## Opinion text

Dissenting Opinion by
Watkins, J.:
I would reverse the court below on the ground that the Woods School is one institution and the division attempted was a fiction created by the court to evade the necessity of exemption. Without the division this case is controlled by Hill School Tax Exemption Case, 370 Pa. 21 , so the school is entitled to charitable exemption from local taxation on all its real estate.
