| Title |
Irish Schools for Canada: Arthur Buller to the Bishop of Québec, 1838
|
| Abstract |
A copy of a letter from Arthur Buller (1809-1869), Lord Durham's education commissioner, to Msgr. Joseph Signäy (1778-1850), Bishop of Quebec, dated October 1838. Buller asks the Catholic Bishop to comment on his views as to the proposed nature of religious instruction to be adopted in Quebec schools. Buller was proposing non-sectarian elementary instruction for Lower Canada where religious authority was limited to morality in the schools, and bureaucratic control would be responsible for the remainder of educational instruction. Buller believed that this "nationalization" of education would create "comradeship" across the lines of division of insurrectionary Lower Canada. Buller's idea was not embraced by the Bishop.
