Your motion was a mongrel Froduction of ideas, sometimes claimed by the Tories and sometimes by the Grits, but neyer stuck ta by either of thein. We want a policy here that gives the majority Aihat they want, and then we can stick to it ail the time. That is equal rights.

Chairman Long said that having thus discharged ourselves ai the busi- ness braught before the meeting thus far in an equitabie manner, and quite satisfactory ta everybody, he would naw give the boys a littie enjayment for a few minutes.

The chairman-Oh, I see. M Woodruff is right. In j egard ta h questian I may say that I am oppos( ta separate schoohs, ar any oth, schools where any religian is taugl except equal rights, which means, as said befare, that thern that has ti rnost vates can have what they want.
