Mr. OLIVER.
It is the only one to which we give any assistance and the only public school we have any knowledge of at the present time.
Mr. FOSTER.
I think the attendance and such information in reference to these schools should be given in return for the help we give.
Mr. OLIVER.
Mr. FOSTER.
How many children attend that Barrows school?
Mr. OLIVER.
I have not the numbers here. The school is at a village north of the Canadian Northern which is just beyond the line of the province of Manitoba. The school is in a saw milling village which is outside the jurisdiction of [Manitoba and is reached by a short piece of railway. It is not a mission school?
Mr. FOSTER.
Do these schools report?
Mr. OLIVER.
Yes, they report as to their work.
Mr. FOSTER.
Where is that report printed.
Mr. OLIVER.
I do not imagine that that report has been printed. There will be 321i
Mr. W. J. ROCHE (Marquette).
What disposition is made of insane patients from the Northwest Territories?
Mr. OLIVER.
There are only two insane patients at the present time from the Northwest Territories and I believe they are being treated at the Brandon asylum.
Mr. W. J. ROCHE (Marquette).
There is no change since the formation of the new provinces?
Mr. OLIVER.
No, they have not made arrangements for the care of the insane.
Mr. FOSTER.
Where are the prisoners taken care of?
Mr. OLIVER.
I think that depends on the locality. The Northwest Territories
extend along the north of five provinces and I fancy prisoners will be taken to whichever province is most convenient.
Mr. FOSTER.
What is included in miscellaneous expenses?
Mr. OLIVER.
It is necessary always to have a small amount to meet contingencies that may arise, but here we are asking an increase of $600. My note says that we now have accounts amounting to about $1,200 in connection with what is known as the Fiddler murder in the Keewatin district.
Some resolutions reported.
Mr. FIELDING moved the adjournment of the House.
Mr. R. L. BORDEN.
If you take Supply to-morrow, in what department?
Mr. FIELDING.
We will take Railways first, and, if there is time, Militia.
Motion agreed to, and House adjourned at 11.10 p.m.
