Religious Instruction in Philippine Schools

IN the Philippines there is about to be established a department of public instruction. The bill now being discussed contains a section prohibiting the school-teachers teaching religion, but “permitting priests and ministers to teach religion half an hour three times a week outside of school hours, provided the parents express a written desire for such instruction.” The parties for and against it are both Catholic; so Rome will have her way whichever way the question may be decided.
