§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E.)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Education if he will state, for general convenience, the system in Canada under which rates are allocated for educational purposes to public and denominational schools.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION (Mr. MCKENNA,) Monmouthshire, N.I have drawn the attention of the High Commissioner of Canada to various points of importance essential to an understanding of the system of separate rating which were not explained in the general outline of the educational systems in Canada contained in Vol. IV. of the Special Reports on Educational Subjects, published in 1901. The High Commissioner has kindly undertaken to request the Provincial Governors of Quebec and Ontario 945 for the requisite information and I am awaiting this reply. I hope that facts ascertained will enable me to lay a Paper on the Table in due course.
