Among the first official acts of the new Lieut-Governor of the Province of Quebec, the Hon. Henry G. Carroll, was the signing of the David bill proposing an increase of two extra mills on the taxes paid into the neutral panel towards the cost of educating non-Catholic and non-Protestant children by the Protestant School Board of Montreal. The bill thus became an act of legislation and is immediately being put into effect.
With the passing of this bill the whole Jewish school question in Montreal is shelved for the next session. In the meantime, however, the Provincial Government is busy studying the constitutional points involved. It is hoped, when the much involved question comes up again at the next session of the Quebec Legislative, that the various Jewish groups in Montreal, those favoring separate schools and those against it, will have united on a common platform in this matter.
