The subject of education is becoming
the great topic. of th daY. In Scotland

.
nal system .designed th. supe cede the
old parocluat• schools. Ontario is also
.engaged discussing. Dr. Ryerson's pro-
pOsals, -and Quebec has tinder 'conside:
ration the Ron. Mr: Chaveaa's scheme,
which contains pi ovations of a nature
calculated to do justice to a ministry
which for niany years has laboured mit
der peculiar disadvantages.
Those acquainted with. the school
system of 'Quebec are aware -that', the
Protestants of • that Province have al-
ways been obliged to coutriute to
the support of the estapliShed schools;
whether thoso schools were under the
Ramish Clerffy or not. .Non -se. cierian

-known. The new bill proposes to re-
medy thie, by providing, diet the taxes,
imposed ori Protestants, will in no
case be used for the support of Ro-
mish education, thus giving each sect
entire control over its .own school.
Although ° this measure ig far in ad-
vance of any yet preposed in Quebec,
it will in all probability semi . become
law, The Press supports it vigorous-
ly, and both the,Government and the
members of the 'House .seern anxious
that it should not miscarry. Its s•ic-
cess will not only be a great beton. to
those for whose benefit iteie; specially
intended, but it will 'also be a noble
step in the direction of that non -sec-
tarianism fer which Quebec is not par-
ticularly' noted.
