J'ai fait voir, je crois, que les resultats avantageux de l'action simultanee des ecoles anglaise et francaises, seront le retablissement de la confiance entre les deux populations, quant a ce qui a rapport a la langue; l'on aura deja beaucoup fait. 8. Les cnfans des deux races s'entremehuit tous les jours, tant a l'ecole qu'ai trernent, seront les uns avec les autres, sur le pied de l'amitie, ils joueront ensemble, et iront les uns chez les autres. Les parens chez qui la mefiance aura disparu, se seront humanises; leur interet y sera aussi pour quelque chose. Ils n'exciteront pas les enfans les uns contre les autres, non, pas plus qu'ils n'engendreront querelle a leurs voisins, parcequ'il arrivera a ceux-ci d'etre d'une origine differente de la leur. 9. L'influence imperceptible mais puissante qui sera ainsi produite et s'exercera de cette maniere sur les enfans, reagira sur leurs parens. La bonne intelligence, la paix et l'harmonie regnant a un si haut degre parmi des enfans oubliant leur origine, et unis par un lien commun d'amitie, devront tot ou tard exercer une influence irresistible sur ceux qui seront tousles jours, les temoins et les admirateurs d'un aussi heureux etat de choses. 10.

La paix et le bonheur...

Ruling by Schooling Quebec provides a rich and detailed account of colonial politics from 1760 to 1841 by following repeated attempts to school the people. This first book since the 1950s to investigate an unusually complex period in Quebec’s educational history extends the sophisticated method used in author Bruce Curtis’s double-award-winning Politics of Population. Drawing on a mass of archival material, the study shows that although attempts to govern Quebec by educating its population consumed huge amounts of public money, they had little impact on rural ignorance: while near-universal literacy reigned in New England by the 1820s, at best one in three French-speaking peasant men in Quebec could sign his name in the insurrectionary decade of the 1830s. Curtis documents educational conditions on the ground, but also shows how imperial attempts to govern a tumultuous colony propelled the early development of Canadian social science. He provides a revisionist account of the pioneering investigations of Lord Gosford and Lord Durham.
