(( ٤ ))

يتكلم في البيت بلغة . وفي المدرسة بلغة اخرى . كما عليه ان يتعلم احدى اللغتين الاجنبيتين ( الانكليزية او الفرنسية ) بدرجة جيدة كلغته الاصلية . بحيث يستطيع ان يعبر بها عن افكاره بكل سهولة . وفضلا عن ذلك ان عليه ان يتعلم لغة ثالثة وهي العبرية بدرجة جيدة كذلك . ويضاف الى ذلك ايضا ان التلميذ هنا لا يتعلم شيئا من محيطه ـ كما يفعل التلاميذ في البلاد الراقية ـ فهو لا يزور المسارح . ولا يستمع الى محاضرات . وقلما يطالع . كما ان محيطه في البيت لا يساعده على ذلك . فاذا قلنا بان التلميذ عندنا يجب ان يحصل على الشهادة الثانوية بعد دراسة عشر سنوات واذا كانت هذه المدة كافية لحصوله على شهادة المتريكوليشن ـ فانه مع ذلك يبقى محروما من بعض المعلومات الاخرى التي تجعله في المستقبل رجلا مثقفا .

ويجب ان لا ننسى بان طلاب الصفوف الثانوية هم الذين تتكون منهم في المستقبل ـ الطبقة المنورة بين ابناء الطائفة . فلذلك يكون هذا النقص بينا في ثقافة الطلاب العامة .

وباعتقادي ان التلميذ يجب ان يحصل على الشهادة الثانوية بعد <del>لـ</del> دراسة اثنتي عشرة سنة ( اي من السنة السادسة حتى الثامنة عشرة من عمره ) . ( لدي منهاج خاص مفصل لذلك ) . اربع منها ابتدائية يتعلم اثناءها لغة البلاد وقليلا من العبرية . واربع اخرى متوسطة يبدأ <del>خلالها</del> خلالها بتعلم الانكليزية . ويتقدم بالعبرية فضلا عن تقدمه بالعربية . والسنوات الاربع الباقية تكون ثانوية تدرس العلوم فيها باللغة الانكليزية مع تعمق بالعبرية والعربية بدرجة راقية . وبذلك سوف يمكننا ان نعتني في الصفوف الثانوية بتدريس الموضوعات الاجتماعية كالآداب والتاريخ والجغرافية وفنية ـ كالموسيقى والرسم والاشغال اليدوية .

وان لدى الطائفة مدارس عديدة يجب تقريب مناهجها مع بعضها لكي يتمكن التلميذ ان ينتقل من المدرسة الى الاخرى بكل سهولة . سيما من المدارس الابتدائية الى الثانوية .

ـ ٤ ـ التربية البدنية : --------------------

ان القول المسلم (( العقل السليم في الجسم السليم )) اصبح اشهر من ان يكرر . وقد لفتت هذه القاعدة انظار علماء التربية . فاخذوا يعتنون بابدان التلاميذ اعتناءهم بتغذية اذهانهم ولا شك في ان الباري تعالى قد منحنا الجسد للاعتناء به ـ نظرا لأهميته الكبرى في حياتنا ـ . فعلينا ان نهتم بامر الجسم الاهتمام كله اذا اردنا ان يكون لنا عقل سليم . ومن المؤسف ان تكون تربية الاجسام عندنا مهملة اهمالا فظيعا . وان اكثر الطلاب محدوبو الظهر . ضعيفو البنية يشكون على الدوام من وجع في رأسهم . كما ان مدراء المدارس يعرفون ذلك من التقارير الطبية التي تصلهم بين وقت وآخر . ولا شك في ان هذه الوضعية يجب ان لا تستمر بحالة من الاحوال . فان كنا نريد شبابا اصحاء ـ ولا شك ان كلا منا يريد ذلك ـ فعلينا ان نعتني كل الاعتناء بتربية اطفالنا البدنية .

ويمكننا ان نعين مدرسا قديرا واحدا لكافة مدارسنا . على ان يوسع هذا المشروع في المستقبل .

(( 4 )) He speaks one language at home and another at school. Furthermore, he must learn one of the two foreign languages (English or French) to a high standard, like his native language, so that he can express his thoughts with it easily. In addition to that, he must learn a third language, which is Hebrew, to a good degree as well. Added to this is that the student here does not learn anything from his environment—as students do in advanced countries— as he does not visit theaters, nor does he listen to lectures, and he rarely reads. Moreover, his home environment does not help him in that regard. If we say that our students must obtain the secondary certificate after ten years of study, and even if this period is sufficient for him to obtain the Matriculation certificate— he nevertheless remains deprived of some other information that would make him a cultured man in the future. And we must not forget that the students of the secondary classes are those from whom the enlightened class among the members of the community will be formed in the future. Therefore, this deficiency is clear in the students' general culture. I believe that a student must obtain the secondary certificate after <del>for</del> twelve years of study (meaning from the age of six until eighteen). (I have a special detailed curriculum for that). Four of them are elementary, during which he learns the language of the country and a little Hebrew. Another four are middle, during <del>during</del> which he begins learning English. He advances in Hebrew as well as in Arabic. The remaining four years shall be secondary, in which sciences are taught in the English language along with an advanced study of Hebrew and Arabic. By doing so, we will be able to attend to teaching social subjects in the secondary classes, such as literature, history, geography, and arts—such as music, drawing, and manual labor. The community has many schools whose curricula must be brought closer to each other so that the student can move from one school to another with complete ease, especially from primary to secondary schools. 4 - Physical Education: ⟦line⟧ The accepted saying "A sound mind in a sound body" has become too famous to repeat. This rule has caught the attention of educators. They began to care for the bodies of the students as much as they cared for nourishing their minds. There is no doubt that the Creator, Almighty, has granted us the body to care for—given its great importance in our lives—. We must pay full attention to the body if we want to have a sound mind. It is regrettable that the education of bodies among us is terribly neglected. Most students are hunchbacked, of weak build, constantly complaining of headaches. School principals know this from the medical reports that reach them from time to time. There is no doubt that this situation must not continue under any circumstances. If we want healthy youth—and no doubt each of us wants that—we must pay every attention to the physical education of our children. We can appoint one capable teacher for all our schools, provided that this project is expanded in the future.

إلى - معالي وزير الداخلية المحترم

نظرا لتدهور مالية ادارة الطائفة الاسرائيلية ببغداد بسبب هبوط واردات الرسوم المفروضة على اللحوم التي يستهلكها الاسرائيليون سنة بعد اخرى فان مالية المؤسسات التي تعتمد على صندوق الطائفة قد ارتبكت ايضا مما استدعى الى التفكير في ايجاد موارد اخرى للاستعانة بها على ادارة هذه المؤسسات

ولما كانت المدارس الاهلية الاسرائيلية ببغداد من جملة هذه المؤسسات التي تأثرت ماليتها بهذا الضيق الى حد كبير فقد اضطرت الى تزييد الاجور المدرسية على الطلاب شيئا فشيئا لتتمكن من تعويض المبالغ التي انقطع ورودها من صندوق الطائفة مما ادى الى مضايقة الطلاب الفقراء واستوجب ايجاد طريقة لمساعدتهم بقسم من اجورهم المدرسية او جميعها وباثمان الكتب واللوازم التي اصبحت لغلاء اسعارها ترهق اولياء الطلاب الفقراء وخصوصا من كان منهم في الاقسام المتوسطة والثانوية .

لذلك فقد تطوعنا نحن الموقعين ادناه لتأسيس جمعية خيرية باسم جمعية اسعاف التلاميذ تأخذ على عاتقها تطمين احتياجات الطلاب الفقراء وتزويدهم بالكتب واللوازم المدرسية ودفع الاجور المدرسية عنهم كلا او بعضا ومعاونتهم بالطرق الممكنة على تتمة تحصيلهم العلمي وذلك بجمع الاشتراكات والتبرعات واقامة الحفلات الخيرية كما هو مدرج في النظام المربوط بهذه العريضة

فنرجو معاليكم التفضل بمنحنا الاجازة اللازمة لتأسيس هذه الجمعية وفقا للنظام الداخلي المربوط ولمعاليكم وافر الشكر والاحترام .

Baghdad, July 1940 To - His Excellency the Honorable Minister of Interior In view of the deterioration of the finances of the administration of the Jewish community in Baghdad due to the decrease in the revenues of the fees imposed on the meat consumed by the Jews year after year, the finances of the institutions that rely on the community fund have also been disrupted, which called for thinking about finding other resources to assist in the management of these institutions. And as the private Jewish schools in Baghdad are among these institutions whose finances were significantly affected by this distress, they were forced to gradually increase school fees for students in order to be able to compensate for the amounts that ceased to arrive from the community fund, which led to the harassment of poor students and necessitated finding a way to help them with part or all of their school fees and the prices of books and supplies which, due to high prices, have become a burden on the guardians of poor students, especially those in the intermediate and secondary sections. Therefore, we, the undersigned, have volunteered to establish a charitable association under the name of the Student Aid Association, which takes upon itself the responsibility of meeting the needs of poor students and providing them with books and school supplies and paying school fees for them in whole or in part and helping them in possible ways to complete their educational attainment by collecting subscriptions and donations and holding charitable ceremonies as listed in the bylaws attached to this petition. We hope Your Excellency will be so kind as to grant us the necessary license to establish this association according to the attached internal regulations, and to Your Excellency much gratitude and respect. The Founders

Mr. Schuster is getting married immediately after the festival. his wife's maiden name is Block and she is naturally coming with her husband. I hope that the passport affairs can be arranged in time to allow us to leave together immediately after Succoth. We are prevented from leaving earlier by the fact that the date of the festivals coincide with the dates of the departure of boats. I hope that it will be suitable if we all arrive around October 10th. I shall write to Mr. Barry as to how he should arrange the time-table until our arrival.

