to use earthenware pots the other was to drop redhot stones into a sap trough such as those commonly used by the mohawks hollowedout basswood logs in the latter pro cess the stones were removed when

co brief demonstrates top di remier lrew the brief submitted to the royal commission on educa tion by ihe interchurch committee on protestantroman catholic relations was largely the work of prof geo a cornish ba the executive secretary of the committee it is usually referred to as the cornish brief the most outstanding feature of the brief is its exposure of the extent to which the roman catholic separat eschool system has supplanted the public school system in northern ontario 1 the ross appeasement policy of 1902 was bad the cornish brief shows that the betrayal of the public school in new ontario started in 1902 when the dying ross government passed section 21 of the separate school act allowing the first school in unorganized and unsurveyed townships to be a separate school instead of a public school ross was a partyfirst premier and minister of education 2 the ferguson appeasement policy 1927 was worse the cornish brief shows that this ross bid for roman catholic votes was outbid by the ferguson government in 1927 when the then premier and minister of education g howard ferguson nullified regulation 17 for say five years and enabled these illegal separate schools to be turned into frenchspeaking schools the brief shows that frenchspeaking classrooms increased from 3g2 in 1927 to s82 in 1928 to 984 in 1930 to 1074 in 1931 and reached 1471 by 1944 what a monument to the ferguson governments treachery it had been elected on a platform of abolishing french schools 3 the present drew appeasement policy is the worst of all the worst blow to the public school system was still to come in 1913 the ccf offered to pay from 5 to 70 of the cost of these and all other separate schools out of public funds mr drew outbid them by offering to pay 50 mr hepburn in 1915 raised the bid of90and premier drew then went up to 95 these three partyfirst votecatching premiers and min isters of education have sacrificed the public school in new ontario and many other parts of the province the cornish brief demonstrates clearly that the department of education should never be in the hands of a party leader the result has always been a sellout of the public schools and a new
