1452 THE CHURCH IN THE DOMINIONS [PART VII 
entry at fixed times to teach denominational tenets to 
those desiring such teaching. In South Australia and 
Victoria religion is now excluded ; an attempt was made in 
1896 in South Australia to secure its reintroduction by a 
referendum, but the result was in favour of no change. 
In Victoria an executive referendum was taken in 1904 and 
failed, and an attempt by the Upper House to secure a 
referendum by amending in 1910 an Education Bill failed 
owing to the solid resistance of the Lower House, but it was 
admitted that the Ministry was divided on the matter. In 
Queensland after a referendum in 1910, religious education 
was restored by Act No. 5 of 1910. In Newfoundland 
education is purely denominational, Government grants 
being given to denominational schools. In Canada separate 
schools exist in Ontario and Quebec, a modified system 
prevails in Manitoba, and also under the Constitution Acts 
of 1905 in Alberta and Saskatchewan? In New Brunswick 
a good deal of latitude is now allowed.® In South Africa the 
public schools are undenominational.*
