thursday sept 23 1971 the tribune page j editors mail equality the only answer dear sir i was disappointed to read your recent editorial charging the liberal party with making the separate school graint rejection an election issue as i have stated in past reports which i have sent you from queens park the separate school system we inherited is not disappearing we could force its disappearance by changing the con stitution or making it economically im possible to continue most of us wish to eliminate in some way this aspect of our educational system which divides youngsters on religious grounds however forceful persuasion results almost invariably in unfortunate conflict and retaliation i believe that only under conditions of grant equality can these two groups work ef fectively toward co ordination and co operation which will eliminate the religious division in our school system it is well over two years ago that the roman catholic separate school trustees presented a brief to the govern ment and the two opposition parties for the extension of grant support to grade 13 they pointed out that in 1965 the then minister of education premier davis had approved extension of grant support beyond stouffville fish chips fast tdkcour service stouffville pjaza 6401732 grade 8 to grade 10 they argued that with the new upgraded school system and with a much larger percentage of youngsters attending school beyond grade 10 this was the only way we could maintain equality of educational opportunity in our two publicly supported school systems nearly two years ago the liberal party and the new democratic party studied the question and announced their policy on the other hand the con servatives held off making and an nouncing a decision until two weeks before premier davis called the election which of the three is truly responsible for making it an election issue donald m deacon liberal candidate york centre fire prevention week will be recognized in whit-

sunset blvd separate school board conference govt grant rejection not political issue york cty rejection by the davis government of an applied grant program past grade 10 will not be made a political issue board representatives agreed at a separate school conference held recently in toronto eugene jacobs board chairman for york county reported that while every conceivable position and action had been mentioned the general feeling was that the decision should not become a political football it has been clearly stated all along he said this is a pedagogical issue not a political or religious one opinions of in dividual members varied however some trustees felt that premier davis by his timing had himself made the decision political fj hodge area superintendent said that in his opinion the question of aid to private schools should not be confused with the question of com pleting the separate school system he was optimistic that in spite of this setback justice would prevail dr wm r lacroix trustee for markham criticized the premier for not stating clearly the answer to the question do separate schools have a right to exist or do they not he noted too that board members had also failed to present the general public with a clear picture of the separate school stand he said most people did not know that the department grant for separate schools grades9 and 10 is approximately 550 while public school boards receive 1050 this is inequality he said john j mcdermott whitchurch- stouffville said he found it hard to believe that such a high percentage of people were opposed to ex tending the grant system through grade 13 for separate schools most trustees seemed to feel that the response had come mainly from those supporting public schools father fc robinson richmond hill said only 50 families or ap proximately 6 percent of 800 families in his parish send their children to public schools indicating their overwhelming support for the separate school program he observed that during the past year six provincial elections had been lost by the government in power mr davis he said may find that number 7 may not be so luckv for him paper drive the stouffville scouts and
