The Congregation of Notre Dame, at one time threatein Its very existence, recovered little by little its educatioprestige of former years, and since that time it has made steiprogress.

Again, the Sulpicians inaugurated in 1796 a scholastic moment which gradually and successfully developed under thauspices.

Besides the two existing schools. Reverend Father Roiparish priest of Notre Danie, opened a new one in the Faubii»aint Laurent, and later on, seceral others at Bonsecours am the Fauburg St. Joseph. " Of the fifty-two schools," sjJacques Viger, " that existed in 1825 in Montreal and in Isurrounding villages, there were twenty-five under the directiof the clergy and religious of the Catholic Church, not takiinto consid

the demand by writing, the question will be decided by arbitra-I tors, appointed, one by the Commissioners, and one by the pro-

Iprietors, and the third by a judge of the Superior Court of thedistrict. The decision of the arbitrators, or the majority of themis final.

All property exempt from school tax cannot be expropriatedfor the purposes above mentioned. The Commissioners shoulddo all that is necessary to build, repair, maintain, and renew allschool houses, grounds, fences and furniture owned by them;to rent for a time, or accept gratis, the use of dwellings or otherbuildmgs, for school purposes.

Whatever concerns plans of school houses, the extent of thegrounds and buildings, the dimensions of the class-rooms, ven-tilation and heating, the Commission shall conform itself to theaws and regulations as defined by the Catholic Committee ofthe Council of Public Instruction and by the City.

of the schools, to build and to repair them, and to keep in jorder the furniture of the schools.

School Tar

The Corporation of Montreal actually levies a tax onestate, sufficient to cover the amount payable by the said (poration for the support of the schools. This tax, the ratewhich is fixed by m. Legislature, actually amounts to four terof a cent m the dollar, on all property owned by Catholics ;to five tenths on neutral property; this tax is imposed, collecand recovered, at the same time, and in the same manner asother city taxes on real estate.

Real estate belonging to religious institutions, or corpotions, of a charitable or educational character, and occupby these institutions or corporations for the ends for which tlbase been established, and not owned by them, merely to dra revenue therefrom, shall be exempt from the City school fc

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL TAX.

The first laws concerning the school organization of Moireal had not made any provision for raising any tax, but tcare and maintenance of the schools were directly paid forthe Municipal Corporation.

The by-law of 1867 authorized the collection of a tax, witout ordering it; the by-law of 1868 obliged the Commissionlevy a school tax, but without fixing the rate. In 1870 tlamount of the tax was settled on for the first time; it was' oitenth of a cent on the dollar; it was raised to one fifth in 187and to one quarter in 1892, finally, to four tenths in 1906

The tax called neutral is raised on real estate belonging i

othe'rl" tI T"'f '''''' -^h as Railroad Companies anothers^ The rate is five tenths of a cent on the dollar, and it idmded, according to the respective figures of the Catholic anrrotestant populations.Besides the school tax, the Commission couJd, since 189(exact a monthly school fee. This fee has been abolished sine

On March 5th, 1915, five school municipalities in the suburbswere annexed by acts of the Legislature, to the Catholic SchoolCommission of Montreal, they are the following: Saint Mark,Saint Anselm, Amherst Park, St. Zotique, and that of Tetreault-ville. As a result of these annexations, the religious communi-ties of the Brothers of Christian Instruction, the Sisters cf SaintAnn, and the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, whopreviously dit not belong to the Central Board of Commissioners,are now represented by the teaching staff of some one of theseannexed schools, which were under their direction at the timeof the annexation of these municipalities.