I hope that the passport affairs can be arranged in time to allow us to leave together immediately after Succoth. We are prevented from leaving earlier by the fact that the date of the festivals coincide with the dates of the departure of boats. I hope that it will be suitable if we all arrive around October 10th. I shall write to Mr. Barry as to how he should arrange the time-table until our arrival.

Baghdad 16th June, 1937

Gentlemen,

I wish to make the following statement. On Monday June 14th, 1937, I went to the room of the Second Secondary Form in the company of Mr. Tewfik Basry and Mr. Yusef Daoud. On my instructions, Mr. Basry explained to the form that the school was not prepared to alter its syllabus in order to prepare pupils especially for the government Intermediate examination. He pointed out, however, that the school would enter suitable candidates for the examination and would grant ten days leisure for preparation for it.

It is my duty to inform you, gentlemen, that this arrangement will probably lead to trouble in the course of the next year. I must disclaim all responsibility. The Second Secondary Form contains a large amount of explosive material, including a number of bad characters, who have taken part in strikes in the past. I shall naturally be vigilant in my attempts to prevent trouble, but there will always be danger as long as no satisfactory solution of the problem is reached As the policy at present in force has been intrduced at your desire, you will understand the correctness of my position if I warn you of your great responsibility towards the school.

Yours faithfully,

[Signature] Headmaster

3 Copy of the Hospital Committee letter dated 27/1/937 to: His Excellency, the respected President of the Lay Council After greetings and respect, Based on the decision of the esteemed General Council taken in its session held on December 22, 936, which states: (Based on the request of member Mr. Meir Dangoor, it was decided to recommend that the Lay Council study the accounting figures of the Hospital Committee itself or by appointing a committee on its behalf and submitting a report to the Council in the next session). We present to your esteemed Council a copy of the shortfall in allocations that were not paid on time to the hospital according to previous custom, and the status of the institutions from the year 1933 to the end of the year 1936. Dinar | Fils 500 | ⟦line⟧ | Shortfall during the time of the Deputy Community President, Mr. Harun Shohet, who decided to reduce this amount from the allocations. He had given to all hospital institutions, namely Meir Elias Hospital, Dar al-Shifa Pharmacy, Remah Kadoorie Hospital, school clinics, and Isaac Al-Jarrah Clinic, 1425 Dinars annually, while the amount previously paid to the hospitals was 1925 Dinars. Meir Elias Hospital was able to manage its affairs at that time by leasing the endowments of Reqa Nuriel for several years and receiving the rent in advance, and these amounts were naturally deducted from subsequent years. 513 | ⟦line⟧ | In the 934 budget (which is the first budget organized for the community's institutions), the Lay Council decided to set the same allocations as the previous year for the hospitals. To balance income and expenditures, it exaggerated the estimation of income, which led to this deficit according to the account submitted at the time, which we repeatedly requested from both the Lay and General Councils. 846 | 77 | The deficit occurring at the end of the year 935 according to our letter to the Council dated 21/11/935. 307 | 403 | The purchase price of approximately 1650 square meters from the Capital Municipality to merge it into Meir Elias Hospital, upon which houses for the doctors were built. 033 | 94 | Expenditures on a portion of the completions for Remah Kadoorie Hospital according to the two lists submitted to the Council. 347 | 897 | The shortfall for the year 936 according to the detailed account submitted to the Council as per our letter dated October 28, 936. 533 | 2485 | The amount claimed by the hospital. It is necessary to explain below the summary of the 1936 shortfall amount mentioned above, which is 897 Dinars and 347 Fils, as follows: Dinar | Fils 600 | 344 | The Council approved the 936 budget with a deficit of 344/600 Dinars. It was mentioned against this amount in the budget approved by the General Council that it is likely to be covered by an increase in income, whereas the income actually decreased as detailed in the mentioned account, which shows a summary of the estimated income shortfall below. 600 | 344 | Carried forward

The Evening Class.

Even at the risk of appearing ungrateful for the financial advan- tages,I feel that it was a mistake to open the evening class.I believe that originally there were about twenty students who were refused admission to the secondary school.They could all have been accomodated either at Baghdad College,the American School for boys,or outside Baghdad.Then,when the evening class was opened,the secondary school proceeded to give transfer certificates to Shamash School before the boys inquired whether we could accept them.Many of the boys who were sent away from other schools,were boys of bad character and gave our school considerable trouble afterwards.Later on many boys left other schools to come to us because they were afraid of failing in their exams and thought that ours would be easier or that influence could be used to make them pass.Others were in employment during the day and decided to let their names be registered at the school as a form of insurance against military service.To sum up,no great mizwah was done and no gratitude was felt.The real advantage of the scheme was that it has enabled the teachers of the Shamash School to be paid regularly month by month and it is for that reason that I do not grudge the trouble which the evening class has given me.

Now,I am not disposed to kill the goose,which has laid the golden egg.I believe that the evening class must continue since it has been begun but certain changes should be made to prevent the events of last year continuing.

(a) A supervisor should be appointed with authority to <del>puni</del> control the pupils of the class, to sign military certificates of the pupils and,in general,to act as headmaster for the evening class.Of course,I will continue to be interested in the evening class and to assist the supervisor in any way required.I think that such a supervisor should also take part in the teaching of the class and I believe that the most suitable candidate for the job would be Mr. Jack Yahya.

(b) All fees should be collected at the beginning of the school year and all those who wish to be registered will have to bring the fees for the whole year at the beginning of the year.

(c) Classes should be limited to a maximum of sixty.This will decrease the profits but it is really extremely difficult to teach a class of one hundred with a large percentage of the hooligan element in it.

(d) More careful selection should be made of the pupils accepted. Last year's failures should not be accepted,whether they come from our school or another.

I cannot conclude this statement without paying a tribute to Seyyid Tewfik Basry.His unswerving devotion to the school and his hard work on its behalf has contributed to a very large extent to the school's im- proved financial position this year and all those who were able to get their salaries regularly this year,should be very grateful to him.I cannot find words to express my own personal sincere appreciation of his loyal collaboration and friendship.

But the psychological factor is even more important. Boys must realize that reading is important, that it is more useful than any amount of learning by heart as knowledge is acquired automatically and unconsciously. There are many boys in the school, who work really hard but nevertheless do not realize that sound and intelligent steady work, are better than cramming. That is in my opinion a very necessary change of mind, which is absolutely essential in the interests of the boys.

Religious Instruction I found that classes in religious subjects were being treated very lightly and I was shocked to see boys and masters studying the Holy Bible with their heads uncovered. I gave orders for all to wear their sidaras during these lessons. I am sure that you will all agree as to the undesirability of boys being brought up without respect for sacred subjects.

(( ٣ ))

اما في هذا البلد فلا يوجد اية قاعدة بهذا الخصوص . فاولياء الطفل ـ سيما اولئك الذين لهم عدة اولاد ـ يريدون التخلص من الطفل باسرع وقت ممكن . فلا يكاد يستطيع التلفظ ببعض الكلمات حتى يدخلوه مدرسة المدراش او احدى المدارس الاخرى . نظرا لعدم وجود روضة للاطفال . وهذا العمل ـ اذا كان يرضي اولياء الطفل من حيث تخلصهم عبئه غير انهم بذلك ـ يجهلون بانهم يحكمون بعملهم على عقلية الطفل واتساع ذهنه حكما مؤبدا . فالطفل عندما يرى نفسه صحبة اولاد اكبر منه سنا ـ يبقى تحت عوامل الخجل والخوف . فتكون هاتان الخصلتان ملازمتين له ـ حتى عندما يكبر ـ فيصعب عندئذ استئصالها منه . فضلا عن ان ذكاءه يكون متوسطا ان لم نقل منحطا .

لذلك اصبحنا نرى تفاوتا كبيرا في سن الطلاب في صفوف مدارسنا . وقد كان لنا فيما مضى ـ اي قبل ان تفتح المدارس الحديثة ـ بعض العذر بذلك . فانه عندما فتحت هذه المدارس اخذ يدخلها كل تلميذ يرغب في الدرس بغض النظر عن سنه . فاصبح الكبير يتلقى العلم الى جانب الصغير في صف واحد . اما اليوم فلا عذر لنا بذلك بعد ان اصبح لنا مدارس راقية فلا يمكننا ان نستمر على مشاهدة طالب في السنة الخامسة من عمره الى جانب آخر يبلغ العاشرة في الصف التمهيدي او طلاب في سن الحادية او الثانية عشرة من عمرهم الى جانب آخرين تجاوزوا الثامنة عشرة في الصفوف السادسة . فان ذلك يضر كل الضرر من الوجهتين التربوية والتعليمية . لذلك يجب سن نظام خاص يحدد سن قبول التلميذ في المدرسة وعدد السنين التي يمكن التلميذ ان يقضيها في الصف الواحد ومتوسط اعمار التلاميذ في الصفوف والتشديد في تطبيق هذا النظام .

