Church and State Separation Debate in School Bill
Masina Jan 12 The school bill section on religious instruction continued with Dr L Manuel Burgos arguing the friars would exploit any allowance. He urged eliminating the section now to avoid Catholic dominance, citing Malolos congress and Federal party on church state separation. Judge Taft called the bill experimental and warned against ecclesiastical opposition. He doubted judging by past results and favored pursuing present plans, while Burgos pressed for removal to prevent offensives to Catholic sensibilities.
