There has never been any doubt about what a Catholic school, is, but from the start the idéntity of the Protestant system has been nebulous, In fact, some have said the “Protestant” school is a myth, and so:the-body which oversees confedsional educa- lion for} the Quebee govern- a United Church to analyse and de- “Protestant educa- oA lob of peuple, in our system, were questioning the reality of | Protestant schools,” said Garth Bulmer, chairman of ‘the Pratt committee of .the “Quebec Superior Counsil , of Edu. pluralist, modern Protestant school, Even in religion courses, traditional Prates- tant doctrine-is left out to, avoid offendiug pupils of other faiths, Tracing the origins of Protestant education in Que- bee, Mair noted the first schools were formed by dif- fering denominations at- tempting to find’ common ground, Later non-Protes- tant immigrants, particularly.

The_ majority who res- ponded to the survey, con- ducted by The Free Press, emphasized a simple code of conduct was the key to lead- ing a good Christian life.