ـ ٣ ـ منهاج الدراسة :

ان قضية تعيين منهاج خاص للدراسة هي من اهم المشاكل التي تشغل علماء التربية اليوم في البلاد المتمدينة . واذا كانت المواد التي يجب ان يدرسها التلميذ تشغل اهتمام اولياء الامر في البلاد الراقية التي يشكل ابناؤها لغة واحدة ولهم ثقافة واحدة ـ فان من الاحرى ان تكون هذه القضية على جانب كبير من الصعوبة في هذا البلد . ولست بموقف يمكنني التحدث عن مناهج التدريس في المدارس الاسرائيلية عامة . لذلك احصر حديثي هناك عن منهاج مدرسة شماش . ومع ذلك يمكنني ان اقول ان منهاج سائر المدارس ليس على ما يرام . فمثلا : ان تعليم اللغة الانكليزية في الصف الاول الابتدائي الى جانب العربية والعبرية ليس فيه سوى اضاعة للوقت واستنفاذ حيوية التلامذة ونشاطهم عبثا . ويستطيع كل من امعن النظر لذلك ان يتأكد من هذه الحالة . <del>⟦illegible⟧</del>

اما عن مدرسة شماش : فاذا كنا نرى في انكلترا مثلا ان التلميذ يكمل دراسته الثانوية في سن السادسة عشرة فلا يجوز تطبيق ذلك على تلامذتنا . فهناك تنحصر همة التلميذ بدراسة لغة واحدة . <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> واذا كان يدرس في المدارس الثانوية بعض اللغات الاجنبية ـ فيكون ذلك بدرجة لا يكاد يستطيع التعبير عن افكاره فيها . اما هنا فالامر يختلف عن ذلك اختلافا كليا . فالتلميذ

(( 3 )) As for in this country, there is no rule in this regard. The child's guardians—especially those who have several children—want to get rid of the child as quickly as possible. He can hardly utter some words before they enroll him in a Midrash school or one of the other schools, due to the lack of a kindergarten for children. This action—if it satisfies the child's guardians in terms of getting rid of his burden—yet by doing so, they are unaware that they are sentencing the child's mentality and the expansion of his mind to a life sentence. When a child sees himself in the company of children older than him, he remains under the influence of shyness and fear. These two traits remain inherent in him—even when he grows up—making it difficult then to eradicate them from him. Not to mention that his intelligence will be average, if not low. Therefore, we have begun to see a great disparity in the ages of students in our school classes. In the past, that is, before the modern schools opened, we had some excuse for that. When these schools opened, every student who wished to study began to enter them regardless of his age. Thus, the older student received knowledge alongside the younger student in one class. But today, we have no excuse for that after we have come to have high-level schools. We cannot continue to see a student in his fifth year of age alongside another who is ten years old in the preparatory class, or students at the age of eleven or twelve alongside others who have exceeded eighteen in the sixth grades. This is entirely detrimental from both the educational and instructional perspectives. Therefore, a special system must be enacted that specifies the age for admitting a student to school and the number of years a student can spend in a single class, as well as the average age of students in the classes, and strictly enforcing this system. – 3 – Study Curriculum: The issue of designating a special curriculum for study is one of the most important problems occupying educational scholars today in civilized countries. And if the subjects that the student must study occupy the attention of the authorities in advanced countries where their children share one language and one culture—then it is more fitting that this issue be of great difficulty in this country. I am not in a position where I can speak about the teaching curricula in Israeli schools in general. Therefore, I limit my talk here to the curriculum of the Shamash School. Nevertheless, I can say that the curriculum of other schools is not as it should be. For example: teaching the English language in the first primary grade alongside Arabic and Hebrew is nothing but a waste of time and a useless depletion of the students' vitality and activity. Anyone who looks closely at that can confirm this situation. <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> As for the Shamash School: if we see in England, for example, that the student completes his secondary studies at the age of sixteen, this should not be applied to our students. There, the student's effort is limited to studying one language. <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> And if he studies some foreign languages in secondary schools—it is to a degree where he can hardly express his ideas in them. But here, the matter is completely different. The student

You assured me that the British Council would intervene in order to secure a substantial portion of the legacy for the Shamash School. I am enclosing a copy of an advertisement which recently appeared in the Iraq Times together with a copy of my application. I am also enclosing a copy of the last report of the Anglo-Jewish Association. From this you will see that they are continuing to treat us as badly as ever. Last year we protested against their taking money from the H.E. David fund to reduce their grant to Baghdad. This year they have again taken £200 for this purpose. There is a general inclination here to complain to the Charity Commissioners against this misuse of the David bequest but I should prefer to try peaceful methods of persuasion again. I should be very grateful if you could persuade them to change their attitude as the school urgently needs financial assistance. I hope to leave for England at the end of July. May I call at the offices of the British Council during my leave and discuss the matter. I should like to thank you again for your interest. yours sincerely

(3) Then, we have the question of expense. Our elementary classes cost us about I.D. 700 over and above the school fees received from them. The first three elementary have rather a small number of pupils, averaging 25 boys in a class. This is due to the fact that parents consider the school inconvenient for young boys. Then, our teachers in the elementary classes are rather better paid than those in other schools, mainly owing to the length of their service. At the same time, I recognize that this alone is not a very potent argument. It should be considered only in addition to the other arguments.

ارجو النظر في هذه الرسالة ودرس القضية بامعان

حضرة الوجيه الفاضل عضو المجلس العمومي المحترم

بعد التحية والاحترام

في النشرة التي اصدرها المجلس الجسماني مؤخراً ذكر ان عجز المستشفيات هو ٢٠٠٠ دينار ولكوني ذو تماس في هذه القضية اكثر من غيري رأيت من المناسب ان ابين الى حضرات اعضاء المجلس العمومي ان هذا العجز انما هو ديون باقية على صندوق الطائفة في الثلاث سنوات الاخيرة ولا شك انكم تتذكرون جيداً انني قد عرضت هذه القضية مراراً على المجلس العمومي الموقر وقد طلب المجلس العمومي من المجلس الجسماني درس الارقام وتقديم النتيجة للبت فيها غير انه لم يحصل من جانب المجلس الجسماني اي عمل ايجابي في هذا الخصوص وعليه فانني اربط مع هذا الكتاب صورة الرسالة المؤرخة ٢٧ / ١ / ٩٣٧ التي قدمتها لجنة المستشفيات الى المجلس الجسماني وهي محتوية على كافة التفصيلات التي تبين منشأ هذا العجز وكيفية تكوينه .

وتلاحظون من الحساب الوارد في الكتاب المربوط ان المبلغ الذي تطالب به المستشفيات من صندوق الطائفة هو ٢٤٨٥ ديناراً قبضت منه حتى الآن بصورة استقراض مبلغ ١٥٥٩ ديناراً والباقي وهو ٩٢٦ ديناراً لا يزال طلباً على صندوق الطائفة فاذا طرح هذا المبلغ من الـ ألفي دينار المشار اليها يكون الباقي الف دينار تقريباً منها ٧٠٠ دينار طلباً على المرحوم ساسون الكبير الذي قام بتشييد دارين في المستشفى والبقية طلبات على ناس مختلفين قاموا بتعميرات في المستشفى .

ومن الضروري ان نكرر هنا ان المستشفيات منذ ان تسلمت ادارتها خلال اربع السنوات الاخيرة لم تأخذ من صندوق الطائفة اي مبلغ زيادة على المخصصات المقررة لها منذ القديم انما بالعكس فقد تراكم لها الطلب المذكور اعلاه ( الذي هو قسم من المخصصات ) على صندوق الطائفة عدا الديون السابقة التي كانت عليها حتى اضطرها الامر الى الاستقراض بالفائدة لأجل تمشية امورها المالية .

والزيادة الوحيدة التي حصلت في المخصصات هي مبلغ ١٦٥ دينار سنوياً فقط اضيفت منذ تشييد بناية مستشفى ريمه خضوري وذلك مقابل التوسعات التي قضت الضرورة ادخالها على المستشفى المذكور بعد تجديده .

ومن المناسب على ما أرى ان اعرض بعض الاعمال التي تمت خلال السنوات الاربع الاخيرة بنتيجة جهودي التي بذلتها في هذا الشأن وبمؤازرة المحسنين من افراد الطائفة ومن غير ان التجئ الى معاونة صندوق الطائفة .

١ - بناية ربقه نورائيل التي اتخذت في الوقت الحاضر مقراً لبنكو دي روما وما فوقه والتي تقسم وارداتها مناصفة بين المستشفيات وبين مدرسة ربقه نورائيل تدر الآن ١٢٠٠ دينار سنوياً . وبنتيجة تعمير هذه البناية فان المستشفيات حرمت من حصتها من الواردات منذ سنتين وستظل محرومة منها الى سنة واحدة اخرى اعني الى ان يتم تسديد تكاليف البناء هذا عدا المبالغ التي دفعها من موجوداتها لتسديد هذه التكاليف .

٢ - لقد صرف خلال الاربع سنوات الاخيرة مبالغ كبيرة على الاملاك الموقوفة للمستشفى . ٣ - تعمير اربع دور كبيرة في المستشفى لسكنى الدكاترة والممرضة وغيرهم تقدر اجارتها السنوية بمبلغ ٨٠٠ دينار . ٤ - بناء وتوسيع المستشفى بالصورة الموافقة للشروط الصحية الحديثة . ٥ - جلب آلات وأثاث بمقياس واسع . ٦ - جلب الاطباء والممرضات اللازمين .

