one of the ]Ottawa, schools two female
teachers appointed under the authority
of the okiboard were replaced by two
others under the authority of the gov-
ernment comsrils.sion. The old teachers
have since been condueting .clasaas in
a etapel adjoining the school, while
tile new ones have cooled their heels
Iri the school proper, waiting fpr pupils
who -have not arrived. The polls, par -
• sent their, children to be. taught
by the -old teachers in the chapel rath-
er than submit to thie authority of the
commission. Thereupon an injunction
was obtained at Osgoode hall, restrain-
ing the old board from interfering
with the commission, and. also restrain-
ing the old, board's teachers from like
interference. Since, the schools opened
for the fall term a- month ago most
of the French; teachers have signed
contracts 'under the comrrission, agree-
ing to (observe the government's regu-
lations, but in other Ca498S the teach-
ers have refused to sign. The govern-
ment will net 'pay !such as do not sign,
• and may take steps to, enforce the
attendance of papils, who have follow-
ed the old teaohers to new quarters.
The injunction which has been grant-
ed is good until October 26th, when the
courts .are to take up a legal question
which . has been raised by friends of
fee old bilingual system, as to the
istatue Of the comrrAstsion appointed, by
the gevernment ,and as to the validity
of the legislation. under which the gov-
ernment appointed the coranie,sion. The
Ottawa men who are making this last
stand against the government are now
promising to test the law in an ap-
peal to the judical committee of the.
privy council in England, a ,step whiehi
would mean Prolonged legislation, if
-nothing else. It is norW intimated by
the government that if this step is
• taken the burden of cast must f all !W-
on the men whlo are making the fight.
,other words, the -government feels
,sure of its position, both from the
educational and from-. the legal view-
point, ,and sees no reason for sending
a' test ease to the privy council. In
Ottawa, where the battle 'is being wag-
• ed, the feeling in the little ,group of
bilingual enthusiasts is very bitter,
and they ,have even hinted of riots.
Prominent indications are that the
!scrap will be kept up indefinitely, Tha.
old board will certainly not give up
while there remains a card to be
played, while on the -other hand the
'government is equally determined to
bave the regulations observed. The
government will win eventually, but
there will be another round or two.
