Excerpt from The Right Track, Compulsory Education in the Province of Quebec
In his election campaign last autumn, after his appointment as Provincial Secretary, Hon. L.A. David invited the people of Quebec to discuss the problem of education, and gave a new incentive to the discussion by outlining his own ideals. This lead was too inviting to be ignored; it has called forth this historical sketch of the attempt to secure an attendance law in Quebec.
I wish to take this opportunity of congratulating the Provincial Secretary on so definitely setting himself a high ideal for an educational policy. Political leaders in all countries have often been so intent on gazing at the individual trees and stumps of educational policy at close range that they have not seen the forest, nor have they been able to get a panoramic view of the problem as a whole. Hon. Mr. David is not afraid of his ideals nor of expressing them in public. When he tells the French-Canadian people of this province that they form a minority in the Dominion, and that they must therefore strive for an educational development that will give them intellectual supremacy, he has a message for the English speaking minority within the province as well.