Baghdad 16 February 938 I request you to look into this letter and study the issue carefully To the honorable and distinguished member of the General Council After greetings and respect In the bulletin recently issued by the Lay Council, it was mentioned that the deficit of the hospitals is 2000 Dinars, and being in closer contact with this matter than others, I saw it appropriate to clarify to the members of the General Council that this deficit is actually debts remaining on the community fund from the last three years. No doubt you remember well that I have presented this issue repeatedly to the venerable General Council, and the General Council requested the Lay Council to study the figures and submit the result for a decision, but no positive action was taken by the Lay Council in this regard. Therefore, I attach with this letter a copy of the letter dated 27 / 1 / 937 which the Hospitals Committee submitted to the Lay Council, containing all the details showing the origin of this deficit and how it was formed. You will notice from the account mentioned in the attached letter that the amount claimed by the hospitals from the community fund is 2485 Dinars, of which 1559 Dinars has been received so far in the form of a loan, and the remainder, which is 926 Dinars, is still a claim on the community fund. If this amount is subtracted from the aforementioned two thousand Dinars, the remainder is approximately one thousand Dinars, of which 700 Dinars is a claim against the late Sassoon the Great, who constructed two houses in the hospital, and the rest are claims against various people who carried out repairs in the hospital. It is necessary to reiterate here that since the hospitals took over their management during the last four years, they have not taken from the community fund any amount in excess of the allocations designated for them since ancient times. On the contrary, the above-mentioned claim (which is part of the allocations) has accumulated on the community fund, in addition to previous debts it owed, until it was forced to borrow with interest in order to manage its financial affairs. The only increase that occurred in the allocations is an amount of 165 Dinars annually, added since the construction of the Rima Khedouri hospital building, corresponding to the expansions that necessitated their introduction to the aforementioned hospital after its renovation. It is appropriate, in my view, to present some of the works completed during the last four years as a result of the efforts I exerted in this regard, with the support of benefactors from among the community members, and without resorting to the assistance of the community fund. 1 - The Rebecca Nourayel building, which currently serves as the headquarters for Banco di Roma and the floor above it, whose revenues are divided equally between the hospitals and the Rebecca Nourayel school, now yields 1200 Dinars annually. As a result of the renovation of this building, the hospitals have been deprived of their share of the revenues for two years and will remain deprived for one more year, meaning until the construction costs are paid off; this is in addition to the amounts paid from its assets to settle these costs. 2 - During the last four years, large sums were spent on the endowed properties of the hospital. 3 - Renovating four large houses in the hospital for the residence of doctors, the nurse, and others, their annual rent is estimated at 800 Dinars. 4 - Building and expanding the hospital in a manner consistent with modern health conditions. 5 - Bringing in equipment and furniture on a large scale. 6 - Bringing in the necessary doctors and nurses.

Both these gentlemen are orthodox Jews and I think that it would be possible for all of us to live together. It will be rather more pleasant for me to have company of this sort. I should be grateful if you could make inquiries about suitable houses. Wire netting and modern sanitation are essential.

I feel sure that the Schools Committee will feel very satisfied with my choice. They are both of good family, with considerable Jewish knowledge, and will not regard the schools as a stepping- stone to other things ⟦à⟧ ⟦commencer⟧, but will take a real interest in the education of the boys under their care. If they feel happy in Baghdad, as I expect, they will probably spend many years there. I feel very enthusiastic about this.

٧ - تأسيس مقر للتحاليل مع آلاته وأدواته . ٨ - ادخال توسيعات كبيرة في ادارة المستشفى بين سنة ٩٣٣ و ٩٣٧ لتكون وافية بمقتضيات الصحة وصالحة لجميع المرضى .

بطيه كذلك جدول احصاءات ومعلومات منذ سنة ٩٣٣ الى سنة ٩٣٧ تبين مقدار التقدم الذي اصاب المستشفيات في الناحيتين الادارية والفنية فالآن تبلغ واردات المستشفيات الداخلية في سنة واحدة حوالي ٨٠٠٠ دينار وهذه الواردات هي التي ساعدت على زيادة عدد المرضى الفقراء الذين يقبلون في المستشفى بين سنة ٩٣٣ والوقت الحاضر وعلى توفير اسباب التقدم الفني للمستشفى .

ادرجت هذه المعلومات لكوني ارى نفسي مسؤولاً عن سير المستشفيات خلال السنوات الاربعة الاخيرة ذلك ليكون معلوماً لديكم ان عجز المستشفيات ليس الا ديوناً على صندوق الطائفة قد سبب تأخير دفعها ارتباكاً في حالة المستشفيات واحتياجاً لا تزال تعاني منه كثيراً حتى الآن . فاذا كانت هذه المؤسسة لم تأخذ من صندوق الطائفة اي مبلغ منذ اول او كتوبر سنة ٩٣٧ في حين انها تطلب صندوق الطائفة مبلغ حوالي الف دينار كما مشروح اعلاه وحوالي الف دينار ايضاً على الذين قاموا بتعميرات في المستشفى فكيف يمكنها ان تسير بصورة يمكن ان تنتج الفائدة المطلوبة من وجودها ؟ وما هو موقف الشخص القائم بادارة مؤسسة في وضعية حرجة كهذه ؟ فأملي وطيد ان كل عضو من اعضاء مجلسكم الموقر سينظر الى المستشفى بعين المساواة مع غيرها من مؤسسات الطائفة اذ يمكنني ان اقول ان المستشفى هي المؤسسة الاولى في الطائفة هذا ودمتم باحترام .

2 7 - Establishing a laboratory headquarters with its machines and tools. 8 - Introducing significant expansions in the hospital administration between the years 933 and 937 to be adequate for health requirements and suitable for all patients. Enclosed also is a table of statistics and information from the year 933 to the year 937 showing the amount of progress that has affected the hospitals in both the administrative and technical aspects. Now, the internal hospital revenues in one year amount to about 8000 Dinars, and these revenues are what helped increase the number of poor patients admitted to the hospital between the year 933 and the present time and in providing the causes of technical progress for the hospital. I have included this information because I see myself as responsible for the course of the hospitals during the last four years. This is so that it may be known to you that the hospital deficit is nothing but debts upon the community fund, the delay in payment of which has caused confusion in the state of the hospitals and a need from which it still suffers greatly until now. If this institution has not taken any amount from the community fund since the first of October 1937, while it is claiming from the community fund an amount of about one thousand Dinars as explained above, and about one thousand Dinars also from those who carried out repairs in the hospital, how can it proceed in a way that can produce the required benefit from its existence? And what is the position of the person managing an institution in a critical situation like this? My firm hope is that every member of your esteemed council will look at the hospital with an eye of equality with other community institutions, as I can say that the hospital is the primary institution in the community. Respectfully yours. ⟦signature⟧ Munir Dangoor Member of the General Council

تحسب فيها مدة خدمة الموظف ومقدار راتبه الاخير علي ان يصادق عليها من قبل المجلس الجسماني لان الميزانية لا تحتوي علي باب للاكراميات فنرجوكم اعلامنا عن سبب منح هذه الاكرامية ولماذا لم تستحصلوا موافقة اللجنة كما ان زيادة راتب مدام صباغ بموجب قرار جمعية الاليانس في باريس كان يلزم علم اللجنة وموافقتها ٥ ) تبين من الفقرة ١٤ المختصة بمدرسة نورائيل انكم قد دفعتم ٢٥ دينارا الي حاخام حسقيل حاخام شميل بدون مصادقة اللجنة ........... وقد اشار المدقق الي انكم قد دفعتم الي المعلمة سمحه سلمان راتب شهري تشرين الاول والثاني مع انها قد تركت المدرسة في نهاية تشرين الاول وهذا يعني اما انكم قد دفعتم راتب الشهر الثاني سلفا قبل ان يتحقق دفعه وهذا لا يجوز واما انكم قد صرفتم الراتب الثاني كاكرامية وهذا ايضا لا يجوز فنرجوكم اعطاء الايضاحات اللازمة لتبرير تصرفكم هذا وقد تبين كذلك انكم قد صرفتم ٦ / ٢ / ١٠ علي بعض التعميرات وشراء خيمة لمسكنكم وقيدتم المبلغ صرفا علي حساب تعميرات مدرسة نورائيل . ان هذا القيد لم يكن اصوليا اذ لا علاقة لمدرسة نورائيل بمثل هذه المصروفات البته هذا من جهة ومن جهة اخرى فان اللجنة لم تجد مبررا لصرف ثمن خيمة المسكن من صندوق المدرسة وقد قررت استقطاع قيمة الخيمة فقط من رواتبكم اما التعميرات فنرجوكم بيان نوعها ومقدار المصروف عليها لتتمكن اللجنة من ابداء رايها النتيجة

انه لما كانت مدارس الاليانس من المدارس التي تديرها الطائفة فانها يجب ان تخضع لنفس الانظمة والتعليمات التي تخضع لها بقية المدارس التي تحت ادارة هذه اللجنة وان هذه اللجنة من واجبها ان تطلع علي كل ما يجري في مدارسها سواء من الوجهة الادارية او المالية وعليه فان من الضروري استحصال مصادقتها على تعيين المدرسين وتقرير رواتبهم وزيادتها وتخفيضها وانهاء خدماتهم وكذلك يجب استحصال مصادقتها علي نوع الصرف ومقداره وفقا للتعليمات المحفوظة لديكم فنرجوكم ان تؤكدوا لنا بانكم سوف لا تسمحون بتكرار الامور التي لاحظناها لكم وان توعزوا الي المحاسب باستقطاع المبالغ المذكورة اعلاه وان تقدموا الايضاحات المطلوبة علي جناح السرعة

— 2 — the employee's length of service and the amount of his last salary are calculated therein, provided they are ratified by the Body Council, as the budget does not contain a section for gratuities. We request you inform us of the reason for granting this gratuity and why you did not obtain the committee's approval. Furthermore, the salary increase for Madame Sabbagh, pursuant to the decision of the Alliance Association in Paris, required the committee's knowledge and its approval. 5) It appeared from paragraph 14 concerning the Nuriel School that you paid 25 Dinars to Rabbi Heskel Rabbi Shmeil without the committee's ratification ⟦line⟧ The auditor pointed out that you paid the teacher Simha Salman the monthly salary of October and November, even though she left the school at the end of October. This means either you paid the second month's salary in advance before it was due, which is not permitted, or you spent the second salary as a gratuity, which is also not permitted. We request you provide the necessary clarifications to justify this action. It also appeared that you spent 10 / 2 / 6 on some repairs and the purchase of a tent for your residence and recorded the amount as an expenditure on the account of the Nuriel School repairs. This entry was not formal as there is no connection at all for the Nuriel School with such expenses on one hand, and on the other hand, the committee did not find a justification for spending the price of a residential tent from the school's fund. It has decided to deduct the value of the tent only from your salaries. As for the repairs, we request you state their type and the amount spent on them so the committee can express its opinion. The Result Since the Alliance schools are among the schools managed by the community, they must be subject to the same regulations and instructions that the rest of the schools under this committee's management are subject to, and that this committee has a duty to oversee everything that happens in its schools, whether from an administrative or financial perspective. Accordingly, it is necessary to obtain its ratification for the appointment of teachers and the determination, increase, reduction, and termination of their salaries, as well as obtaining its ratification for the type and amount of expenditure according to the instructions kept with you. We request you to confirm to us that you will not allow the recurrence of the matters we have noted to you and that you instruct the accountant to deduct the aforementioned amounts and to provide the requested clarifications with all due speed. ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧ ⟦illegible⟧

B03 · paragraph / latin M. Ittah, Esq., P.O.Box No. 18, Bagdad. IRAQ.

