ligion for one-half hour three times
week in the school building 10 pupils
whose parents have expressed wish
for such construction.
Concerning proselyting, the report
says:
Not only is no Proselyting allowed
or attempted in any of the public
schools. but inquiry of the leaders of
the four principal Protestant denomi-
nations here brings out the fact that
so far as is known by these leaders
there is not a native Protestant Sun
day school teacher in the entire arch
ipelago."
The statement that not one-third of
the Protestant teachers ever taught
a day before going to the Philippines
and that the Catholic teachers are sent
on to the distant provinces is emphat-
ically denied
Father McKinnon, a priest officially
connected with the public school sys-
TEN in Manila. who went 10 that place
as chaplain of the First California
regiment at the outbreak of the Span
ish-American war, has urged the au-
thorities of the Philippines church to
send 400 of the younger native priests
TO America for a couple OF years train
ing in seminaries in the United States.
Father McKinnon says he discussed
this plan with the late President Nc
Kinley, who approved it. as it was be-
Iieved that i'm this way Filipino clergy
men would become imbued with the
broad spirit of American priesthood.
1t is believed possible that money for
carrying out this project could be
raised in America. 1t is estimated that
the seminary expense Of each priest
would be about $3.50 a year. The ma
tiyes are favorable TO the plan. The
fact that the native priests speak
different language from those in
America would be no hindrance, be
cause all Catholic clergymen have
common knowledge Of Latin. and be-
sides a number of priests in the United
States speak Spanish.

CHARGES ARE DENIED

Father MckinnOn's EducR-
tiOnaI Proposition.

The bureau Of iuSular affairs Of the
war department has made public the
report of Frank Il. Bowen. acting gen
eral superintendent of public instruc-
tion for the Philippine islands, upon
the charges made IN the United States
against the school system Of the isl
9nds alleging that it was used as q
prOselyting agency against Catholics
and generally used 10 the prejudice Of
Catholicism.
These charges were forwarded to
Manila and the reply vas made 10 Act
ing Gov Wright
The report Of superintendent Bowen
Is a general and specific denial of the
charges. He says that of 20 persons
who have been division superintend-
ents only one has ever been clergy
man. Three division superintendents
were appointed from a list submitted
by leaders of the Roman Catholic
church in the United States.
In this connection the report says:
THE question Of the religious belief
of applicants and appointees was never
considered until late in 1901. At that
time a special lot of applications,
gathered by the authorities of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
States, was sent 10 the civil governor
of these islands and transmitted TO
the general superintendents. From
these special lists three division super
intendents and % teachers were ap-
pointed. In reporting these appoint
ments TO the civil governor the gen
eral superintendent stated: 4 have
had much difficulty in finding people
in this lot Of applications who are pos
sessed of the educational preparation
and teaching experience which is re-
quired of other appointees in this de-
partment. Those who have not been
selected seem to be wholly insult
able"
The only departure from strict non
sectarianism in the conduct of the
schools was a provision of the Philip
pine commission, which made il law
full for priest or minister of any es-
tablished church in the pueblo where
a public school is situated to teach re-
