If no agreement can be reached with the Protestants the question of establishing Jewish schools would have to be faced, pointed out Joseph M. Cohen, a member of the provincial parliament, in explaining the Jewish school bill to a local gathering of Jewish women. Creation of Jewish schools would require time to work out and would involve the training of Jewish teachers, he declared in appealing to the Jewish community to be patient until a solution of the problem could be reached.
Referring to the work of the Jewish school commission Mr. Cohen said that although most of the Jewish community are against the idea of separate schools yet they would undertake to establish them rather than be placed in a position of inferiority such as the inability to come to an “honorable agreement” with the Protestant school commission would imply.