B04 · paragraph / latin Dear Sir, I thank you for your letter of the 25th March. I beg to point out two inaccuracies in the first paragraph thereof. You state: "there should be a sum of about £1500 in hand, which is ample for two extra students." As a matter of fact the balance in hand on January 1st last was not £1500 but £1269, and as a year's expenditure for each student does not fall far short of £250 the balance, if used, would suffice for only one student over a period of at least four years, the time that is occupied for training in the medical and teaching professions, assuming that all the examinations are passed at the proper times.

B05 · paragraph / latin We are now training five students (one of them, Mr. Joseph Zibli, was already in London studying for the medical profession before we came into possession of the David Legacy), and the whole of the annual income is used up in the payments we make to them. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary that we should keep a considerable sum in reserve for all the time to meet unforeseen contingencies. This is the reason why the Trust Fund cannot accept any additional student this year. Mr. Naim Basri should, however, have completed his physical training and returned to Baghdad by the summer of 1939, and then there would be sufficient money available for one student.

B06 · paragraph / latin I now come to that part of your letter concerning Mr. Basri, to whom I have read it. He denies having written to you personally or to the Selection Committee, but admits that he did write to his brother about his financial difficulties. He applied to the Association in the latter part of February for an additional monthly allowance of £2 for travelling expenses, and this sum was immediately granted to him.

Murad Effendi Michael is recommended for a salary of I.D. ⟦16⟧.250. I gather that he is the best teaher of Arabic to be found in any secondary school in 'Iraq. He is a distinguished literary figure and it is rather a distinction for the school to retain his services. The importance of competent Arabic teaching in a Jewish school does not need to be stressed to you. As a result of the teaching of Murad Effendi, the arabic of our boys compares very favourably with boys of other faiths. One of our boys Yusif Yehudah Perez, who was awarded a prize for Arabic composition on the recommendation of Murad Effendi, was so successful at the Central Secondary School, that the Headmaster read his Arabic composition to all the teachers. He should be encouraged.

Meir Effendi Zakarieh is a very able teacher and will soon be a graduate of the Law School. Next year, he will teach mainly in secondary classes and the community can ill afford to lose a teacher of his type. I advise that he should be paid I.D. 12.

⟦illegible⟧usif Effendi Daoud holds a secondary school certificate. He has been ⟦illegible⟧ost successful in teaching English to beginners in elementary classes. He ⟦illegible⟧s always ready to volunteer for any extra work and is a very willing and helpful worker. I consider him underpaid in view of his qualifications and I propose that he should be paid I.D.7.500 per month.

I cannot conclude without paying a tribute to the Honorary Secretary of the Schools Committee, Mr M. Ittan, whose collaboration and advice I esteem very highly. I regard it as a very fortunate thing for the Jewish schools that he watches over their destinies. It is a pleasure to work together with him.

In conclusion, I would point out that the studies of the boys have been hindered by disturbances and the general lack of harmony, which has prevail- ed. One of the essentials for future progress is calm, steady work without interruption. Another essential is your cooperation and interest. If we can introduce sound discipline, fairness and equity and a spirit of friendliness and mutual understanding, we can be sure that the rest will follow of its own accord.

This can only mean that boys have been allowed to pass into a higher form without being able to keep up with the work. This must be remedied. There is nothing so bad for a clever boy as to be kept back in his work by the presence of stupid, dull boys. He becomes bored and lazy as a result.

(( 2 )) ⟦line⟧ In the countries neighboring Iraq, there are high-level institutions for preparing competent teachers. Also, among the graduates of secondary schools—here—are young men with special talents who have a full desire to dedicate their competence to the cause of education. If the community established a mission for these young men at its own expense to complete their educational studies in one of those high-level institutions—for a year or two—they would return to Iraq with sufficient preparation and full ability to teach in the community's schools. In my opinion, the community should encourage the teacher who follows modern educational methods and reads educational books in his spare time and continues his studies during the holidays. It is possible to allow such a teacher to leave his job temporarily for a period of a year or two until he completes his educational studies abroad. An explicit promise can also be given to such teachers that their jobs are reserved until they return. The community can also advance such individuals a portion of their education expenses, provided they return the amount in installments during their future years of employment. Speaking of the lower grades—I must say a word about—kindergartens. It has become almost impossible to complete modern educational methods without taking care to open kindergartens. There is no doubt that this project requires heavy expenses. However, it is possible to start with a little and then progress towards perfection bit by bit. We have a significant number of educated Jewish girls who would gladly accept performing this duty for a small salary. It is also very easy for one of the graduates of the Alliance school or any other secondary school to be trained in—the principles of modern education— in Egypt, Syria, or Palestine for a period of one year. She would then become a capable teacher for the kindergarten. Although the situation does not allow me to elaborate on this subject, I have a detailed curriculum to bring it into existence. It is enough for me to assert definitively that the future of our schools depends on the issue of competent teachers for teaching. Every hour that passes without solving this issue goes to waste. ⟦line⟧ - 2 - School Age: ⟦line⟧ By this subject we mean: first—determining the age of entry to school. And second—the average adjustment of the average age of the student in each grade. In other words, determining the appropriate average age for each grade. In advanced countries, the determination of the age of entry to school is done by the child's guardians themselves, as they know that schools in general do not accept any student unless he reaches the age of six. Except in exceptional cases when the child's readiness and development help him enter school. As for before the sixth year, the child is under the care of a home nanny or enters a kindergarten.

**Traduction anglaise —**

Jewish Schools Committee Baghdad No. Date: June 17, 1940 Directorate of Alliance Schools Enclosed is a copy of the auditor's report dated May 9, 1940, submitted to the Communal Council as a result of auditing the Alliance Schools' accounts. We draw your attention to the following: 1) The first paragraph of the report refers to actions you took without obtaining the committee's approval. Bringing in teachers, setting their salaries, paying travel expenses, paying compensations, paying extra lecture fees, and increasing salaries require the approval of this committee according to the regulations. Your failure to do so constitutes an infringement on the committee's authority. 2) It appears from paragraph 2 of the report that you have rented a residential house for a rent amount exceeding the amount approved in the budget. You should have obtained this committee's approval for that. Furthermore, your commitment to a lease contract for the new house for more than one year requires the approval of the committee because it is not permissible to commit in advance to expenditures related to a fiscal year whose budget has not yet been approved. This is on one hand. On the other hand, this committee did not find any justification for your renting the new house two months and ten days before the old house's lease ended, as this action resulted in a loss to the school fund of 24.304 Dinars. If five Dinars you received for the rent of the old house for this period are subtracted from this amount, there remains a loss of 19.304 Dinars which this committee found no reason to accept and therefore decided to deduct it from your salaries. Likewise, it found no reason to pay income tax on your housing allowances, because these allowances are considered income for you, and income tax is borne by the employee according to the law. Therefore, it has been decided to recover all that the school fund paid on your behalf for income tax in the year 1938/939 or before or after it. 3) It appeared to us from the third paragraph that you have spent 3.150 Dinars on some renovations in your residence. We request that you state the nature of these renovations so the committee can provide its opinion on the matter. The school also paid 2.700 Dinars on your behalf for the water bill of your residence for the year 1938/939. Since the school has not previously paid the director's residence water bill before this, the committee does not wish to deviate from old customs, and it requests that no such expenses be charged to the school fund in the future. As for your response to the auditor that the committee's instructions, which state that its approval must be obtained for expenditures exceeding two Dinars, are difficult to implement, this is not acceptable in the committee's view. We insist on the necessity of you following the regulations and instructions communicated to you, as is the case with other schools. 4) It appeared from paragraph 12 concerning the Laura Kadoorie school that the school paid 27 Dinars as housing allowances to three teachers, while what was approved in the budget was a housing allowance for one teacher. You should have requested the committee's approval for this measure. Furthermore, what was stated in the report regarding your payment of 3.500 Dinars to the teacher Naima Munshi as a bonus has aroused the committee's surprise because the payment of bonuses was determined by previous decisions.

I hope to submit some recommendations to you in the near future concerning this subject. Teaching of English.

Her long experience in teaching English in this part of the world makes her advice very valuable indeed. The chief need of our boys is that they should read more. They learn a great deal of grammar but seem unable to apply the rules, which they have learned, owing to lack of practice in reading. During the next term, the <del>second</del> ⟦first⟧ secondary classes will read "Treasure Island" while the <del>third</del> ⟦second⟧ secondary class will read "Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare." The Oxford Reader was really not sufficient preparation for boys who are about to make a big jump and read the set books in the Matriculation Examination. It is my opinion that boys in the secondary classes should read three or four books in class and they should be examined on another five other books, which they should read at home. Of course, when we improve the school library in the near future, things will be easier.

Shamash Secondary School, Baghdad. June 20th 1937.

Report on the School Year 1936 - 1937.

