this Hel, under the terms of chapters 2) and 3) of the ordinances of the Northwest Terri- tories, passed in the year 19I11. (2) 1n the appropriation by the leg- islature or distribution by the govern - ment of the Province of any utou••y for the support of schools organized and carried on in accordance with said chapter 29 or any tact passed in amendment thereof or itt substitution therefor, there shall be no discrimina- tion against schools of any class des• cribed in the said chapter 29.

"at the union" is employed in said sub -section 3 it shall be held to meet' the date at which this act comes into force. This amendment is a conlprouniat• between the government and the 1.it,- erals of the \`'est, and the autonouty bill, with the modified separate schot•t clause, was brought up in the Ions. on Wednesday for its second reading. Briefly the settlement is this: Separate schools are lrupt-ed on the new provinces for all time. The mit- ority retains the right of r- .f-taxatio:. for separate schools, and it is entitl M to a rateable share of public lands and money- for the support of its schools, 1 provided they are managed in accord-, ance with government regulatiouv-, that is, the schools must submit to government inspection, they must em- ploy regularly certified teachers, they must confine religious teaching to tit- half hhalf hour between 3:30 and 4 o'clock, and they must allow such pupils as so desire to absent themselves during this , half hour of religious teaching. Toronto Citizens Protest. Toronto citizens, Conservative and Liberal alike, at a Mass Jlecting held in the Massey Hall Monday night pro- tested against the school clause of the Autonomy Bill by the following reso- lution, moved by Mr. D. E. Thomson, seconded by Rev. Dr. Milligan, Hud I carried unanimously: - Whereas it is of vital importance to 1 Canada that the new Provinces about' to be established shall be left free to shape their own educational policy in accordance with the needs of the; future, as these shall develop; Be it therefore resolved, that this 1 meeting emphatically protests against 1 the enactment of section 10 of the ' present Autonomy Bilis, or tiny other provisions inconsistent with their con- stitutional freedom in this regard; Be it further resolved, that, since the electors have had no opportunity to ptaSS upon the principle embodied 1 in the school clauses of the hills nosy before Parliament, the Government ' should • (a) Abandon the clauses ; or (h) Appeal to the country on the measure ; or (c) Defer action entirely until after the next general election.

The one argument that wins every woman in favor of ROYAL HOUSEHOLD FLOUR is, that it never fails to turn out the most beautiful Bread and Cake and the most crisp and delicious Pastry when used according to the very simple ''Royal Household" recipes. That one fact out- weighs all the theories of two thousand years. No other flour has ever Tilade so many intimate friends among Canadian women in so short a time.—Perhaps it's because "Royal Household" is made by the new electrical process—that makes a wonderful difference in flour. Your grocer sells "ROYAL HOUSEHOLD" and you can have the recipes by simply sending your name and address to The Ogilvie Flour Mills Co., Limited, Montreal, and mentioning the name of this paper. h Orf IJ avid gusintscadt Each pupil is given in- dividual instruction.
