Document Summary
The two great questions 1900-1949: high schools, tiny townships case 1926-8, corporate tax, catholic taxpayers association. Ryerson in 1871 creation of high schools: very few people went to high schools vast majority who were farmers wouldn"t go to hs because it wasn"t expected. These bishops took the government to court and used the scott act against them. Corporate tax: 1867 individuals were taxed, 1930"s the depression; whole municipalities go bankrupt, no employment, etc hard times. In 1890"s you have corporations getting taxed which their money would go to funding public schools. So mcneil and others try to fight the corporate tax and use section 20 of the scott act in court. They called martin j quinn and together they called the catholic taxpayers association (largest lay catholic movement in the history of ontario) What quin was able to do was mobilized 423 parishes behind this movement.