As the school year approaches to an end, one can look back with cer- tain feelings of saitsfaction. It has been rather uphill work and it is by no means complete. It is far easier to destroy than to build up. Now, discipline is improving by leaps and bounds and the standard of instruction and knowledge seems to be steadily mounting up. Among the most urgent needs of the school are an improved library, laboratory, and a sports ground. Extra curricular activities, such as, painting, music, the drama, etc., are to be encouraged and I hope that we are instilling a better spirit into the boys of the school.

The balance-sheet shows a surplus of I.D.101 fils602. The fees fell below the estimate mainly owing to a lack of proportion in their amounts. I would propose that the following allowances be granted out of this surplus.

I see that it is usual to grant an allowance to an acting headmaster. Tewfik Effendi Basry held that position for 3 months and I would propose that he should be granted the ⟦usual⟧ allowance of I.D.3 per month.

I was faced with an emmergency caused by the resignation of Rashid Effendi Hassan, at the beginning of May. As a result, a great deal of extra work was performed by a number of masters, who volunteered to help me. I wish to propose certain allowances, not as rewards for their extra work, but as tokens of our recognition of their services to the school and the community:- Naim Effendi Basry I.D.4. Jacub Effendi Shohet " 2. Ezra Effendi Twena " 2. Yusif Effendi Daoud " 2.

Then I think that I.D.15 should be held in reserve for the holiday courses in English, which we are arranging. With the balance, we might allocate I.D.25 for the restocking of the laboratory, and I.D.20 to the library. I feel sure that the A.J.A. would be willing to contribute to both of these objects if we were to do our share.

As far as our estimate for the coming year is concerned, I am asking for a grant of I.D.1075, which is I.D.32 less than we received from you last year. Fees are being raised to produce an income of I.D.1250, and with your help and support, we hope to reach this amount. I must ask you to approve the following increases in salary. Dr Tucker: I have the greatest satis- faction in advising you to grant Dr Tucker a salary of I.D.25 per month. Her amazing activity and enthusiasm in teaching have resulted in astonishing success and the hopes of our boys in Matriculation are bound up with her teaching. You will realise that it was no easy task to prepare for Matricul- ation, boys whose English was neglected for the past two years. This increas is a piece of justice and gratitude.

Tewfik Effendi Basry. I have much pleasure in advising a salary of I.D.18 per month. Mr Basry's services to the school do not need my praise. He saved the school from destruction at a very difficult period in the history of the school and he prepared the way for what we hope will be a successful revival. He is a tower of strength to me in my duties.

Meir Effendi Haya. He is also recommended for a salary of I.D.18 per month. He spent 3 years at Liverpool University and should really be considered as a graduate. He is an able, industrious, and conscientious teacher and deserves recognition of his services.

Teachers' Salaries.

The question of teachers' salaries should be put on a firm basis once and for all.The present system is one of bargaining and is extremely unsatisfactory.The committee believe that they should buy a teacher's services for the lowest price possible and the teachers believe that they should sell their services for the highest price possible.This is both undignified and inconvenient and really causes not only the headmasters but most of the members of the schools' committee considerable inconvenience.I would like to suggest a plan by means of which salaries would be increased every three years pro- vided that the approval of the headmaster and the schools' committee is obtained.If the finances ⟦of⟧ the community do not allow such a rise at any time,the increase should be postponed until the next year. (I should add that this scheme should hold good for Iraqis only,not for foreigners who are bound by the terms of their contracts).It should apply to all the schools under the jurisdiction of the committee.

Teachers with Matriculation or a Secondary School certificate teaching in elementary forms: 6--8--10--12--14 Teachers without any qualifications in the form of certificates should begin at 3 or 4 according to the decision of the school and proceed 3-4-5-6-8-10-12-14. Teachers in Secondary forms without a University degree: 12--14--16-- 18--20--22. Teachers in Secondary forms with a University degree : 15--18--21--25

Then,we have the question of an insurance fund.I feel that it i s time that some scheme for collective insurance should be arranged for the teachers of the Jewish schools.I have seen the representatives of life insurance companies and have been impressed by the Al-Chark company's schemes for collective insurance for bank employees,Egyptian police,municipal employees etc.I should be grateful if the members of the committee would examine these and other proposals for collectiv insurance with great care.

I would appeal to you,gentlemen of the committee to do everything in your power to end the prevailing anarchy in the organization of the schools.It is a veritable nightmare to an orderly mind.We do not ask for the standards of the Ministry of Education as regards salaries as we fully realize that most Jewish institutions in the world have to carry on with limited resources.That seems to be one of the penalties of Judaism and is perfectly intelligible.It is due to the fact that in every country we have to contribute not only to the care of the genera community but also to the care of our brethren in the faith.Still,there is a compensation in serving our brethren which makes up for a great deal.But there is no excuse for poor organization.I am prepared to prove that it would not involve extra expense if done in the right way.At present,our organization,instead of being an example to the rest of the community,is a dreadful warning.We must put things into an orderly form.

I am sorry to give you so much trouble. Yours sincerely ⟦Emile Marmonty⟧ Model No. 22-2000-11-935

Report Presented to the Jewish Schools Committee by Emil Marmorstein M.A. (Cantab) Headmaster, Shamash School, Baghdad.

In presenting my report, I do not wish to dwell on the neglect of the school in the past. It is a ⟦glaring⟧ fact and must be remedied. The school has had a great deal of money spent on it and it would be an injustice to the school and the rising generation if we fail to improve matters. I hope to have your collaboration in my efforts to promote a better state of affairs.

The Staff

I have no complaints to make about the Staff. Mr. Tewfik Basry is a tower of strength and a very able teacher and disciplinarian while in Mr. Meir Haya and Mr. Murad ⟦Michael⟧ we have two of the best teachers to be found in Baghdad. I would advise the Jewish Schools Committee to devote their attention to those who are giving the best period of their lives to the service of the Community. One of the first things to be done is to get in touch with an Insurance Company and arrange a pensions scheme. I think that you will ⟦agree⟧ ⟦...⟧ about the importance of having contented and well- ⟦...⟧ in all the Jewish schools.

caused a great reduction in the number of late-comers. This proves that lateness can be avoided by the boys if they find it necessary to do so. You will understand that a boy, who enters the classroom after the lesson has begun, disturbs the master and the other boys and causes a slackening of discipline. At the same time, I do feel that there is considerable difficulty in the way of boys who live far from the school, and it would be definitely desirable if private buses could be chartered to bring boys from distant parts.

Books When I began to teach in the school, one of the first things which I noticed, was that only about one third of the boys in a class possessed the necessary text-books. This state of affairs encouraged cheating and is a very unhealthy thing. I intend to force all boys to have the books which they need. I believe this will have the effect of increasing the amount of work which is being done by the boys throughout the school.

Matriculation.

[Marginalia] 2.

The Shamash School has had a very impressive record in the London Matriculation during the last three years. During that period from June 1937, there have been twenty eight passes from Baghdad, fifteen ⟦of⟧ ⟦which were⟧ from the Shamash School. At the same time, this is not entirely satis- factory as our successes have on the whole been confined to boys of far more than average ability and industry. Actually, the London Matric- ulation is intended as an examination which the average boy should pass when leaving school to go into an office.

The plan, which I proposee, consists of having five secondary classes instead of four. We can start this year with a fifth secondary class, con- taining the remnants of our present fourth secondary with some extremely clever boys at present in our third secondary. (I should add that we have in our third secondary now a number of boys of exceptional ability). We should, then, have a fifth secondary form of matriculation containing 20 pupils with a very good chance of success.

I would propose that this form should not have the regulation 35 periods. They have reached a stage when private study is extremely important and the teacher's work should be intended rather to help the boys out of difficulties than to cram the lessons down their throats. The same is true of the fourth secondary form. In an English school, boys who have attained such a standard, would be given a number of free per- iods in the school library without supervision for private study. Here, we have not the accomodation for this kind of thing. Nevertheless, I would suggest that school periods should be cut down for the fourth and fifth secondary forms so that they would have more opportunity to study alone. At present, the higher forms are forced to sit up late into the night to catch up with their school work. Fewer hours would mean not only an economy but also more private study, with less midnight oil.

Then, we can apply ourselves seriously to the first secondary forms, which contain a majority of boys who have come to us from the elementary schools with a very poor knowledge of English. At present begin a number of subjects in English without being able to underst⟦...⟧ very much of what they are doing. It is an essential part of my plan that the first secondary year should be devoted to improving the En⟦...⟧ of the boys, while of course retaining the Arabic, history and geogra⟦...⟧ required by the Ministry of Education but excluding the mathematics and science or reducing it to a minimum until the boys have a suffi⟦...⟧ knowledge of the language to be able to absorb them.

Sir, I should like to apply for a share in the Raphael Aaron Abbay Bequest on behalf of the Shamash School, Baghdad. A brief description of this institution has already been sent to you in the application of the Jewish Lay Council of Baghdad, which also administers this school, but I have thought it right to make this additional application in view of the unique functions and position of the school. Before writing to you, however, I have obtained the consent of the Schools' Committee of the Jewish Lay Council of Baghdad. The Shamash School was founded in 1928, not exactly as a rival, but as an English counterpart of the French Alliance Israelite School. It contains six elementary classes and four secondary classes and the syllabus is so arranged that boys take the London Matriculation examination at the end of their fourth year in the secondary classes. A glance at the list of Baghdad successes in this examination will illustrate the high educational standards of the school, in view of the fact that over seventy percent of our boys come from poor homes and need some assistance with their education.

