Miss Conception Aguila, member
of the National Council of Educa-
ton for the Republic of the Philip
pines, dreams of the day when
America and her country will ex-
change students and teachers. After
two years Of studying United States
educational methods, she has tenn
porarily settled down in Washington
to observe operation Of the District
school system, which, like that Of
the Philippines, is under the direct
supervision of the national govern
ment.
Miss Aguila, a smiling lady with
smart American up-do and a
pleasant accent, says that Philip
pines independence should bring
about closer cooperation between
the two countries.
"Of course, we know far more
about you than you do about u.s.
Miss Aguila said, explaining that
PHILIPPINES are avid readers OF Amer
lean books and magazines and study
American history in their schools.
Her countrymen invariably choose
American over European universities
for postgraduate work, which has
been much, hampered in the Philip
pines due to the destruction of their
libraries during the war.
Filipino women enjoyed far
greater measure of professional free
dom under American occupation
than they ever knew under the
Spanish regime, which permitted
only teaching careers for women,
Miss Aguila said. She herself took
full advantage of American-granted
women's rights, having passed the
bar in Manila. She is permitted to
practice, law here in the Supreme
Court, which she considers great
honor.
During her stay here she digs in
every afternoon at the Library OF
Congress studying legislation affect
ing American education and teach
ers, with an eye to introducing a
greater measure of social security
for the teachers in her native land.
The educational system of the
Philippines since its independence
has been somewhat revised, she ex-
plains, with greater emphasis on
industrialization and vocational
guidance courses which will help
Filipinos to realize their goal Of a
greater national self sufficiency.

the schools Of the Philippines, Miss
Aguila said: I'VE are like the New
England States-conservative. We
have no such instruction in the
high schools. We save 1t for the
college courses"
AS for progressive education, 1t
hasn't made much progress there
either. I'VE have little" Miss
Aguila conceded, but we do not
carry 1t to the extreme point where
children are allowed to do what they
want to do just when they want to
do it."
AS executive director of Ell Cantro
Escolar University in Manila, where
every grade is taught from kinder
garten through college, Miss Aguila
conducted classes under the Japa-
nese occupation. She thinks it
ironic that while the conquerors
forbade the teaching of English
composition and rhetoric, there was
no ban on English literature.
However, passages relating the ex-
cellence of the democratic system
Of government were censored. Teach
ers were required to paste blank
sheets of paper over the offending
material.

Home for Aged Tax
Decision Reversed

The United States Court Of Ap-
peals yesterday reversed the District
Board of Tax Appeals and held that
the st. Margaret Mary House, 3033
P street NV, a home for aged and
inf1rm ladies, Is not taxable because
of its status as a charitable institu-
ton. r.
The st. Margaret Mary House was
purchased some years ago by the
Catholic Home for Aged Ladies, Inc,
which already was operating home
at 3043 p street NV, but needed
for additional room. Accordingly, 1t
purchased the property at 3033 P
street NV. and established an
auxiliary home. .rsi, ~st
The corporation then incorporated
a new organization under the name
of st. Margaret Mary House and
turned over to it, rent free, the re-
Gently purchased property" the ap-
pellate court said. The parent cor
poration, however, still owns both
buildings.
The Board Of Tax Appeals had
held that charitable property is
exempt from taxation only when
one institution owns and operates
the property.
In reversing that contention, the
court held: Everything that ap-
pears indicates that the use of the
property by the charity should be
the controlling factors.
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner of the
Court of Appeals. Justices Henry
w. Edgerton and E. Barrett Pretty
man heard the case with him.

ed by Attorneys Augustus P. Cren-

Davis Urges Governor
Ito Fill School Post on
on-PoIificaI Basis

State Senator Roy Tasco Davis
of Montgomery County appealed to
Gov. Lane today to make a mon
political" appointment when filling
the current vacancy existing In the
county's Board of Education.
The Democratic State Central
Committee has recommended Mrs.
Lillian E. Wilson Of Gaithersburg
for the vacancy created by the res
ignation OF Mrs. G. Jonathan Hauck
from the board.
In a statement In connection with
his letter to Gov. Lane, Senator
Davis said: e
"The Democratic Central Com
mittee continues to consider the
Montgomery County Board of Edu-
cation as political adjunct of its
organization -.
These appointments should not
be regarded as political plums be-
longing to any party and they should
be filled only after the Governor has
consulted the Parent-Teacher As
sociation and other civic organiza-
tions in the county.
1.-THE State Board Of Education
and the boards in practically all
counties are appointed on a non-
partisan or a bipartisan basis.
This is not the case in Montgomery
County.
"The Democratic Central Com
mittee continues to regard the
Board of Education as a partisan
political entity, thus carrying out
the policy they followed when they
imposed the appointment of James
w. Gill, an active member Of their
political organization to the board
over the protest of the Parent
Teacher Association and of other
civic-minded organizations in the
county"
