REPORT NO ISBN-0-7729-0630-0 PUB DATE 85 NOTE 39p. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Catholic Schools; *Educational Finance; *Educational Legislation; Elementary Secondary Education; Foreign Countries; *Parochial Schools; Private Education; *Private School Aid; State School District Relationship IDENTIFIERS Canada; *Ontario; *Separate Schools (Canada) ABSTRACT Separate schools were introduced into Ontario between 1841 and 1867 when Upper Canada was joined with Lower Canada to form the United Province of Canada. The school acts of 1841 and 1843 outlined the basic arrangements by which either a Roman Catholic or a Protestant minority might establish a dissenting separate school board. Since the School Act of 1863 (usually referred to as the Scott Act), the separate school question has focused on two major issues: (1) the appropriate division of tax monies between the public and separate school systems; and (2) the involvement of separate schools in secondary education. The Tiny Township legal case of 1926-1928 resolved that Roman Catholic separate schools had no automatic constitutional right to offer the full range of secondary education. Subsequent Roman Catholic campaigns for full funding of secondary education have taken a political rather than legal route.

  • Introduction
    backhouse 02text (xi-322) 4/22/04 4:06 PM Page 3 INTRODUCTION Y about to meet Mrs. Elizabeth Bethune Campbell, a woman of formidable intellect, wit, and sarcasm, with the determination of steel. Her book, Where Angels Fear to Tread, written in and self- published in from her home in the rectory of St. John’s Episcopalian Church in Jamaica Plain, Boston, raised considerable controversy when it first appeared. Mrs. Campbell’s fascinating entan- glement with the law spanned fourteen years. It began in , when she first came across an unsigned copy of her mother’s will while sort- ing through musty family trunks. The saga peaked in , when Mrs. Campbell appeared on her own behalf to argue her case in front of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London. The legal battle finally ended in , when the Ontario Court of Appeal issued its last decision on the matter of costs relating to the complex web of litiga- tion spawned by Mrs. Campbell’s inheritance. The story that Mrs. Campbell tells is extraordinary, and not only because she appears to have been the first woman to argue in front of the Law Lords at the Privy Council. Mrs. Campbell’s description of the barriers she surmounted before emerging victorious in England unveils the intricate, multilayered world of overlapping intrigue and influence that constituted the early-twentieth-century Ontario legal system. From her unique vantage point as both an insider and an out- sider, she comments on the actions of lawyers and judges with acuity and perspicacity. Others might have thought as she did.

Without doubt, from a social welfare perspective, the CCF helped build and develop an extensive social welfare system across Canada. It has been justly credited with being one of the major influences over Canadian social welfare policy during the critical years following the Great Depression. This was especially true of the period of the Second World War when the federal Liberal government of Mackenzie King adroitly borrowed CCF policy planks to remove the harsh edges of capitalism and put Canada on the path to a modern Welfare State.

  • Priorities in Collecting the Ontario Archival Recor4
    "Quaint Specimens of the Early Days": Priorities in Collecting the Ontario Archival Recor4 by DONALD MACLEOD Images of a region's past reflect largely the history written about that past, and the archival resources available in turn exercise a pronounced influence over what history is written. In Ontario, fascination with things military, with pre-Confederation colonial politics, and with pioneer life and settlement occupied special places in archival collecting between 1872 and 1935. The documentation of local settlement, for one, played so prominent a part that it might readily be argued that more attention was paid to local identities than to the provincial identity as a whole, especially by the provincial archives. Archival collect- ing in Ontario, centred in the work of the Public Archives of Canada (dating from 1872) and the Ontario provincial archives (founded in 1903) did differ markedly from that in at least one other region. Archival work in the Maritimes concentrated almost wholly on the pre-Confederation period; in Ontario, archival institutions more frequently followed developments into the twentieth century. Moreover, in Ontario, intermittent attempts were made to document social life and, especially, the march of material progress won through corporate growth, agrarian enterprise, and various aspects of institutional modernization. Yet few relevant unpublished materials were acquired, eccentricities beset the later work of the Public Archives of Canada, and the broader spectrums of political, social, and economic change remained neglected. Other preoccupations dominated. Archivists for the most part turned a blind eye to the details of post-Confederation party politics, to economic and social policy as it evolved at the provincial level, to social and political dissent within provincial society, to new ideologies, intellectual systems, and social mentalities, and to urban social life in general, although here some exceptions appeared.

Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics.

  • Acadiensis 129 the Mind and Character of Robert Borden
    Acadiensis 129 couraged in its plans to begin the encoding of census and other manuscripts, while Statistics Canada should aid in this process and also open the 1881 and 1891 materials to researchers. Efforts like the C.H.A.'s and S.S.R.C.'s to standardize procedures and lobby with the federal government must be en­ couraged and supported fully by the profession. Finally, we must give con­ sideration to ways of systematically training scholars and students in Canada, as well as sending them to foreign institutes. These recommendations mark only a bare beginning, but any steps in these directions would mark significant improvement and repay investments of time, energy, and funds. Canadian history deserves such a major effort. HARVEY J. GRAFF The Mind and Character of Robert Borden MacGregor Dawson called his book on Mackenzie King a "political biography," and he meant it.1 Dawson had found difficulty in using important and revealing sections of the King diaries. It was not from prudishness — Dawson was not a prude — but because he felt that it was too soon to use such evidence. King had died only seven years before. Dawson thus meant by the designation "political" that he could not write a full biography. The result was that Dawson's biography of King is almost too judicious; what Dawson believed he could use of the sources in effect determined what King was to be. The types of sources for Borden are different; but the problems revealed in Craig Brown's handsome biography are not dissimilar.2 In this 306-page study of Borden's life from 1854 to 1914, the emphasis is placed on Borden's political career from 1896 to 1914.

  • Toronto Newspaper Coverage of the 1975 Ontario Provincial Election Campaign
    ABSTRACT TORONTO NEWSPAPER COVERAGE OF THE 1975 ONTARIO PROVINCIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN by Nick Chandler Stout As scholars and others try to explain the surprising results of the l975 Ontario provincial election, i.e., the relative success of the New Democratic party and the relegation to minority of the governing Progressive-Conservatives, they doubtless will consider the influence of the news media. This study considers the role of the Toronto press in the campaign. It involves a quantitative analysis to determine the amount of attention paid to each of the three major political parties: the Progressive- Conservatives, the Liberals and the New Democratic Party. It also provides a qualitative assessment to shed light on the attitudes of the Toronto press, such as the way it regarded party leaders, interpreted campaign news and implied electoral preferences. The findings are the result of a meticulous examination of the §1992_ and Mail, Toronto Star and Toronto Sun in which campaign-related articles were measured and assessed for their partisan value. Nick Chandler Stout The study shows that the Tories were given considerably more space than the opposition parties, but that the socialist- leaning NDP tended to receive the best treatment from writers of editorials and commentaries. Moreover, it is shown that the NDP became the centre of attention during the final phase of the campaign and gained a strategic advantage by the prominent news coverage it was given at that time. In a general sense, more attention was paid to the images of the party leaders than to the issues for which they stood.