تـقـريـر عن مدارس الطائفة الاسرائيلية في بغداد

ان مطالعاتي والتجارب التي حصلت عليها مدة اشتغالي في مدارس الطائفة في السنة الاخيرة تدفعني الى كتابة هذه الصفحات لعرض بعض المسائل التي ارى من واجبي البحث عنها وتقديمها الى الذوات الذين اخذوا على عاتقهم ادارة شؤون الطائفة . كما انه ليسرني ويشرفني ان اقترح بعض الاصلاحات . ولا شك ان بالامكان تأليف كتاب كامل عن مدارسنا والامور المتعلقة بها . غير اني ابحث عنها بكل اختصار واحصر بحثي بالشؤون التي هي اكثر اهمية من غيرها . حتى يصبح بالامكان فهمها وتنفيذها بصورة منظمة وبأسرع ما يمكن .

واني لا فهم جيدا بان هذه الابحاث ليست جديدة في بابها . وان هناك صعوبات عديدة تعترض تنفيذها . كما ان اخراجها الى حيز العمل لا يمكن ان يتم بين عشية وضحاها . غير ان ذلك لا يعني اننا لا يجب ان نهدأ بها . ويجب ان نتذكر على الدوام بان درجة التربية والثقافة في الطائفة يمكن قياسها بدرجة رقي مدارسها فقط . واذا كانت الطائفة لا تملك من التقاليد التعليمية سوى ما ورثته عن المدارس القديمة في ( سورا ) و ( بومبديتا ) . فلا شك فيه ان بين ابناء الطائفة اليوم - جماعة كبيرة تفهم قيمة التربية الحديثة . واملني وطيد بانهم سوف يعاونون الطائفة لترقية مدارسها ورفع مستواها .

[Signature] D. F. Kallay

- ١ - معلمو الصفوف الاولية :

لا شك في اننا مقصرون التقصير كله بالعناية بمعلمي الصفوف الاولية . فاذا كنا قد اسسنا المدارس الحديثة للتخلص من النظام التربوي الذي كان متبعا في مؤسسات تلمود تورا - فلأننا وجدنا من الضروري ان نربي الاطفال تربية عصرية صحيحة . لكننا من الوجهة الاخرى قد سلمنا هؤلاء الاطفال وهم في دور تكوين عقليتهم ونضج اذهانهم بأيدي جماعة من معلمي المدارس الذين ليس لهم اي اطلاع على اصول التربية الحديثة .

ففي البلاد الراقية لا يعين للصفوف الاولية الا اكثر المعلمين كفاءة واكبرهم استعدادا في امور التربية . لذلك نجد ان ساعات الدرس في صفوف الصغار حافلة بكل ما يفرح الطفل ويسره وينور افكاره . سيما بالنسبة لاولئك الاطفال الفقراء الذي ليس في محيطهم العائلي ومساكنهم الخصوصية ما يبهجهم . فعليه تكون ساعات دراستهم هي كل حياتهم الحقيقية . اما عندنا فتكفي زيارة واحدة لصفوف الصغار لكي ندرك حقيقة المعلمين الذين سلمنا بأيديهم هؤلاء الاطفال المساكين .

ان من واجب الطائفة ان تفكر بامر المدرسين عامة . لكن من اخص واجباتها - هي ان توجد لصفوف الصغار جماعة من المدرسين المربين الصالحين للقيام بهذه المهمة الخطيرة . فاذا كانت الطائفة ترغب في ان تكون مدارسها - جديرة بالاسم الذي تحمله - فعليها ان تخصص في كل ميزانية مبلغا معينا زيادة على المبلغ المخصص للمدارس يرصد لاختيار ⟦...⟧ النخبة من المدرسين

M. Ittah Report on the schools of the Israelite community in Baghdad My observations and the experiences I gained during my work in the community's schools in the last year prompt me to write these pages to present some issues that I see as my duty to investigate and submit to the individuals who have taken upon themselves the management of the community's affairs. I am also pleased and honored to suggest some reforms. There is no doubt that it is possible to compose a complete book about our schools and matters related to them. However, I will discuss them with all brevity and limit my research to the matters that are more important than others, so that it becomes possible to understand and implement them in an organized manner and as quickly as possible. I understand very well that these studies are not new in their field. And that there are many difficulties obstructing their implementation. Also, bringing them into the sphere of action cannot be done overnight. However, this does not mean that we should not concern ourselves with them. We must always remember that the degree of education and culture in the community can be measured only by the degree of progress of its schools. And if the community does not possess educational traditions other than what it inherited from the ancient schools in (Sura) and (Pumbedita), then there is no doubt that among the members of the community today - there is a large group that understands the value of modern education. My hope is firm that they will assist the community in promoting its schools and raising their level. D. F. Kallay - 1 - Teachers of the primary grades: There is no doubt that we are entirely negligent in caring for the teachers of the primary grades. If we have established modern schools to get rid of the educational system that was followed in the Talmud Torah institutions - it is because we found it necessary to raise children with a correct modern education. But on the other hand, we have handed over these children, while they are in the stage of forming their mindset and the ripening of their minds, into the hands of a group of school teachers who do not have any knowledge of the principles of modern education. In developed countries, only the most competent and best-prepared teachers in educational matters are appointed to the primary grades. Therefore, we find that the lesson hours in the classes of the young children are full of everything that delights the child and pleases him and enlightens his thoughts. Especially for those poor children who do not have anything in their family environment or private residences to cheer them. Therefore, their study hours are their whole real life. As for us, a single visit to the classes of the young is enough for us to realize the reality of the teachers to whom we have handed over these poor children. It is the duty of the community to think about the matter of teachers in general. But one of its most specific duties - is to find for the classes of the young a group of teacher-educators fit to carry out this serious task. So if the community desires its schools to be - worthy of the name they bear - it must allocate in every budget a certain amount in addition to the amount allocated for the schools, to be set aside for selecting ⟦the elite⟧ of teachers

Sport.

The question of facilities for sport should be settled once and for all.The boys in the Jewish schools have no facilities for sport at all.They have physical training under very adverse conditions in the school courtyard.This is absolutely inadequate and causes such a noise that it disturbs the teaching work of the school.

I have been informed by Dr. J.A.Shaby that he has many patients suffering from nervous disorders among the pupils of the Jewish schools and he believes that the only way to remedy this sad state of affairs is to introduce more opportunities for sport.This is a problem of vital importance for the whole community as I am told that the percentage of those suffering from nervous and mental diseases is extremely high.

The only way to tackle this problem is to have a sports-ground of some kind away from the school where boys can exercise undisturbed without fear of accidents or incidents under the supervision of members of the staff.I believe that physical training should not be allowed in the school premises but that the physical training instructor should be given a number of periods in the afternoons to organize sport.

Of course,the ideal is a proper sports stadium.However,if that is <del>unavoidable-fo</del> unobtainable,could we not have some enclosed piece of ground,intended for building purposes in the future,which could be used for our purpose.Here again,we are far behind other communities.

Then,the question of military drill could perhaps be tackled once more in a strenuous fashion.It has now been introduced into the American School for Boys and I should think that at the present moment, the Ministry of Defence should agree that the larger the number of recruits,the better for the country.Of course,I leave ways and means to you in this respect because you have more experience in these things but I do feel that this is a favourable time for the proposal to be considered.

بغداد في ٢٠ / ٧ / ١٩٣٨ مدرسه الكرم

سياده رئيس المجلس الجسماني المحترم . بعد التحيه والاحترام . لقد اخبرت اللجنه المحترمه كافه ادارات المدارس بان مخصصاتها للسنه القادمه خفضت ٢٥ / ٠ بالمائه خمسه وعشرون وعلى هذا الاساس قدمت المدارس ميزانياتها وسددت النقص الذي سيحصل من الميزانيه من تزيد اجور الطلاب الى غلق بعض الصفوف او اقامه بعض الحفلات الى غير ذلك من المقترحات وبهذا لم تسدد العجز كله بل بقى في بعض المدارس نصفه او معظمه . ان اداره هذه المدرسه قدمت ميزانيتها وحصرت اقتراحاتها اولا بدمج صفي الاول ( آ و ب ) بصف واحد وعوضت عن الصف الاخر بفتح صف رابع فوفرت بذلك ( ٣٠ ) دينارا . ثانيا - ان اجور الطلاب كانت ولا تزال ضئيله جدا فرأت ان تقوم بتزيدها بنسبه ١٥ / ٠ او ١٨ / ٠ وبهذا تمكن من توفير ٣٠ دينارا كذلك كما انها وجدت بنايه اوفق من بنايه المدرسه الحاليه وايجارها يتراوح بين ٩٠ - ١٥ دينارا فيكون التوفير من هذا الانتقال ( ٣٠ ) دينارا ويمكن تاجير المده المتبقيه للمدرسه الحاليه بمبلغ ( ١٥ ) دينارا فيكون مجموع الفرق من الايجار ( ٤٥ ) دينارا وعليه يبقى العجز عندنا ( ٣٨ ) دينارا فقط فكرنا ان نسده من اقامه ثلاثه حفلات سينمائيه واجراء بعض المسامرات المدرسيه وبنفس الوقت اخبرتنا اللجنه ان المعلمين سوف يكونون هم المكلفين بايجاد هذا العجز وبحاله عدم ايجاده سوف يلقى على عاتقهم اي يقطع من رواتبهم حيث ان هذا الوضع لم يقع في سائر المدارس وعلاوه على هذه التضحيات من المعلمين ياتينا الخبر بان اللجنه المحترمه اقترحت على مجلسكم الموقر بجلستها المنعقده بتاريخ ١٥ تموز ١٩٣٨ الغاء مدرسه الكرم نظرا الى ان الاقتراحات المقدمه في ميزانيتها وتسديد هذا العجز غير ملموسه . ومهما جئناكم بصرختنا هذه نرجو ان تاخذوها بنظر الاعتبار . فان الهيئه التعليميه لهذه المدرسه تتالف من مدير وسبعه معلمين عدا الفراشين قضوا معظم حياتهم في مهنه التدريس ومكلفين باعاله عوائلهم برواتبهم الضئيله . امن الانصاف ان تصادقوا على اقتراح اللجنه بالغاء مدرستنا وحدنا من بين جميع مدارس ومؤسسات الطائفه بعد كل هذه الخدمات والجهود التي قاموا بها .. فنظرا لما نعهده في شخصيتكم من الغيره والنزاهه والشفقه على صالح ابناء الطائفه نرجوان توافقوا المصادقه على الاقتراح المذكور الى حين رجوع اعضاء لجنه المدارس المحترمين والمراجعه مع حضراتهم مجددا . ⟦ولقد⟧ ونكرروا صرختنا واستغاثتنا ملتمسين من حضراتكم ان تعبروا قضيتنا الاهتمام اللازم فتقبلوا

