The following is‘ an excerpt from a report of a special Board of Religious Education commit­ tee of the Church of England on the educational systems in the* ■Canadian Provinces; In British Columbia there is a negative im- pa^t”oriTth^pup il ‘n’m/regardT Tci' the whole matter of religion. There is required a revisidn of the. Philosophy of Education in sUch a way that, Without beccxm- ing involved in doctrinal dr de- nominational differences, it may givd to the pupil an appreciation and respect fbr the place which 5 religion /takes iri any -culture^or society. In Alberta the wording of the documents of the Depart­ ment of Education is so carefully neutral' that little more can be said than that they will bear a Christian - interpretation. They will equally well bear a human­ ist and even a communist inter- ipretation. The province allows religious exercises arid a degree of instruction, but for various reasons these are frequently dis­ pensed with and no use is made of the provisions for religious in- -struet-ion. Saskatchewan - -h-a-s -Bible -readings for schools, clef-gy- may give instruction with the permission of the ^trustees. Here ;theJBro.testanjL„denQminMi^JcL not as a r^le take advantage of the provisions. In the aims of the educational system, there is little which would offend a good humanist. In Manitoba the Only religious study is in Senior' High School in a book entitled, Bible Stories that everyone should know. Ontario is now breaking away from, the original plan of keeping religion out of the edu­ cational system/ Ontario is;in a • transitional stage. Tlie Hope Re­ port. had jdefinite suggestions. In Quebec there has” always been leligious. instruction in the Pro- testarit Elementary schools and in the , last 15 years in the High Schools. It is important to note the establishment of a Faculty , of Divinity at McGill University, In Newfoundland the schools rer- mained 'under the control of ’the churches and there are very few state schools, To summarize* w'e have inherited from English non-, conformity the fear of an Associ­ ation of Church and state. This separation has been-strengthened by the’ plague of our denomina­ tional ^differences.

PAGE THREE T THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE A young minister came up from the Maritimes and settled in Hur­ on County. He soon heard about the bootlegging that Was going on in his village. He also heard about the Canada Temperance Act? The flagrant bootlegging made him sceptical, about the Act. He has Jived in that village fqr three years. He has seen more than one bootlegger dealt with by the law? Now he frankly con­ fesses that his early, scepticism was unwarranted. Now he agrees ^at^e^ActthatTorbid^the^aie^ of liquor; iri, Huron County is sound. No matter what Act is in force liquor makes a nuisance of itself. Huron Coilnty is fortunate^. ■<*-. ----- — in that it .has been spared; the* by*/Bagheera,.
