	David Young thesis: Chapter Two
		Education in the province has evolved from a predominantly elementary-level system controlled by church and family, to a multi-level system governed by the state.
		While numerous attempts were made to develop a centralized education system common to all, all efforts resulted in failure, largely due to the lack of support from Catholics, who feared that such a system, controlled by English-speaking and Protestant authorities would signal the assimilation and "Protestantization" of the French Catholic population.
		However, the expansion of the school system in Lower Canada was interrupted by a political crisis in 1836, and the subsequent "Patriotes" revolt in 1837-1838, which resulted in the legislation of 1829 not being extended, a suspension of all educational subsidies, and a subsequent closure of numerous schools (Milner, 1986: 11).
