Document Summary
Smc 313- the origins of ss question in ont. Protestant schools did exist but didn"t have much of a system. In this yr general lord sydenham reminded the members that a due provision for edu was the duty of state. The common school bill of 1841 was introduced by general day. Originally the bill contained no mention of ss but opposition arose. The rc bishops of kingston and quebec objected to the principles of the bill. Strachan petitioned strongly that the edu of anglican children should be entrusted to anglican teachers only. In the end all petitions resulted in the bill allowing any religious minority to establish dissentient schools. In 1844 ryerson became superintendent of edu; very important event that happened. Strachcan refused to be a member b/c this would only encourage opposition to the board but he gave full support to power: power"s death proved disastrous to ryerson"s plan.
