696 - THE FEDERATIONS AND THE UNION [PART 1V any school under the provisions of the agreement, and where both Roman Catholic and non-Roman Catholic children attended the school, and there was not adequate room to allow for separate accommodation for religious teaching, the Department of Education was to make regulations so that the Roman Catholic children could be taught on half the days of the month, and the non-Roman Catholic children on the other half. But during the secular school work no separation of the pupils was to take place. No pupils were to be per- mitted to be present at any religious teaching unless the parents or guardians desired it; otherwise they must either be kept in another room or dismissed before religious teach- ing took place. As regards language, the settlement arranged was that when ten of the pupils in any school spoke the French language, or any other language than English as their native language, the teaching of such pupils should be conducted in French, or such other language, and in English, upon the bilingual system. In Ontario there has been a decision in The Separate School Trustees of Belleville v. Grainger! that the appeal under s. 93 (3) lies only where some legal act is concerned, not merely because of matters affecting the everyday working of the school. (m) The Privileges of the Legislatures For a time it was contended by the Courts that a Provincial Legislature, in token of its absolutely subordinate position, could not pass an Act for conferring upon itself privileges equal to those of the House of Commons. This view was shared originally by the Dominion Government, and two Acts of Ontario and Quebec on this topic were disallowed. The same fate was awarded an Ontario and a Manitoba Act of 1874, but, with the usual inconsistency of Dominion action, an Act of 1876 was not disallowed. The Court of Queen’s Bench in Quebec held that a statute of Quebec on this subject was ulira vires. On the other hand, it was shown clearly by the case of Woodworth? decided by the Supreme ' 25Gr, 570; 1 Cart. 816. * 28. CR. 158. Sceabove, Pp. 450 seq.
