The Commis missioners are unanimous in the belief that a great majority of the Filipinos desire religious teaching in the schools, and they have had for that purpose a bill for public education which will be defeated unless the children of Catholics are permitted to attend-the public schools. The representatives of' the central Catholics at a meeting here spoke on the subject of re ligious schools and urged? the adoption of amendments providing for the employment exclusively or principally of native and Catholic teachers and for permitting relig ous teaching in schools. They argued that the native teachers could achieve better re sults than Americans and that the public schools would be far more successful if prevailing religious customs were not disturbed. In order to avoid a long response from their opponents on the ques tion of religious teaching in schools the' judges announced that the commission under its instruction could not " possibly adopt the amendments suggested by the cen tral Catholics.
