Religion in the Schools Sparks Public Debate in Manila
In Manila a bill to create a department of public instruction faces a clash over religious teaching. Proposals allow priests and ministers to give half hour lessons three times weekly outside school hours with parental written consent and ban religious exercises by teachers. Federal party Catholic opponents urge removal, citing constitutional and party platform issues. Union officials and Central Catholic society seek to permit instruction, asking time for a reply. Judge Taft notes U S commissioner stance of equal regard for all faiths. Separately, Manila-Cagayan railroad owners seek over one million dollars for damage from the insurrection, with further claims to come for earlier U S operations. British subjects own the claims. A Manila printing press publishing sedition material is confiscated.
