of ontario and against the action of the stouffville board of education for agreeing to place the subject on the curriculum of the local school rev duncan macgregor of the stouffville baptist church filed the following letter with the board i wish to register my protest placing on the curriculum of the public school the subject of religion i do so for a number of reasons the chief of which are that first these are public schools and second it is not the duty of the state to teach religion while i am most sincerely convinced that the christian religion is the only true religion i am opposed to the teaching of even this religion in our public schools public school is just that not a protestant school nor yet necessarily a christian school toymaker stouffville paul simpson a toymaker
