The feature of the bill which will do much to harmonize those who are anxious to preserve the educational rights of the province will be clauses retain ing to the province the right to nominates a Catholic council of education. If it chooses to retain this leverage over the system it will be able to control it thoroughly.Fail ing this motion on the part of the province the federal government may nominate a couns ceil, so that the maintenance of Catholic achoola in Manitoba will depend, if Mr. Greenway cofuses responsibility, on power to deal with the case from year to year the duty of nominating the council. ‘The fate of the bill as no parliament cannot safely, at the present stage, be remarked on a certainty. It is evident that conservatives who are opposed to the principle of the measure will discuss and vote upon it re ten altogether of political considera ions.