Baghdad on 20 / 7 / 1938 Al-Karam School His Excellency, the Respected President of the Lay Council. After greetings and respect. The respected committee has informed all school administrations that their allocations for the coming year have been reduced by 25 percent. On this basis, the schools submitted their budgets and addressed the deficit that will occur in the budget by increasing student fees, closing some classes, or holding some ceremonies among other proposals. By doing so, they did not cover the entire deficit; rather, half or most of it remained in some schools. The administration of this school submitted its budget and limited its proposals, first, by merging the two first-grade classes (A and B) into one class, and compensated for the other class by opening a fourth-grade class, thereby saving (30) Dinars. Secondly - the student fees were and still are very low, so it saw fit to increase them by 15 or 18 percent, and through this, it was able to save 30 Dinars as well. It also found a building more suitable than the current school building, with a rent ranging between 90 - 15 Dinars, so the savings from this move would be (30) Dinars. The remaining period of the current school building can be sub-leased for an amount of (15) Dinars, making the total difference from the rent (45) Dinars. Accordingly, our deficit remains at (38) Dinars only, which we thought to cover by holding three cinema screenings and conducting some school recitals. At the same time, the committee informed us that the teachers would be responsible for finding this deficit, and in the event of not finding it, it would be placed upon their shoulders, meaning it would be cut from their salaries. Since this situation did not occur in other schools, and in addition to these sacrifices from the teachers, news reached us that the respected committee proposed to your esteemed council in its session held on July 15, 1938, to abolish Al-Karam School, given that the proposals submitted in its budget to cover this deficit are not tangible. However we approach you with this cry of ours, we hope you take it into consideration. For the teaching staff of this school consists of a principal and seven teachers, excluding the janitors, who have spent most of their lives in the teaching profession and are responsible for supporting their families with their meager salaries. Is it fair that you approve the committee's proposal to abolish our school alone among all the schools and institutions of the community after all these services and efforts they have performed? Given what we know of your character regarding zeal, integrity, and compassion for the welfare of the community's children, we hope you ⟦agree to wait on⟧ the approval of the aforementioned proposal until the return of the respected school committee members and reviewing with them again. ⟦And we have⟧ and we repeat our cry and our plea, beseeching you to give our cause the necessary attention, and please accept

In addition to that, the committee has spent substantial amounts on repairing the properties endowed to the hospital since the year 934, including: Repairing rooms in the Immigrants' Khan, which currently yield annual rental fees amounting to 90 Dinars; it also gave Sassoon Hakham Heskiel Levy, the former director of the hospital, a pension for the past three years amounting to 270 Dinars; also, the trustee of the Rivka Norael endowments has deducted from the revenues an amount of 60 Dinars as compensation for his efforts, in addition to the interest paid by the hospital for the borrowed amounts against its claims to the Council. This and other amounts that the community fund is obligated to pay, we have not collected anything from them; likewise, we have not collected any amount for all the repairs that took place in the Meir Elias Hospital, the surgical instruments, sterilization equipment, and all the hospital furniture, which cost substantial amounts paid by benevolent individuals through the interest of the committee and no one else. Please audit these figures and submit them immediately to the General Council, because the hospital during the past three years has become in an extremely regrettable state, and debts have accumulated on it from every side, and the committee has no work left other than managing these miscellaneous requests. Respectfully. Vice President

(( ٥ )) ـ ٥ ـ غاية التدريس في مدارسنا :

ماذا سيكون مستقبل اولادنا يا ترى بعد اتمامهم التحصيل ؟. لا شك في ان هذه قضية لا يحسن غض النظر عنها . فقد دلتنا التجارب بان وظائف الحكومة قد اصبحت محدودة . كما ان امكان انخراط طلابنا في البيوتات الخاصة محدود جدا . ان هذه البلاد زراعية قبل كل شيء لذلك نكون مخطئين اذا لم نجعل طلابنا مستعدين لهذا الفرع من العمل . فيجب ان يكون في المدرسة الصناعية التي ستفتح عما قريب ـ فرع خاص للزراعة . وهناك مساحات كبيرة من الاراضي يمكن الفلاح المتعلم ان يحصل عيشه بكل سهولة . فلما كانت المدرسة المبحوث عنها لم تفتح بعد ـ فان بالامكان الاهتمام بذلك . والامر محصور بالهيئة التي اخذت على عاتقها اتمام هذا المشروع .

ـ ٦ ـ اللغة العبرية

ان درجة اللغة العبرية في مدارسنا متأخرة كل التأخير فانها محصورة بقرائة التوراة بالانغام من غير ما اهتمام باللغة . ولو حدث ان معلم اللغة العبرية في احدى المدارس قد مات ـ فان الادارة قلما تهتم بتعيين من يحل محلة . ومع شدة احترامي للحاخاميم الذين يعلمون اللغة العبرية ـ فاني اقول بان الوقت يذهب سدى . فان التلميذ يدرس موضوعا سنوات عديدة من غير ما يفهم منه شيئا . مع ان اللغة العبرية من اسهل اللغات على تلاميذنا نظرا لقرب هذه اللغة من لغة البلاد العربية من حيث مفرداتها وتركيبها وقواعدها . فاذا كان طلابنا مع ذلك لا يحسنون هذه اللغة ـ فان هذا اكبر دليل على الخلل الموجود في طريقة تعليمها او عدم الاهتمام بها الاهتمام الكافي . ولا شك ان الغاية من وجود مدارس بالطائفة هي تثقيف الطلاب بالثقافة الاسرائيلية . فهل نحن فاعلون ذلك في مدارسنا ؟ ان طلابنا اليوم قلما يعرفون شيئا عن تقاليد الامة الاسرائيلية وديانتها . تاريخها واعيادها لذلك فمن الواجب ان نهتم اهتماما ⟦جديداً⟧ بمركز اللغة والآداب العبرية في المدارس واعطائها حقها .

ـ ٧ ـ التربية المحدودة :

ان مدارسنا ما زالت عبارة عن مصنع لاعطاء المعلومات للطلاب . اما تربية روحية الطفل ومراقبة نموه ونشوءه فقلما تعنينا كثيرا . وقد قلنا ان ذلك يحتاج الى مدرسين مدربين . <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> لكن المعلمين الموجودين الان على علاتهم ـ لا يقومون بما يجب عليهم حتى في نطاق اقتدارهم . فان المعلم عندنا لا يعرف التلميذ الا في رقمه كأن التلاميذ جماعة من المساجين . وقلما يعرف المعلم اسم التلميذ . فهو لا يعتني بمحيطه ويراقب اسباب خموله او يسأل عن حياته العائلية . وقد سألت طلاب احد الصفوف عما اكلوه في طعام الافطار صباحا . فاجابني ستون بالمائة منهم بانهم تناولوا الشاي ـ بدون حليب ـ مع الخبز . والقليل منهم من اخبرني بانه تناول بيضا وخبزا وزبدا . فهل

(( 5 )) - 5 - The purpose of teaching in our schools: What will be the future of our children, I wonder, after they complete their education? Undoubtedly, this is an issue that should not be ignored. Experience has shown us that government jobs have become limited. Just as the possibility of our students joining private firms is very limited. This country is agricultural above all else; therefore, we would be mistaken if we did not prepare our students for this branch of work. There must be—in the industrial school that will open soon—a special branch for agriculture. There are large areas of land where an educated farmer can earn his living with ease. Since the school in question has not yet opened, it is possible to attend to this. The matter is limited to the committee that has taken it upon itself to complete this project. - 6 - The Hebrew Language The level of the Hebrew language in our schools is very backward, as it is confined to chanting the Torah without any interest in the language itself. If it happened that the Hebrew teacher in one of the schools died, the administration rarely bothers to appoint someone to replace him. Despite my great respect for the Rabbis who teach the Hebrew language, I say that time is going to waste. The student studies a subject for many years without understanding anything from it. Even though the Hebrew language is one of the easiest languages for our students, given the proximity of this language to the country's Arabic language in terms of its vocabulary, structure, and grammar. If our students still do not master this language, then this is the greatest evidence of the defect existing in the method of teaching it or the lack of sufficient interest in it. There is no doubt that the purpose of the existence of sectarian schools is to educate students in Israeli culture. So are we doing that in our schools? Our students today rarely know anything about the traditions, religion, history, and holidays of the Israeli nation. Therefore, it is necessary that we pay ⟦new⟧ attention to the status of the Hebrew language and literature in schools and give it its due right. - 7 - Limited Education: Our schools are still merely a factory for providing information to students. As for the spiritual education of the child and monitoring their growth and development, it rarely concerns us much. We have said that this requires trained teachers. <del>⟦illegible⟧</del> But the teachers currently present, despite their shortcomings, do not perform what is required of them even within the scope of their abilities. For the teacher among us only knows the student by their number, as if the students were a group of prisoners. The teacher rarely even knows the student's name. He does not care about their environment, monitor the causes of their lethargy, or ask about their family life. I asked the students of one class what they ate for breakfast in the morning. Sixty percent of them answered that they had tea—without milk—with bread. Only a few of them told me that they ate eggs, bread, and butter. So does
