Wn tiuebee the Protestant minority earrivs Om a separate school system of ite awn under religious control. Up to the last year of two the inade- quate revenues of the province allowed very little to be done hy the gov- ernment for the schools of either sec: tion of the population, and Catholic education was promoted largely by the devotion of cestain religious hro- therhooils ail the clergy, while the Protestant schools were either cruelly handicapped by poverty or maiutain: Ly generous self-taxation on the part of the people. One result of this system has been to induce great pri nerosity on the part of the millionaires of the province, such as that by which Sir William Maedonald established. the Macdonald college, the model arvicultural training school of the world and one of the finest institutions for training teachers on the Amefican continent. In the last two yeurs the government has been abl» to make somewhat more generous crdnfs. to the poorer schools, but the state of Protestant education in many parts is still unsatisfactory es- pecially as some of them are domina- ted, a# it is the case in Montreal, by incapable men.
